Which characteristic of viruses prevents them from being used as evidence to support cell theory?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Viruses replicate only inside host cells.

Explanation:

<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>

According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.

<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>

Anemia is a condition where there is deficiency in healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin resulting in pallor or weakness. It results in low level of hemoglobin which is the protein that transports oxygen around the body. Lack of oxygen in the body will result to weakness, shortness of breath and dizziness. Nikoleta's symptoms of malaise, lethargy and being tired is usually caused by too much work of the heart. In anemic patient, the heart has to pump faster than normal because it has to supply red blood cells around the body. Since the heart is working double-time, it usually results to being tired, lethargic and malaise of the person with anemia. Nikoleta's pale skin is attributed also on the fact that she has low supply of red blood cells around the body. If Nikoleta is lethargic and always tired, little things may irritate her immediately, hence, her being cranky

Please help me...Why is it important for a health care provider to maintain accurate patient records?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

An accurate written record detailing all aspects of patient monitoring is important, not only because it forms an integral part of the of the provision of care or nursing management of the patient, but because it also contributes to the circulation of information amongst the different teams involved in the patient’s treatment or care.

In a legal sense, documentation and record keeping is also there for the protection of the nurse or healthcare professional.

A well-kept record can protect the practitioner in instances where the legal defence of their actions is required. Documentation also ensures a matter of professionalisation and proof of the improvement of practices.

Which cell organelle is shown by the diagram above?
tatiyna

Answer:

cell membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane in the diagram consists of lipids, bilayers, and proteins. The lipids, located within the cell membrane, are known as hydrophobic, meaning they are afraid of water. In other words, the lipids keep out the water. Whereas the bilayer, otherwise known as the phospholipid bilayer, is attracted to water. While the proteins simply enable molecules and other microscopic parts travel within and out the cell membrane, through the protein.
