The nurse that is administering calcium acetate (Phoslo) to a patient, would best administer this medication with each meal. This drug is taken to reduce the phosphate levels in patients with severe kidney illnesses since these patients would tend to retain phosphate leading to hyperphosphatemia. Calcium acetate is known to be a phosphate binder. It should be taken with meals as it binds with the phosphate present in food forming calcium phosphate which is not absorbed largely in the body. Binding the phosphates would reduce phosphate absorption in the body. Common side effects of this drug are weakness and nausea.<span />
The renal medulla is made for the most part out of gathering channels and the nephron circles. You won't perceive any glomeruli in the medulla, as they are restricted to the cortex. This makes the renal cortex and renal medulla effortlessly recognizable.
Answer:
Only about half the energy available in an organism is transferred to the consumer that eats it.
Explanation:
In an ecosystem energy flows in a linear fashion or in one direction. Energy from sun is fixed into chemical energy by green plants. The stored chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores who eat herbivores. During energy transfer, a part of energy is used for the growth and development of the organism and large amount of energy is released as heat into the environment and only 10 % of the energy stored in the organisms at each trophic level is transferred as a food for the next trophic level to support life. This is called ‘10 % law of energy transfer’.
Wetlands include swamps, marshes, bogs, riverbanks, mangroves, floodplains, rice fields—and anywhere else, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that saturation with water is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the types of plant and animal communities there. They are widespread in every country and on every continent except Antarctica. If all the world’s wetlands were put together, they would take up an area one-third larger than the United States.
Environmentalists, biologists and others concerned about the health of the planet and its inhabitants recognize the key role wetlands play in life on Earth. The EPA points out that, besides containing a disproportionately high number of plant and animal species compared to other land forms, wetlands serve a variety of ecological services including feeding downstream waters, trapping floodwaters, recharging groundwater supplies, removing pollution and providing fish and wildlife habitat. Wetlands can also be key drivers of local economies, given their importance to agriculture, recreation and fishing.

A child's 20 baby teeth, which often come in by age 3, usually fall out in the same order they came in. That means the lower center teeth (lower center incisors) are usually the first to go, around age 6 or 7. The top center pair is next.
