Answer:

c. Increased reabsorption of phosphate in the kidneys

d. Increased deposition of calcium into the bones.

Explanation:

Hyperphosphatemia is a condition that is expressed particularly in people with a kidney dysfunction. It comprises the kidneys, which do not excrete enough phosphate from the body as they reabsorbe it and thus leading to increased phosphate levels.

Also, phosphate binds calcium with high affinity, provoking acute hypocalcemia (decreased levels of calcium). In Hyperphosphatemia, calcium is being deposited mostly in the bone but also in the extraskeletal tissue.

(Ch. 27.4) Many people are allergic to substances in the environment, such as ragweed pollen, as well as foods, such as peanuts.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response.

Explanation:

When a person is allergic to a substance, his or her immune system recognizes a harmless substance, such as components in food, pollen, or dust, as a treat. As a consequence, it starts an immune response that leads to inflammation. The substance that starts the allergic reaction is called an allergen, and it is not a pathogen because it is not a real threat to the body since it does not infect cells. When the allergen enters the body, it binds to antibodies that are in contact with a special type of cell. These specific cells will release a substance known as histamine. Histamine will produce an inflammatory reaction affecting different tissues in our body. For example, it can make us sneeze, have a running nose, swelling parts of our body, have itchiness and redness, amongst others.

Identify the correct order of events that allow nutrients from foods to be used by the body. Group of answer choices digestion,
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- digestion, absorption, transport, elimination

Explanation:

The process of digestion starts from the mouth with the help of enzymes called salivary amylase present in our saliva. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach.  

In the stomach, the food is broken down in small fragments by churning movement which mixes digestive enzymes and food to form chyme.  

This chyme is passed to the small intestine where several enzymes from the liver and pancreas digest the food in smaller particles and absorb these particles in the blood. Therefore absorption takes place in the small intestine.

Then the solid waste material left behind after absorption is transported from small intestine to the large intestine and from large intestine waste is eliminated out of the body.

Therefore the correct order are: digestion → absorption→ transport→ elimination.

What will charles darwin have to say about lamarcks theory?
iragen [17]
He would say that Lamarck's theory is wrong. Lamarck's theory stated that traits that are used are passed on to the offspring. In other words, if an organism changes during its lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, then its changes will be passed on to its offspring. This is wrong because this means that organisms pass on traits based on genetic information and not based on the environment of the offspring.

Hope this helps.
