1 answer:

6 0

Scientist's once believed that living organisms could be created from non-living matter. It was known as Spontaneous Generation. In 1668, an Italian scientist, Francesco Redi, postulated that the theory of Spontaneous Generation is incorrect. He designed a scientific experiment to test the spontaneous creation of maggots. He put fresh meat in each of the two different jars. One jar was left open and the other jar was covered with a cloth. Several days later the open jar contained maggots; the covered jar contained no maggots in the jar - they were found on the cloth covering the jar. He thus successfully demonstrated that maggots came from fly eggs. He also thought he helped disprove the theory of Spontaneous Generation. Unfortunately, he did not.

A client with colitis inquires as to whether surgery eventually will be necessary. when teaching about the disease and its treat

AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is that "for most clients, surgery is recommended only if non-surgical treatments have been unsuccessful." This is because of the guidelines involving medicine and surgery as well as guidelines involving the treatment of colitis. The question should have specified what type of colitis is the patient having, whether infectious or autoimmune. In infectious colitis, then surgery almost has no role and medical treatment with antibiotics as well as supportive therapy and fluid replacement are the only ones needed. In autoimmune colitis such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, while immunosuppressor drugs may have a role, surgery may be the mainstay of treatment especially those who are at risk of malignant degeneration.

atroni [7]

Answer:

B. often use tube feet to move around in their environment

Explanation:

Tube feet are tiny tubular projections of echinoderms on the underside (oral side). They are a member of the echinoderm water vascular system.

Tubular feet are used for feeding, breathing and shifting. They are arranged around the sides, in grooves. They work by hydraulic pressure. They are used to transfer food in the centre to the oral mouth, and may stick to surfaces. Tube feet allow certain animals to stick and travel slowly to the ocean floor. for example starfish uses tube feet for the above functions.

Hence, the correct option is B.
