IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago
7 0

Silas is suffering from a condition termed as <u>metabolic syndrome</u>. This condition is mainly due to increased body weight and no physical work. Insulin resistance is a strong reason. If the person doesn’t pay attention to his/her health, then it can lead to various heart-related diseases and diabetes. The most common sign of this condition is fat accumulation around the waist line.

Why is carbon considered tetravalent?
USPshnik [31]
All what the word tetravalent means is that carbon can form 4 chemical bonds, due to the fact that carbon has 4 unpaired valence electrons in its furthest shell, which can be used to bond to other atoms, to form linear and cyclic structures in organic compounds.

Tetravalent also tells us indirectly what the molecular geometry of the atom would be if bonded to those number of bonds, if 4, then it would be tetrahedral and have bond angles of 109.5.

Suppose that in​ 2008, 819,450 citizens died of a certain disease. Assuming the population of the country is 250 ​million, what
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is 327.78.

Explanation:

A mortality rate refers to the determination of the rate of the occurrences of deaths in a given population in the course of a particular time period. The formula for finding the mortality rate is:  

Deaths taking place in a given time duration / the size of the populace among which the deaths have taken place × 10ⁿ

The given population of the country is 250 million

The number of individuals died due to a certain disease is 819450

Thus, the mortality rate per 100000 can be calculated as:  

819450 / 250000000 × 100000 = 327.78 deaths per 100,000 people.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a selection pressure?
Lena [83]

Answer:

B. Surgery

Explanation:

I am not entirely sure but based on the definition of selection pressure (which talks about how external agents affect the survival of an organism) surgery is does not meet the definition.

A tiger hunting a prey affects the survival of prey. Beginning of ice age is an environmental agent that can affect survival of organism that cant tolerate cold. Antibiotics are drugs that can kill bacteria thus lower their survival. Surgery can actually increase survival if some form of disease is being treated.
