Answer:

1. Decreased hematocrit.

2. Increase in daily weight.

5. Decreased blood urea nitrogen level.

Explanation:

1. The hematocrit level shows the ratio of red blood cell to total volume of whole blood. When the hematocrit level is decreased it indicates that the concentration of red blood cell in whole blood has decreased hence, proves the child is hydrated.

2. Rehydration (improvement of water retention or restoration)  is directly proportional to daily weight gain, since water has a significant weight (1 litre of water is approximately 1 kilogram. Therefore, increase in the child weight proves that the child is rehydrated.

3. Clinically blood culture doesn't give an information about water content or hydration.

4. Sedimentation rate is used to determine the rate at which red blood cells settles in a test tube; an increased sedimentation rate shows increased inflammatory processes.

5. Blood urea nitrogen level is inversely proportional to blood volume. Therefore decreased blood urea nitrogen level indicates rehydration, this shows the concentration of blood components are low compared to the total blood volume.

"producers and consumers rely on ____________ to release chemical energy stored as atp."
Tanya [424]
Producers and consumers rely on CELLULAR RESPIRATION to release energy stored as ATP.
Cellular respiration is the process by which both plants and animals obtained the energy stored in food in form of ATP and used it for their live processes. Cellular respiration involved mixing the food compounds with oxygen in order to release energy.

How does overtillage harm soil?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

A. Overtillage can increase the rate of humus decomposition

Explanation:

We refer to humus as any material of an organic nature that undergoes soil degradation. Humus is very important for agriculture because it has high nutrient levels that it provides to all crops. This causes more crop productivity, increases the producer's profit and increases the number of food available to the population.

Humus is a difficult to decompose material, but under favorable conditions it can decompose quite easily. Due to the presence of large amount of burnt organic matter in the soil, it is sometimes difficult to increase the humus content, so the exhaustion of this organic matter is caused by over tillage, especially in regions of tropical and sub-tropical climate, poorly managed. farmer protection and unprotected effects of erosion.

The two are potassium and rubidium. Why? Na is an alkali metal. As you go down the metals become more reactive. 
Calcium has 20 protons. Why? The atomic # is 20 (the one at the top).
It has 20 neutrons. Why? The atomic mass (the number on the bottom) is ~40, ignoring electron mass. 40- 20 protons = 20 neutrons. 
It has 20 electrons. 
Why? The # of protons and electrons is the same. Ions aren't on the periodic table.
