Here are the answers:

Soaking the foot in warm water<span>
Applying antibiotic ointment

<span>In an ingrown nail, the nail sliver penetrates the skin, resulting in inflammation that may hinder ambulation and interfere with activities of daily living. After the nail sliver is removed by a podiatrist, treatment involves soaking the foot in warm water and applying antibiotic ointment. Application of an ice pack is suitable for plantar fasciitis rather than an ingrown toenail. Treatment of secondary infection is advised in hypertrophic ungual labium, which results from an untreated ingrown nail. The application of padding and lanolin creams is recommended for calluses.</span></span>

1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions. → Isotonic solution.

3. When an animal cell is places in this solution, it will burst (get layer)  → Hypotonic solution.

4. When an animal cell is placed in this solution, it will shrivel or shrink (get smaller) → Hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The cells in the body are in a balance of substances —concentration of solutes— between their cytoplasm and the extracellular space. This balance is dynamic in living beings, due to the constant exchange of ions and substances between the intracellular and extracellular space.  For this reason, the extracellular medium is isotonic with the cytoplasm.

<u>A cell can lose or gain water depending on the amount of solutes that a medium has in which it is found</u>, with respect to the cytoplasm. This difference in solutes concentrations produces an osmotic gradient that drags water from the least concentrated solution to the most concentrated, through the process of osmosis, which seeks to achieve an equilibrium of concentrations.

  • <em>When a animal cell is exposed to a </em><em>hypertonic solution</em><em> </em>—<em>with a higher concentration of solutes</em>— <em>it loses water and tends to </em><em>dehydrate and become smaller</em><em>.</em>
  • <em>An animal cell in a </em><em>hypotonic solution</em><em> receives water, so it can </em><em>expand and even burst</em><em>.</em>

In practice, the concentrations of intracellular and extracellular solutes depend not only on the osmotic gradient, but also on the concentration gradient of substances.

What are the two parts of the Theory of Evolution
Anarel [89]

The first is the word “theory”, which means something slightly different in everyday speech than it does in science.

The second contentious word is “evolution”, because some people argue that there is insufficient evidence to support the idea that species change over time. Proponents of the latter view rely on our dual uses of the word theory to confuse the issues.
