Answer:

B. ethosuximide-valproic acid can be used for absence seizures

Explanation:

The child is suffering from absence seizures and out of above mentioned drugs clonazepam and ethosuximide could be used for the treatment but, clonazepam has depressant effect on central nervous system. On the other hand ethosuximide has less adverse affects, not so sedating and tolerance also does not evolve against its anti-seizure activity. Other medication for this childhood epilepsy include valporic acid and lamotrigine other then ethosuximide, but all these medications have there own side effects with ethosuximide having the fewer.

Three Adaptive advantages of a warm blooded animal!!! Plz help!!!!
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:arm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.
