Ideally, the nasal septum will devide the nasal cavity equally, but it is common for this partition to be slightly off center. A

deviated septum, however, is a condition in which the nasal septum is shifted significantly away from the midline. Explain how this abnormality may cause difficulty in breathing.

Answer:

A deviated septum occurs when bone and the cartilage that divides the nose septum become off-center which results in two unequal nasal septum. This makes one nasal chamber smaller and another larger.

This abnormality causes difficulty in breathing because of the congestion and blockage of the smaller nasal cavity. Due to this congestion airflow in the lungs is hindered which results in lack of oxygen and difficulty in breathing.

Apart from difficulty in breathing it can leads to nose bleeding, loud snoring during sleep, facial pain, headache, and in respiratory infections breathing become more difficult.

A deviated septum can develop due to some trauma or during surgery but some people are born with this abnormality.

Bacteria grow in a culture at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, 300 strands of the bacteria are in the cultu
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)

(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.

Explanation:

(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n

t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)

Since t = kn, then, n = t/k

(b) Initial amount of strands = 300

Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360

k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand

Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)

Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours
