Answer: The two vital signs the medical team is concerned about are:

1. MUSCLE TONE

2. REFLEX IRRITABILITY

Explanation:

What does APGAR stand for, and what does it measure?

When the scoring system was put into common use, medical professionals created an acronym using Apgar’s last name, so that each criterion included in the assessment would be easier to remember. The five criteria assessed in the Apgar score are:

A – Appearance (skin color)

This is an evaluation of the baby’s skin color. The medical team measures if the baby blue or pale all over, blue at the extremities, or pink all over.

P – Pulse (heart rate)

During this evaluation, the medical team measures if the baby’s heart rate is absent, slow (<100 beats per minute (bpm), or fast (>100 bpm).

G – Grimace (reflex irritability/response)

During this evaluation, the medical team asks if the baby lacks a response to stimulation, responds with a grimace, or responds by crying and pulling away.

A – Activity (muscle tone)

During this evaluation, the medical team asks if the baby is limp, if the baby has some flexion (joint movement), or if the baby shows active motion.

R – Respiration (breathing ability)

During this step, the medical team asks if the baby is failing to breathe, if the baby has a weak cry and slow breathing, or if the baby is breathing well and crying normally.

bekas [8.4K]
Based on the description of events, being that the lizard population appears to increase as soon as the snake population decreases, it appears that the snakes prey on the lizards. This suggests that the snake is a keystone species. A keystone species is one that has a dramatic effect on maintaining the balance of an ecosystem. As soon as the snake population decreases, major changes occur to the ecosystem, such as the lizard population increasing.

Therefore, the answer is D: <span>The snake is a keystone species in the ecosystem.</span>

What is the process of protein synthesis
gulaghasi [49]
The process of protein synthesis involves two steps such as transcription and translation. In the process of transcription the encoded information in the DNA is transcripts or encoded into messenger RNA or mRNA inside the nucleus. This mRNA then comes out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the process of translation the mRNA molecule attach with the ribosomes and tRNA molecules to synthesise the protein.
