The Apgar Scale is a method used to assess the health of newborns. A score of three would indicate what?

Andrej [43]3 years ago

An Apgar score of 3 means the newborn requires immediate resuscitation.

Explanation:

The Apgar score is an assessing method done by the healthcare providers immediately the baby is born mostly within one to five minutes.

Apgar stands for the five basic parameters checked during this assessment:

  • A: Activity level or muscle tone
  • P: Pulse or heart rate
  • G: Grimace or response to stimulit or reflex irritability
  • A: Appearance or skin color
  • R: Respiratory or breathing rate

These parameters are scored on three points 0, 1, and 2

Apgar score indications:

From 0 to 3 indicates critically low condition

From 4 to 6 indicates a below normal condition

From 7 to 10 indicates normal condition.

The critically low condition usually occurs in premature, low birth-weight neonates and requires immediate intensive and resuscitative care measures to improve the newborn’s condition. This is highly necessary to improve the survival rate and prevent mortality.

disa [49]

Answer:

Volume in side A will be increased  so the height in the solution column will rise.

Explanation:

If the membrane is permeable only to sodium chloride, there will be no glucose flow.

As we assume that the membrane allows the passage of water in both directions, there will be a net current from the solution of lower concentration (B) to the side of higher concentration (A)

List the sugar and the base found in molecules of atp.
Elodia [21]

ATP is adenosine triphosphate composed of a nitrogenous base (adenine), the sugar (ribose), and the triphosphate.

Energy used by the body to perform muscular contractions and many other energy-required functions is adenosine triphosphate or ATP. The most important function of ATP is its ability to store and transport chemical energy within cells. That energy can be used for many chemical processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, chemical synthesis.. When consumed in metabolic processes as an energy source, it becomes converted either to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) because one or two phosphate groups are released (hydrolysis of high-energy bonds). Since ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate it can be used for the synthesis of nucleic acids.

The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ________, while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of
AnnZ [28]

Answer:The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM , while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

Explanation: ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM or  RER is a cisternae organelle that have two faces: the cytosolic face and the nucleus face. The cytosolic face is studded with ribosomes that are responsible for synthesizing proteins, a process known as translation. In the cells that produce hair, keratinocytes, the main protein synthesized is keratin.

SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM is an organelle that lacks ribosomes and the function is related to lipid synthesis, different case that proteins synthesis. Specialized cells located in the SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) produces the oils that coat the hair called sebum to lubricate the hair. These cells secrete the sebum in an holocrine way. The composition of the sebum is made of triglycerides, wax esters, squalene.
