<span>You would consider the route of administration, for sure. Is the fluid going to be introduced orally? Through an IV line? Knowing the patient's current fluid and electrolyte levels in their blood would be highly helpful. If you put hypertonic solutions in the the body orally, water will be shifted from the circulatory system into the bowel. This may help someone with fluid overload in their blood to remove some of the water from their blood. It would also help to add water to the stool in the digestive system and act as a laxative. (Osmotic saline laxatives work in this manner. If you put hypertonic solutions in an IV you will pull fluids from the interstitial space between cells as well as from the bowels to the circulatory system. This would help reduce edema. If you put hypotonic solutions in the body orally, water will shift from the digestive system to the circulatory system (and will also dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system). This method may be used to reduce electrolyte concentrations in the blood, and to hydrate the circulatory system in general. If you put hypotonic solutions in an IV you would dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system and would shift fluid to the interstitial space between cells. Isotonic is probably the best way to go if you don't want to shift fluids or change electrolyte concentrations in the circulatory / digestive system. 0.9% saline would be an example of this, and is generally the most widely-used solution for basic rehydrating someone through an IV.</span>

The human heart is an organ that is made up of cells. Not all of the cells that make up the heart are identical, however. What n
slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer would be D)  tissue.

In biology, the level of organisation from simplest to complex level can be summarized as:

Organelles → cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organisms → populations →communities → ecosystem → biosphere.

It is clear that tissue is organization level that exists between cells and organs.

When similar cells are assembled together to perform specific function, the assembly or this organization is said to be the tissue.

There can be different types of tissues such as muscle tissue, nerve tissue et cetera.

Similarly, tissues arrange themselves to carry out specific function in the form of organ.

For example, heart is made up of cardiac tissue.

Answer:

The fossil of the dinosaur looked like it was a combination of two different types of extinct organisms: the meat-eating Tyrannosaurus rex and the Brontosaurus, which was an herbivore. Frankenstein was the name of a monster in a popular story about a scientist who built a monster in a lab. However, this species of dinosaurs evolved naturally. So, calling this species “Frankenstein” wouldn’t be completely accurate.

What is the best way to describe active transport?
andriy [413]

active transport. The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction opposite that of diffusion, that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. Active transport requires the assistance of a type of protein called a carrier protein, using energy supplied by ATP.
