Answer:

One of the factors for the development of pyelonephritis, in addition to E. coli, is urinary retention and reflux (option a).

Explanation:

Pyelonephritis is an infection of the upper urinary tract caused by bacteria in the urine, such as Escherichia coli.

Under normal conditions, urine in the urinary bladder is aseptic, that is, without bacteria.  The presence of bacteria in the urine indicates a urinary infection.

Urinary retention is the limitation of the expulsion of urine from the bladder. This promotes:

  • <em>An increase in the amount of bacteria present in the bladder. </em>
  • <em>The pressure generated by urine retention causes the bladder to generate a retrograde flow - reflow - towards the ureters, leading the bacteria to the kidneys. </em>

The result of urinary retention and reflux - when bacteria are present - is an infection in the upper urinary tract, called pyelonephritis.

How can organisms be so unique if the nucleotides making up dna are all the same between organisms?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

All organisms are made up of the four nucleotide bases of the DNA. Yet still all organisms are different from one another due to the sequence of the arrangement of these nucleotides. The pattern of arrangement of the nucleotides determines which organisms will be more similar and which will be more different from one another. The pattern of arrangement leads to the formation of genetic code which will differ in organisms. Hence, all organisms are made of the 4 nucleotides but differ due to the pattern of arrangement of the nucleotides.

In the following image, what conclusion can you draw about the speed of the planet at location A compared to location B? (2 poin
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The answer is; When the planet is at A it is moving faster than at B.

This is because when the planet is closer to the sun at point A, it is experiencing a stronger gravitation, by the sun, pull than at point B. Therefore, its acceleration due to gravity at point A is higher than at point B.

Describe how each of these 4 processes can affect salinity. Are they increasing or decreasing the salinity?
Charra [1.4K]

Iceberg: The formation of icebergs increases salinity because it is taking liquid water out of the ocean without taking the salt.

Sea Ice: Same as icebergs, this increases salinity because it removes liquid water.

Runoff: This decreases salinity because it is introducing fresh water into the ocean, reducing the salt to water ratio.

Evaporation: This would increase salinity because it is removing liquid water from the ocean, increasing the salt to water ratio.

Hope this helps!
