Answer:

Absence seizures

Explanation:

This is a  type of seizure also known as ( Petit Mal seizures).It   is common in children, (between 4-14 years) and  characterised with intent stare at empty space for few seconds(which may occur in 10 -100 times in a day) and  does not caused any significant harm.However,with frequent occurrence it may  affect concentration.It does not exceed  <u>15 seconds</u>

it is caused by repeated electrical signals in the brain due to interference  in the synaptic transmission and also  to alterations in levels of Neurotransmitters .

Staring into empty space,

Fluttering of eyelids

Intermittent stoppage of speech  are some of the symptoms.

Treatment is with medications.,

1. Excretion is the process of (1 point)
ycow [4]
Q1. The answer is removing metabolic wastes from the body.
Excretion is the process through which metabolic wastes are removed from the body. Skin, lungs, and greatly kidney, which are the part of the excretory system, are responsible for excretion of metabolic waste in vertebrates. Invertebrates have special systems (insects, for example, have Malpighian tubules) or use skin to excrete metabolic wastes while single-celled organisms use the whole surface of the cell.

Q2. The answer is some animals live in dry or salty environments.
Kidneys are important organs in maintaining water balance. Some animals that live in dry and salty environments must preserve water in order to maintain homeostasis. They drink and eat food with more salt in it. If they lose that precious water in such conditions, the amount of different salts in the organism will increase and it will affect a normal functioning of the organism.

Q3. The answer is simple diffusion across the skin. 
Ammonia is very toxic substance and a lot of water is needed for its neutralisation and excretion. Therefore, animals that live in water excrete ammonia directly in the water. Many freshwater invertebrates eliminate ammonia through skin. In animals that do not live in the water, kidneys and liver help conversion of ammonia into urea which is then excreted.,

Q4. They both actively pump salt across their gills. 
Both saltwater and freshwater fishes use gills to eliminate nitrogenous wastes while kidneys have a little role in the elimination of this kind of the waste. Salt that is lost is replaced by active transport of salt ions into the body by the gills.

Q5. The answer is They both convert nitrogenous wastes to uric acid. 
A garden spider and a sparrow are terrestrial organisms. They do not live in the water and do not excrete metabolic wastes in the water. It is known that ammonia is toxic nitrogenous substance and a lot of water is needed for its excretion. For water organisms this is not a problem, they are surrounded by water, but terrestrial organisms, such as the garden spider and the sparrow, have no such amount of water in the environment, so their kidneys and liver must convert ammonia into urine which can then easily be excreted.

Help me!! Suppose you must design an experiment to test how a paper airplane's shape affects the distance it will fly. Your plan
Mandarinka [93]

Explanation:

Make a standard, "dart" design paper airplane

Fold your paper into the basic dart paper plane. Fold carefully and make your folds as sharp as possible, such as by running a thumbnail or a ruler along each fold to crease it. Do not bend up the edge of the wings

Throw the plane at least four more times. Each time before you throw the plane, make sure it is still in good condition (that the folds and points are still sharp). When you toss it, place your toe on the line and try to launch the plane with a similar amount of force, including gripping it at the same spot.

Once you have a good idea of how far your plane typically flies, change the plane’s shape to increase how much drag it experiences. To do this, cut slits that are about one inch long right where either wing meets the middle ridge. Fold up the cut section on both wings so that each now has a one-inch-wide section at the end of the wing that is folded up, at about a 90-degree angle from the rest of the wing.

Make paper planes that are different sizes and compare how well they fly.

Try making paper planes out of different types of paper, such as printer paper, construction paper and newspaper. Use the same design for each.

Some people like to add paper clips to their paper planes to make them fly better. Try adding a paper clip (or multiple paper clips) to different parts of your paper plane (such as the front, back, middle or wings) and then flying it

I hope i helped
