<span>The answer is decreased pulmonary perfusion and decreased cardiac output. Such as high ETCO2 (which is the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood after an exhaled breath- normal levels should be </span>35-45 mmHg), could mean a problem with the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Normal PETCO 2 ranges from 20 to 40mmHg. Therefore a value of 50 mmHg is considered high and may be the result of hypoventilation. Tracheal extubation, pulmonary embolism, and total airway obstruction are all possible causes of decreased PETCO 2 values.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]
In the vacuum of space there is no molecules. Sound waves get to your ears by bouncing off of molecules in the air. No molecules in space's vacuum means sound waves have nothing to bounce of off so they can not reach our ears meaning we hear no sound.

Three cells each contain a 98% water wash were soaked in different solutions cell number one is so funny solution containing 100
stepladder [879]

Answer: Cell number one is an hypotonic solution, cell number two is an isotonic solution, and cell three is an hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

Cell number one which is a 98% water content is added the 100% water solution, water moves from low to high concentration. Therefore, the water moves from the solution into the cell, which is hypotonic.

Cell number two which is a 98% water content added with a 98% water solution. These two solutions are equal to one another, so the water does not move. This is isotonic.

Cell number three which is a 98% water content added with a 80% water solution. Water moves from high to low concentrations, so water moves from the cell to the solution. The water leaves the cell, which is an hypertonic.
