When a red blood cell is placed in water, the water molecules will enter the cell rapidly as a result of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which molecules moves through a cell permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to that of higher concentration.
The inside of the red blood cell is more concentrated than the water in which it is placed, so water will move into the cell via osmosis. 
This will make the cell to swell up and to burst open.<span />

Answer:

House sparrows from England were released in the United States. They have competed with native bluebirds. These house sparrows are invasive species.

Explanation:  

House sparrows are invasive species that were introduced in the United States and once established these birds started to compete with native species and managed to displace many native birds. They seriously affected farmlands. Now they are everywhere always associated with human being presence.  

Biologic Invasive species: It refers to new species that disperse and establish in a new area far or out of their original distribution range. Once established, these species expand their distribution from the first invaded spot and overgrows. As they expand, they compete with other species for resources, such as food sources, water, shelter, radiation, exposure, among others. Species are considered to be invasive because of their high reproductive rate, population growth, and interaction with native species, which provokes huge damages in the native ecosystems. It is very common for these species to scape and start new populations in the new area, where they have less environmental pressure and better conditions than in their origin area -fewer predators, more resources, better nitches-, and these factors favor their establishment.

There are some typical steps in an invasion process:

1) Introduction or dispersion to the new area,

2) Naturalization. The new species establishes in the new area. It can grow, reproduce, and make use of resources.

3) Overgrowth and uncontrolled expansion.

4) Interaction with other species.

5) Stabilization.

In some cases biologic invasions are natural processes, that occur in small groups of individuals that can expand to other ecosystems, and the appearing or despairing of barriers promotes their expansion. But these biologic invasions have been accelerated by human beings, referring to this as "human-assisted invasions".

Please help me...Why is it important for a health care provider to maintain accurate patient records?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

An accurate written record detailing all aspects of patient monitoring is important, not only because it forms an integral part of the of the provision of care or nursing management of the patient, but because it also contributes to the circulation of information amongst the different teams involved in the patient’s treatment or care.

In a legal sense, documentation and record keeping is also there for the protection of the nurse or healthcare professional.

A well-kept record can protect the practitioner in instances where the legal defence of their actions is required. Documentation also ensures a matter of professionalisation and proof of the improvement of practices.

Given that Bald eagle has binomial name as Haliaeetus leucocephalus.

From the modern system of classification the sequence is as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. The classification of bald eagle is:

Kingdom - Animalia

Phylum - chordata

class - Aves

Order- Accipitriformes

family - Accipitridae

Genus - Haliaeetus
