Highly reactive atoms or molecules that can cause damage to cells are called free radicals.
<span>Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron (electron in outermost shell). Because of that, free radicals are very unstable and they react quickly with other substances in order to make up the number of electrons in their outer shell. Free radicals may be generated in many different ways such as redox reactions, ionizing radiation, heat, electrical discharges..</span>
<span>Oxidative stress is a process which happens within the body and it is caused by oxygen free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress can damage cells, leading to a range of diseases and cause aging.</span>

There are choices for this question namely:

a. What is your name and where do you live?
b. How much poison did you swallow?
c. How long have you been feeling this way?
<span>d. What have you recently had to eat or drink?
</span>
The correct answer is "what have you recently had to eat or drink". This will confirm the suspicion by first ruling out potential reactive foods or drinks that may have caused a similar reaction (i.e. allergic reactions). If that is ruled out, then the probing about the history of intake of poison will come next in the interview.

A distention of the renal pelvis due to urine collecting in the kidney is
Solnce55 [7]
The correct answer is hydronephrosis. Distention means being enlarged or swollen due to internal pressure. In this case, the internal pressure would be urine collecting in the kidney. This occurs when the urine is unable to drain from the kidney to the bladder due to an obstruction. Contrary to common belief, hydronephrosis is not a disease itself, but is instead is the result of a disease.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

One thing that I can contribute to the NC State Community campus diversity is my culture and my background.

I’m a first-generation American born Nigerian. My parents are from Nigeria and relocated to America some years before I was born. This as lead to basically two influences in my life, the influence of the Nigerian culture from my parents and my community, and the influence of the U.S. culture.

Basically, these are the two influences in my life, I had to mix the varying unique ways to living into one and take good advantage of life out of both worlds.

At majority of the time, my beliefs align with the beliefs of a typical Nigerian but at other times I see myself conflicted due to the varying or separate backgrounds.

I believe in living a day at a time and to enjoy the present moment so as to get the best from both backgrounds which has structured me into the person I am today.
