Hypothermia refers to a hypothetically perilous decline in the temperature of the body, generally resulting due to persistent encountering with cold temperatures. The threat of cold exposure enhances as the months of winter arrives.

The normal temperature of the body is 98.6 degrees. With hypothermia, the core temperature of the body declines below 95 degrees, while in extreme hypothermia, the core temperature of the body can decline to 82 degrees or lower than that.

In order to diagnose the condition, a specialized thermometer is available in the majority of the hospital emergency rooms, which can detect very low core temperatures of the body, and helps in confirming the diagnosis.

The electron affinity of an element is positive if energy is absorbed during the process of accepting an electron and negative i

julsineya [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.

Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;

Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g) positive

Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g) positive

For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer

Assume that instead of Taq polymerase, another polymerase, one that is very heat-sensitive, was used in a PCR. What differences

frez [133]

Answer:

Taq polymerase is a thermostable which states that it can even work at higher temperature. The main function of using this enzyme is that it is used to amplify the DNA which will help in producing ample amount of DNA sample.

The enzyme activity is temperature dependent. The denaturation and annealing steps of the PCR occurs at very high temperature.

Any other enzyme used at such an high temperature would have decreased the enzyme activity and the procedure would not be completed.
