Answer:

The most serious electrolyte imbalance in the use of diuretics is hyponatremia

Explanation:

The adverse effects of diuretic treatment are essentially the hydroelectrolytic imbalance produced by the drugs. Hyponatremia is the adverse effect produced by diuretics. The risk may arise with thiazide and loop diuretics, and is greater with thiazides than with loop. Symptoms are dry mouth, thirst, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, seizures, headache, etc.

Why is ATP used as an active energy source over glucose? A. It is more abundant in food sources. B. It releases its energy quick
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

B. It releases its energy quickly in a single reaction.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy carrying molecule in living systems while Glucose is an organic molecule (carbohydrate) that stores a high amount of energy. Glucose is a monosaccharide and the smallest unit of carbohydrate-containing foods we eat. Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds that hold the glucose molecule.

However, during the process of cellular respiration, energy stored in glucose molecule is broken down and transferred to ATP, which stores energy between the phosphate bonds of its molecule. The energy in ATP is released to perform cellular activities when the phosphate bond of the last phosphate molecule is broken.

Although the glucose molecule stores way more energy than ATP molecule, the ATP molecule releases its energy quickly in a single reaction. This makes energy readily available for cellular functions. This property of ATP makes it an active energy source over glucose.

Why did the dna migrate to the positive pole of the electrophoresis chamber? in your response, discuss the chemical structure of
sp2606 [1]
The DNA migrated to the positive pole of the electrophoresis chamber because the DNA's chemical structure is negative.

As we know, opposite attracts. Negative is attracted to positive, that is why the DNA migrated to the positive pole of the electrophoresis chamber.

Why is DNA considered to be a stable molecule?
sweet [91]

Answer: The main bonding in DNA which renders the double helix structure so stable is that of hydrogen bonds. ... As well as this there are hydrogen bonds between the bases and surrounding water molecules, and this combined with the even stronger phosphodiester bonds in the sugar phosphate backbone make DNA very stable.

A researcher discovers a new prokaryote that lives on the seafloor near hydrothermal vents. This organism reduces CO2 to form C6
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

D. Chemoautotrophs

Explanation:

Autotrophs in plain are organisms that synthesize their own food while hetrotrophs are organisms that do not synthesize their own food.

Chemotrophs (Chemoautotrophs and Chemohetrotrophs) are a group of organisms that obtain their energy through the oxidation of inorganic molecules, These organisms require carbon to survive and reproduce.

Chemoautotrophs are able to produce inorganic molecules by the fixation of CO2 from their immediate environment. The energy required for this process is got from Nitrogen, Magnesium, Sulphur etc.

Chemohetrotrophs are a class of chemotrophs that are unable to synthesize their own food but rather ingest complex molecules like carbohydrates from the environment.

Phototrophs are a group of organisms unlike chemotrophs that depend on the source of light or sunlight for synthesizing its food or organic molecules.

Photoautotrophs are basically photosynthetic plants which are able to carry out photosynthesis ie the conversion of CO2 and H2O to give Glucose and Oxygen in the presence of sunlight.

Photohetrotrophs are a class of organisms that do not synthesize their own food but rely on other organisms or already made organic molecules.
