Answer:

The energy is mostly released as heat through the dog's activities; the nutrients either become part of the dog's body or are released to the ecosystem as wastes like urine, feces, and exhaled gases.

Explanation:

  • The food that is consumed by an organism is digested and the nutrients obtained from the food are partly absorbed by the digestive system and assimilated and stored into the body and the nutrients that are not absorbed are released in the form of feces.
  • The chemical energy obtained from the food is released in the form of heat through the activities that are done by the dog.

<span>A human body is composed of muscles. Without it, the human body cannot function and will die. </span>

There are three types of muscle tissues: Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Smooth muscle.

The skeletal muscle aids in the movement of the human skeleton. The 600 skeletal muscles make up 40 % of our body weight and are reliant on the signals released by our nervous system to start moving.

<span>Cardiac muscles are those muscles which encloses our hearts. They are involuntary muscles which pumps blood throughout our bodies by creating steady and rythmic pulsing. They also make our heart contract by producing electrical impulses. </span>

<span>Smooth muscles are found in the walls of blood vessels, respiratory passageways, and hollow organs. Its contracting movement is wavelike and it helps in the transfer of food through our stomachs or urine through our bladder. </span>

<span>These muscles responds to nerve impulses and other stimuli.</span>

Aminosyn is an amino acid often times used in tpn orders to provide protein for cellular repair and growth. a physician writes a
love history [14]
I think theres a few methods to do it, but this is probably the most efficient.

Physician has prescribed 2.5% of 500ml
Actual amount of Aminosyn in this prescription is
500*0.025= 12.5ml of Aminosin

Therefore you need to ensure when you pour your solution of the 8.5% Aminosyn, it has 12.5 ml of Aminosyn.

To work out how much 8.5% Aminosyn you should pour, you must think of the 12.5ml as 8.5%

Therefore 1% = 12.5/8.5= 1.470588

Therefore the amount of 8.5% solution you need to pour is 100* 1.470588= 147.1ml

Then make up the rest(352.9ml) by adding distilled water. You now have 500ml of 2.5% aminosyn.

The rate of kidney filtrate formation would normally be dependent upon all of the following factors except __________.
Anton [14]

Answer: blood calcium level

Explanation:

There are several factors affecting the rate of kidney filtrate formation including filtration membrane integrity

, systemic blood pressure, and renal artery/arteriole diameters.

Filtration membrane integrity

: It regulates the filtration of small fitrates and large filtrates. It is very important to handle the osmotic pressure of salts, if it will get damage the filtration will not take place properly.

Systemic blood pressure: systemic blood pressure is very important factor as it affects the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Low blood pressure or volume due to dehydration can result in decreased GFR.

Renal artery/arteriole diameters: The filtrate move through the renal artery and if it's diameter will increase or decrease it will affect the movement of filtrate. if diameter will decrease it can block the renal artery and can cause a huge damage.

Blood calcium level do not have any role in the kidney filterate formation or renal regulation.

Hence, the correct option is blood calcium level.
