C

The hygroscopic nature of lichen also does not allow them to survive highly polluted environments. This is because they will also absorb the toxins from the atmosphere into their systems. The toxins will then affect their growth, negatively.

Explanation:

Lichen is one pioneer species in primary succession. They have undefined roots hence do not require soil and can grow on rocks and break them down slowly by chemical weathering (using excreted organic acids). More so lichen does not need to absorb nutrient via roots because the organism is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. The algae can use photosynthesis to manufacture food while the fungi complex hyphae that surround the  algae can absorb water & nutrients from the air due to their high hygroscopic nature.

SVEN [57.7K]

The client with right sided hemiparesis has limited mobility because the mobility of the skin is due to change in position of the skin and the tissues that are underlying it.  

The nurse will move each joint through its range of movement which will improve the mobility of the joints. Adequate hydration is also required to maintain the integrity of the skin.

Massage also helps in restoring the circulation of that particular area.

Describe how cooperativity of oxygen binding in hemoglobin is advantageous for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tis
Nostrana [21]
The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.
