Explain how myopia and hyperopia are related to the lens focusing on the retina.

Answer:

In myopia the image is focused ahead of the retina. While in Hyperopia the image is focused beyond or behind the retina.

Explanation:

I'll start by defining the two key terms, Myopia and Hyperopia. Myopia is otherwise called short-sightedness. It is a condition where one cannot see the images of objects located far away from the eyes and tend to see images within a short distance from the eyes. Hyperopia on the otherhand is otherwise known as long-sightedness. It is an eye defect which manifests by one not seeing objects close to the eyes instead he or she see only objects far from the eyes. These two eye defects are a malfunction of the accomodation feature of the eye.

Normally when an object is viewed all the parts of the eye (the organ for vision) function to focus the image of that object on the retina but especially on a part of it called the *light spot*. This then translates the image to the brain using the optical nerve. The brain then interpretes what is being viewed

However in Myopia, images are focused ahead of the retina . This is as a result of the eyeball being too long in relation to the focusing power of the cornea and eye lens.

In Hyperopia on the other hand, images are focused behind the retina. This is by the diameter of the eye being too short or the cornea being too flat.

In conclusion, from the above stated points,it is glaring that Myopia and Hyperopia affect the lens's ability to focus images on the retina.

Compare actions of cocaine amphetamines and nicotine
Nookie1986 [14]
Nicotine on direct application in humans causes irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, increased salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Predominant immediate effects consist of increase in pulse rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also causes an increase in plasma free fatty acids, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the level of catecholamines in the blood. There is reduced coronary blood flow but an increased skeletal muscle blood flow. The increased rate of respiration causes hypothermia, a hypercoagulable state, decreases skin temperature, and increases the blood viscosity.

For amphetamine the immediate effects are quicker reaction times, feelings of energy/wakefulness, excitement, increased attentiveness and concentration, feelings of euphoria. Side effects of amphetamines can include heart palpitations, dry mouth, headache, hostility, nausea, cognitive impairment, severe anxiety, lack of appetite, teeth grinding, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, rapid breathing rate, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased body temperature, erectile dysfunction, irregular heartbeat.

Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug the side effects are Loss of appetite increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, contracted blood vessels increased rate of breathing, dilated pupils, disturbed sleep patterns, nausea, hyperstimulation, bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability, tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin, intense euphoria, anxiety and paranoia, depression, intense drug craving, panic and psychosis, convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)

How do bacteria maintain their internal ph despite the ph of the environment in which they grow?
ipn [44]
The answer to this question would be: by producing buffer

The pH of optimal growth of bacteria might be different. Some bacteria can grow in an acid condition called acidophile, other live in base condition called alkaliphiles and the rest live in neutral pH condition called neutrophiles. The bacteria can maintain their internal pH by producing acid, base or buffer. If the surrounding pH is too acid, the bacteria can reduce the H+ concentration by producing base. If the condition is too alkali/base, the bacteria can produce acid by doing fermentation.
