Answer:
The presence of air in the pleural cavity
Explanation:
A pneumothorax occurs when air builds up between the lung and the chest wall. In consequence, pneumothorax occurs when air gets into the pleural cavity (i.e., the space between the lung and the chest wall) and causes a fully and/or partially collapsed lung. Some of the most common symptoms of pneumothorax include shortness of breath (respiratory distress), rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, fatigue, agitation, dry cough, etc. Pneumothorax can be caused by a chest injury, an accident during a medical procedure, damage from underlying lung diseases, etc.
The right answer is C
This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).
Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.
Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).
NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
Answer:
C, a long absolute refractory period.
Explanation:
Tetanus is not possible in cardiac muscle tissue because cardiac cells have longer action potentials and a very long refractory period compared to other cells. This helps prevent the heart from cramping and seizing up.
TRUE IS YOUR CORRECT ANSWER.
A water molecule consists of two atoms of hydrogen linked by covalent bonds to the same atom of oxygen. Atoms of oxygen are electronegative and attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds.
