A cell membrane pump helps human cells to maintain a relatively constant sodium and potassium  concentration.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sodium potassium pump is a plasma membrane protein that utilizes energy ATP — Triphosphate Adenosine turning into ADP — Adenosine Diphosphate to deliver intracellular and extracellular sodium (NA+) and potassium (K+) ions sequentially. The purpose of this entire mechanism is to preserve cell equilibrium.

The extracellular medium has a greater concentration of Na while the K concentration of the intracellular fluid is lower. Proteins trap sodium ions in the cytoplasm and pump them out from the cells to preserve cell stability while preserving concentrations. Within the cells proteins inject potassium ions into the cell.

An object in _____ emits radiation at the same rate it absorbs solar energy.
Nezavi [6.7K]

An object in <u>black</u> emits radiation at the same rate it absorbs solar energy

Explanation:

All body emits radiation following their temperature. E.g. colder bodies emit radiations with a longer wavelength, while the hot bodies emit radiation with short wavelength and higher frequencies.

A black body can be considered as an ideal body that absorbs all the energy incident on it and then emits all the radiation absorbed in a continuous spectrum depending on its temperature. In nature, stars behave similarly to black bodies. They emit all the radiation in a continuous spectrum depending on temperature. E.g. Cooler stars emit wavelength in the red and infra spectrum, while high-temperature stars emit lights in blue and UV wavelength

kogti [31]
The nurse could start by understanding why the caregiver thinks such a thing. She could then try to address the problem depending on what the reason for such statement is.
It could be that the caregiver had had bad experiences in the past with vaccinations. His/her child or even herself could've had any complication after the vaccination.
It could also be that he/she has heard bad things about it or is engaged in any anti-vaccination movement.
The caregiver could explain the principle of vaccination and its benefits for the individual and for public health. The caregiver could also share positive experiences with vaccination whether from her personal experience or her professional experiences that would meet the caregiver's concern.
