Answer:

Air embolism

Explanation:

  • When bubbles of air or any other gas cause a blockage of blood vessels in the circulatory system then this is known as air embolism.
  • There are several symptoms that are associated with this condition such as loss of consciousness, difficulty in breathing, bloody sputum, tremors, convulsions, etc.
  • Since in the given condition, the diver is having frothy blood in his mouth and since he ascended rapidly calling for help he is most likely to be suffering from an air embolism.

Which two processes does this diagram most directly models?
svet-max [94.6K]

The correct answer is D. Homeostasis and transport of molecules

Explanation:

The diagram presented shows the movement of glucose from outside the cell to inside it. Also, this diagram illustrates this process occurs through the cell membrane and there is a higher concentration outside the cell.

This complex process illustrates the transport of molecules in the cell, which refers to a mechanism that allows molecules and substances to move in and out of a cell. Moreover, this process implies molecules (in this case glucose) move to one area with a lower concentration to preserve equilibrium as shown by the diagram. Additionally, this equilibrium is part of homeostasis which is a set of mechanisms to main an equilibrium in the cell, including appropriate levels of glucose and other substances.
