Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Which statement or instruction would be the most appropriate for this situation, would be, A: he is very stable, but we will take him to the hospital. The danger lies in the infection spreading to the lungs.

Explanation:

The most important deal here is that this is a child of only six years of age and that he is starting to show an increase in his temperature, as the numbers reach 98.9F, which is on the borderline to actual fever. This indicates that the original infection, which was affecting the upper airways is now starting to affect more. Another point here is the heart rate, which, although not absolutely abnormal for a child of 6, is still showing increases, which indicates the advancement of the infection and the increase of temperature. The mother needs to know that none of the signs show that the child is in inminent danger, that his vital signs in general are stable, but, he does need to be brought for treatment because the signs do indicate that the infection is spreading, and affecting the lungs.

Using specific examples, discuss the roles of negative and positive feedback processes that maintain homeostasis.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points. In contrast to negative feedback loops, positive feedback loops amplify their initiating stimuli, in other words, they move the system away from its starting state.

1.  The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from entering the enzyme's active site and/or hinder the enzyme from catalyzing its reaction. Inhibitor binding is either reversible or irreversible. Irreversible inhibitors usually react with the enzyme and change it chemically (e.g. via covalent bond formation).

2. Carbon has four valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by forming four covalent bonds.

hope this helps
