Answer:

A. Chemical energy is used by each of the organisms in the food pyramid, resulting in less energy as it moves up the pyramid.

Explanation:

Green plants are autotrophs. They manufacture their own food through photosynthesis. Through sunlight, the food manufactured has chemical energy stored in them which is made available to the heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are mainly consumers, while autotrophs are producers.

Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs for their nutrition.

Thus, as consumers above at the top of the pyramid feeds on those below, the stored energy is being transferred up and used. These energy reduces as it goes up right to the top of the pyramid.

The best statement that describes how chemical energy is transferred up the pyramid is: "A. Chemical energy is used by each of the organisms in the food pyramid, resulting in less energy as it moves up the pyramid."

Removal of a client's peripheral intravenous catheter resulted in brief bleeding and the loss of a small amount of blood. Which
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

C)  Release of von Willebrand factor (vWF) from the endothelium, not the epithelium.

Explanation:

Hemostasis is the physiological process of reparation and maintenance of a blood vessel to stop excess loss of blood in case of vascular injury. This process occurs in four stages:

  1. Vascular Injury i.e. a breach in the endothelial barrier. This results in the dislodge of endothelial cells, exposing the collagen fibers underneath.
  2. Vascular constriction or vasoconstriction is the constriction of the blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss.
  3. Platelet plug formation involves the aggregation and adhesion of platelets to the endothelium.
  4. Coagulation

Platelet plug formation occurs by the adhesion of circulating platelets to the collagen fibers that have been exposed by dislodging of the endothelial cells. The endothelium, as well as the platelets release a ligand known as the von Willebrand factor (vWF). This molecule acts as a relay or bridge between the integrin receptors on the platelets and the exposed collagen fibers.

Platelets also release chemicals to attract more platelets to the wound site, resulting in more vWF release. This results in more and more platelets adhering to the endothelium, leading to platelet plug formation.

If a disorder limits, the number of calcium ions that can bind to actin, what would happen to the sarcomere?​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Contraction is prevented

Explanation:

The sarcomere is the basic contratile unit of muscle i.e the unit responsible for contraction in the muscle and it consist of two main protein actin; which forms filaments involved in contraction and myosin; a motor protein responsible for contraction. Calcium interacts with these protein and in the absence of Ca, contraction is inhibited (sacromere with not be able to undergo contraction)
