Neonates are at a higher risk of developing respiratory complications upon administering general anesthesia

Explanation:

Anesthesia can lead to a number of perioperative and postoperative respiratory complications especially in neonates. Neonates may require varying levels and types of anesthesia for various conditions starting from central line or VP shunt placement, tracheostomy or gastrostomy tube placements, any excisions, circumscision and any other surgical procedures.  

The immature neonatal respiratory system makes neonatal anesthesia a difficult task due to:

Anatomically, the airways are small and alveoli network is immature.

Physiologically, neonatal metabolic rate is very high with more oxygen consumption than adults

Functionally, the lung mechanism is also immature, smaller upper airway resistance and higher lower airway resistance which causes collapse.

Hence, proper care should be taken while anesthetizing neonates with proper communication with the healthcare team including pediatric surgeons, pulmonologist, cardiologist, nursing care, pharmacists etc

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

  • The discovery of the process of fermentation dates back to 1860 when the French chemist Louis Pasteur performed a series of experiments that proved that glucose could be converted into alcohol only in the presence of fermenting bacteria and yeast.
  • His experiments involved measuring the multiplication of yeast and the rate of alcohol production. He found out that the fermentation rate and the reproduction of yeast were directly proportional. Alcohol was produced as long as the yeast remained alive.
  • Therefore, through experimentation, Louis Pasteur demonstrated that only microorganisms could ferment sugars into alcohol.

Molecules that are readily soluble in water are considered ____________.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Molecules that are readily soluble in water are considered polar molecules.

Explanation:

Molecules that are readily soluble in water (or other polar solvents) are considered polar molecules. This is because they can form dipole-dipole bonds or hydrogen bonds, which allows them to form joints with water molecules and thus dissolve in it.

a geneticist notes that crossing a round radish with a long radish produces oval radish. when oval radishes were crossed with ov
stepladder [879]

If the shape of radish is under the control of one gene, for example A than we can say:

AA is dominant homozygous genotype-round radish phenotype,

aa is recessive homozygous genotype-long radish phenotype

If we cross round and long radish:

P: AA  x  aa

F1: Aa  Aa  Aa  Aa  

Aa is heterozygous genotype-oval phenotype

If we than cross the F1:

Aa  x  Aa

F2: AA  Aa  Aa  aa

This means that the ratio between the phenotypes woul be  1:2:1 (round:oval:long).

myrzilka [38]

The student could measure only the rate of anaerobic respiration by measuring the carbondioxide gas concentration.

<h3>How to measure the rate of anaerobic respiration?</h3>

In the absence of oxygen, yeasts convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide. This rate of carbon dioxide is used to measure of the overall rate of anaerobic respiration.

So we can conclude that the student could measure only the rate of anaerobic respiration by measuring the carbondioxide gas concentration.
