Answer:

Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps. 

Explanation:

1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+ 

2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier. 

3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell. 

4. Carrier binds two molecules of K 

5. Phosphate is released. 

6. Potassium is released inside the cell 

Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.

It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.

Thus it is an active transport mechanism.

You are unable to collect capillary blood from the finger of a child who has cold hands that appear bluish. What term is used to

HACTEHA [7]

Cyanotic is the term used to describe the colour of the child's skin in the documentation of failure to collect a specimen.

Cyanosis is characterized by a shift in the colour of human tissues to a bluish-purple tone. This colour change occurs as a consequence of reduced levels of oxygen being attached to the haemoglobin in the RBCs of the capillary bed. The lips, mucous membranes, nail beds, and ear lobes are among the most common areas on the body to exhibit cyanosis as these areas have thinner layers of skin than other parts of the body. In addition to cyanosis, a bluish discolouration of the skin tissue can be caused due to the consumption of food products with blue or purple dyes.

zvonat [6]

I believe the answer is Unicellular Euglena.
Euglena are unicellular organisms classified into the kingdom protista, and the phylum euglenophyta. All euglena have chloroplast and can make their own food by photosynthesis. They are considered to have both plant and animal features. The mobility of Euglena also allows for hunting capability, because of this adaptation.
