<u>Answer:</u>
Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?
A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>
Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?
A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>
Q: What treatments are available?
A: Medication, healthy food.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.
A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.
A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
Answer:
a selective medium, a differential medium, and a complex medium
Explanation:
EMB Agar (Eosin Methylene Blue Agar) is both a selective and differential culture medium that slightly inhibits Gram-positive bacteria and can be used to distinguish bacteria capable of fermenting lactose from those that are unable to ferment this disaccharide. This medium is commonly used for isolation and differentiation of coliforms (i.e., bacteria found in the soil and water samples) and fecal coliforms (bacteria found in the gut and feces samples). In EMB agar, lactose-fermenting-gram-negative bacteria (e.g., <em>E. coli</em>) will form colored colonies, while non-lactose-fermenting-gram-negative bacteria will form colorless colonies (e.g., <em>Salmonella</em>). EMB agar is composed of lactose, gelatin, methylene blue dye and eosin Y dye ( a xanthene dye)

Sodium and potassium have opposite effects on heart health: High salt intake increases blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease, while high potassium intake can help relax blood vessels and excrete the sodium and decrease blood pressure.
The correct answer is - B. The number and type of plants in an ecosystem determines the number and type of consumers that can live there.
The plants are producers. They are the basis of the ecosystems on Earth. By consuming the plants, the consumers are able to survive and thrive, thus the food chain develops further up to the predators that are consuming other consumers.
The number of plants and the type of plants determines what type and how many species of consumers can live somewhere. The more plants there are, the more food for the consumers, thus there will be more consumers. The higher the diversification of the plants, the higher the diversification of the consumers will be too, as every plant is unique and specialization for consuming it is needed, thus the consumers will evolve into new species in accordance to the food source.
Answer:
Gravity
Explanation:
Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. It's how coffee is usually made. Percolation comes from the Latin word percolare, which means "to strain through." Percolation happens when liquid is strained through a filter, like when someone makes coffee.
Evaporation-the process of turning from liquid into vapor.
Condensation-water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
and gravity- Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. The warm water near the surface of the ocean heats up with sunlight and evaporates, keeping the water cycle in motion.
