What problem did the distilled water in the patients bloodstream create?

Biology
2 answers:
romanna [79]3 years ago
6 0

Answer & explanation:

Distilled water <u>cannot</u> be inserted into the bloodstream as it is a pure water (H₂O) compound without the addition of any minerals or salt in its composition.

If distilled water is injected into a patient, it may cause changes in the blood, turning the enviroment hypotonic, facilitating the passage of water and removing nutrients, salts and ions, as well as disrupting red blood cells  (hemolysis) due to excess water, or even modify the pH of the blood, leading to several complications.

This created a hypotonic environemnt in the patient's bloodstream. The cells were diffused in water until it burst open. The pateints blood cells swelled and as a result burst with water due to the high osmotic pressure caused by the distilled water.Jan 8, 2016

Proteins are polymers of _____. Proteins are polymers of _____. Nucleotides hydrocarbons amino acids ch2o units glycerol request
Nina [5.8K]

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. There are a fixed set of amino acids that are involved in the making of a protein. These amino acids are varied in number and type to give rise to different combinations in a polymer. This creates a diversity of protein molecules.

The amino acids link to other amino acid in the polymer through the formation of a peptide bond between them. It forms when the carboxylic group of one amino acid molecule reacts and binds to the amino group of the other molecule.

The largest and most complex mitochondrial genomes come from _____.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Angiosperm

Explanation:

The mitochondria of flowering Angiosperm plant are the largest. The size of these mitochondria varies from 1.86 million bp to 2.4 million bp. It is also the most complex one as it carries large number of repeating units which allows multiple permutations for recombination. This allows generation of mitochondria of varying sizes with in the same species.

It is least gene dense  as the inter regions are highly expanded. One of the most distinguishing feature of these mitochondria's are that they contain polypeptides. These polypeptides are basically non functional but have potential to evolve into functional one.

What are some events that involve matter and energy
natita [175]

Answer: The heating process and the freezing process

Explanation:

When ice is heated up and begins to melt, the matter that makes up the ice (water) is infused with energy. The energy causes the ice to melt into a liquid and then into a gas. As the energy becomes greater and faster, the heat is more effective on melting/evaporating the ice/water.

When water is put in the freezer to chill, the cold air causes the energy cells to slow down, causing air to condense into water, and water to freeze into ice.

These are some examples that are easier to understand than other concepts, but there are many more of these occurrences in the world!
