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.

HURRY PLEASE I NEED A PARAGRAPH. Describe how cell membranes are selectively permeable.
Simora [160]

Explanation:

Cell membranes are selectively permeable. Some solutes cross the membrane freely, some cross with assistance, and others do not cross at all. A few lipophilic substances move freely across the cell membrane by passive diffusion. ... Large molecules do not cross intact cell membranes, except in certain special cases.

Humans can take up available space, disrupt systems, or change water supplies in an ecosystem. What conclusion can you make abou
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Human activities affect the flow of energy and matter in an ecosystem and alter the energy balance in ecosystems through the unsustainable nature of what they do.  The energy flow is affected in several ways as a result of pollution, overpopulation, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, etc. Such changes have stimulated soil erosion, climate change, causing water unfit to consume, poor quality of air and so on. When humans cause a change in the energy balance, they impact the ability of the ecosystem to respond and adapt to changes in the environment. It is like getting a cut, but it never heals and grows bigger instead.
