An individual with an uncertain vaccine history has been brought to the emergency room after receiving severe lacerations in an

accident with farm machinery. In addition to administering a tetanus toxoid vaccine, he is given a shot of tetanus immune globulin (TIG), a form of passive immunization. Why are both necessary?
A) The tetanus vaccine provides immediate protection, and the tetanus immune globulin provides long-term protection.B) The doctor is not sure which will work faster in this patient so decides to administer both.C) The tetanus immune globulin is given only when there are severe injuries and a high risk of infection.D) Tetanus immune globulin is always given along with the tetanus vaccine.E) The tetanus immune globulin provides immediate, short-term protection, and the tetanus vaccine provides long-term protection.

Answer:

E) The tetanus immune globulin provides immediate, short-term protection, and the tetanus vaccine provides long-term protection.

Explanation:

Basically, immunization is very important and necessary to protect the person from diseases.

In the above scenario, individual who is injured with severe lacerations does not have any history of previous tetanus vaccination. Because vaccination is for long term protection but it also take time to produce antibodies in an individual. Individual is injured and can have risk of tetanus.

So, along with vaccine we will administered the tetanus immune globulin to provide immediate, short term protection against tetanus.

Determine how to make positive and negative ions. Based on your exploration which subatomic particle is positive? Which subatomi
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral as a result of having an equal amount of positive (due to the protons) and negative (due to the electrons) charges on it.

An ion generally is an electrically unbalanced atom (i.e an atom with a net charge on it)

A negative ion called an anion is produced when an atom gains an extra electron from a neighboring atom, giving it an extra negative charge. This can be produced by ionization with a radioactive radiation or simply by dissolution.

A positive ion is called a cation and it is produced when an atom loses electron to a neighboring atom. The loss of this electron causes the positive charges to outweigh the negative charges in the atom. Cations can be produced by radioactive radiation ionization of an atom or by simple dissolution.

The subatomic particle that is negative is the 'electron'.

What atom is similar to H
Afina-wow [57]
H = Hydrogen if I am correct.
So, the answer is:
muonic helium, possessing an unpaired valence electron, can bond with other atoms, and behaves more like a hydrogen atom than an inert helium atom.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

523.035 km

Explanation:

It is given that, a distance of 325 miles is covered on a trip to Europe. In this problem, we need to find how many kilometers will you be traveling.

To convert 325 miles to km, we must know the conversion from miles to kilometers.

1 mile = 1.60934 km

For 325 miles, multiply it by 1.60934 i.e.

325 miles = (325 × 1.60934) km

= 523.035 km

Hence, you will be travelling 523.035 km on a trip to Europe.

Discuss and provide examples of each of the terrestrial biomes.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: There are eight types of terrestrial biomes - temperate grasslands, temperate forests, tropical rainforests, subtropical rainforests, savannas, subtropical deserts, chaparral, boreal forests and arctic tundra.

Explanation: A terrestrial biome can be defined as an area of land that have similar communities of plants and animals and also similar climate.

Temperate grasslands: The climate temperature varies from semi-arid to semi-humid. Vegetation consist of grass and/or shrubs. Example includes  Eurasian steppes, north american prairies.

Temperate forests: It is second largest biome , which covers 25% of the world's forest area. Its is known for its seasons and leaf-shedding trees. For example the Valdivian and magellanic temperate forests.

Tropical rainforests: It occurs in the areas of tropical climate. There is no dry season. Average precipitation of the year is at least of 60 mm. For example Daintree rainforests, Congo rainforests.

Subtropical rainforests: It has the the features of temperate forests and tropical forests.

Savannas: It is a mixed woodland grassland ecosystem. Tress are widely spaced so that canopy does not close. For example Serengeti plains of Tanzania.

Subtropical desert: High temperature, warm soils, and very low precipitation are its important features. Plants such as shrubs and succulents can be found there. Mojave desert, Sonoran are the examples.

Chaparral: It is a heathland plant community. Found mainly in US state of California and in northern portion of the Baja California peninsula. For example Santa ynez mountains, near Santa Barbara, California.

Boreal forests: It is also known as Taiga. It has coniferous forests consisting mainly of spruces, larches and pines. It is world's largest forest. For example Jack London Lake in Russia.

Arctic tundra: It is a vast, cold, and treeless area of low, swampy plains in the north around Arctic ocean. There are three regions and associated type of tundra that are Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine.
