Answer:

A) Horner's syndrome

Explanation:

Horner's syndrome:

Horner syndrome occurs due to damage of nerve pathway from brain to eye and face.

In this condition particularly damage one side of the face and eye of the patient.

Symptoms:

Its symptoms include:

  • Miosis (pupil will become small)
  • ptosis (upper eyelid will drooping)
  • anisocoria (pupil size will be physically different between two eyes)
  • anhidrosis (there will be no sweating or little in rare cases)

So, The above mentioned condition proves the presence of Horner's syndrome.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Cells and tissue

Explanation:

Cells are the most basic unit of life made up of several organelles that perform various functions which enables the cell to exist.

An aggregation of cells is called a tissue. The bone is composed of several interconnected cells and tissues.

A bone heals when bone cells and tissues are gradually repaired. Hence, the most basic levels of organization involved when a bone heals are cells and tissues.

How does carbon not get lost when it moves through the carbon cycle
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth’s temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy. Carbon moves from one storage reservoir to another through a variety of mechanisms. For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules. Animals that eat plants digest the sugar molecules to get energy for their bodies. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the carbon back into the atmosphere or soil, continuing the cycle. The ocean plays a critical role in carbon storage, as it holds about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Two-way carbon exchange can occur quickly between the ocean’s surface waters and the atmosphere, but carbon may be stored for centuries at the deepest ocean depths. Rocks like limestone and fossil fuels like coal and oil are storage reservoirs that contain carbon from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. When these organisms died, slow geologic processes trapped their carbon and transformed it into these natural resources. Processes such as erosion release this carbon back into the atmosphere very slowly, while volcanic activity can release it very quickly. Burning fossil fuels in cars or power plants is another way this carbon can be released into the atmospheric reservoir quickly.Human activities have a tremendous impact on the carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels, changing land use, and using limestone to make concrete all transfer significant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rapidly rising; it is already considerably greater than at any time in the last 800,000 years.  The ocean absorbs much of the carbon dioxide that is released from burning fossil fuels. This extra carbon dioxide is lowering the ocean’s pH, through a  process called ocean acidification. Ocean acidification interferes with the ability of marine organisms (including corals, Dungeness crabs, and snails) to build their shells and skeletons.
