In assessing the adequacy of the patient's breathing. The healthcare practitioner should observe the rise and fall of the chest. In this inspection, the healthcare practitioner can assess two things: (1) patency of the airway and (2) the adequacy of breathing. A decrease or asymmetry in chest expansion may point out to pathologies such as pleural effusion or pneumothorax.

A doctor is studying a disease where the nucleus of a cell does not grow properly. What do you think would happen to the cells'
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The cell would fail to function. It would likely fail to properly replicate DNA properly or transcribe genes.

Explanation:

The nucleus holds the genetic information, the DNA. If the nucleus does not grow properly, the DNA might not fit or be properly organized inside. This would mean DNA replication could not proceed as normal, and the DNA might not even be able to fit inside the nucleus!

The cell would also struggle to properly transcribe the DNA if the nucleus is not fully formed. DNA acts as a template for mRNA transcription, which directs protein synthesis. The cell will very quickly die if there are inaccuracies in protein synthesis due to mRNA not being adequately synthesized.

Which of the following is a true statement?Anabolic pathways build molecules, require energy, and are endergonic.Anabolic pathwa
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A: Anabolic pathways build molecules, require energy and are endergonic

Explanation:

Anabolism and catabolism are the two important process of metabolism - a process through which cells get energy to drive various processes within the body and get rid of toxic wastes.

Anabolic and catabolic reactions can be described as opposing sides of the same coin. While anabolism refers to the various reactions that build up molecules within the cell, catabolism has to do with the breakdown of big or complex molecules into smaller ones.

Both processes involves energy. Anabolic reactions require energy to drive the building up process and therefore referred to as endergonic reactions. On the other hand, catabolic reactions liberate energy during the breaking down of complex molecules and therefore referred to exergonic reactions.

A good example of anabolic reaction is photosynthesis which involves the building up of carbohydrate (glucose) using carbon-dioxide, water molecule and energy while a good example of catabolic reaction is respiration which involves the breakdown of carbohydrates into carbon-dioxide, water molecules and the release of energy.

Hence, the only correct option is A.

Rufina [12.5K]
<span>It is the superior surface of the medial and lateral condyles. The medial condyle is a projection on the lower extremity of the femur, and the lateral condyle is the other projection on the lower extremity of the femur. The medial condyle is larger than the lateral as it bears more weight from the body.</span>

A rock has a volume of 560 mL and a mass of 1250 g. What is the density?
Blizzard [7]

Density = mass/volume

Density = 1250 g/560 mL

D ≈ 2.23 g/mL (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

I hope this helps :)
