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.

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.

Which process must occur before the gametophyte generation?
Ber [7]
<span>The process must occur before the gametophyte generation is Sporophyte. A sporophyte is the diploid generation of a plant or alga that has a double set of chromosomes. [ All land plants, and some algae, have life cycles in which a multicellular haploid gametophyte generation alternates with a multicellular diploid generation. In the Gymnosperms and flowering plants (Angiosperms), the sporophyte generation is the most prominent phase, comprising the familiar green plant with its roots, stem, leaves and cones or flowers. In the flowering plants, the gametophytes are very reduced in size, and are represented by the pollen and the embryo sac.</span>
