Answer:

The correct answer is- iodine

Explanation:

Thyroid glands is an important endocrine gland of the body which release hormone called thyroid hormone in the blood. It plays an important role in metabolism, brain development, and function, muscle control, etc.

The active form of thyroxine is triiodothyronine and the formation of thyroid hormone requires the availability of iodine. Four iodine atoms are present in thyroxine and 3 is present in triiodothyronine. Without iodine, they can not be produced.  

Therefore iodine is the essential element that is required for the manufacturing of thyroxine and triiodothyronine.

Which combination of arterial blood gas (ABG) values confirms respiratory acidosis if a male client with Guillain-Barré syndrome
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

D) pH, 7.25; PaCO2 50 mm Hg

Explanation:

For respiratory acidosis confirmation by arterial blood gas values, there should be:

  • pH value less than 7.35 <em>(it indicates the acidosis in body but there may be multiple sources of acidosis). </em>
  • Partial carbon dioxide pressure greater than 45 mmHg<em> (it indicates that the acidosis source is respiratory)</em>

Therefore a person with values (pH, 7.25; PaCO2 50 mm Hg) would express respiratory acidosis.

The value (pH, 5.0; PaCO2 30 mm Hg) indicates the respiratory alkalosis condition.

The hurricane is here!!! describe 5 things you should do to stay safe and survive
alisha [4.7K]

Before the storm, last minute preparations should include:

<span>Make sure your windows are protected and your home is secured.<span>Check your disaster supplies kit. Make sure you have water, non-perishable food, medications and don't forget that non-electric can opener.</span>Clean containers for cleaning water. Line the bathtub with plastic sheeting or a clean shower curtain, or caulk the drain with silicone caulking — it holds water for weeks and cleans up easily when dry. Plan on three gallons per person, per day for all uses (including flushing the toilet).</span>

During the storm, howling winds, driving rain and the threat of tornadoes make riding out a hurricane a scary ordeal. Follow these tips for staying safe in your home during a hurricane:

<span>Stay inside and away from windows, skylights and glass doors. Find a safe area in your home (an interior room, a closet or bathroom on the lower level).If flooding threatens your home, turn off electricity at the main breaker.<span>If you lose power, turn off major appliances such as the air conditioner and water heater to reduce damage.</span></span>

Mice collected from the Sonoran desert have two phenotypes, dark(D) and light (d). The mice shown below were collected in a trap
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Frequency of individuals with recessive trait(dd)= 71.4 %

Explanation:

Please see the attached.

In the image it is clear that there are total 26 mouse out of which 6 are dark colored.

Since dark color allele is dominant, these  6 dark colored mouse will have genotype either  DD or Dd

The individuals with genotype "dd" will be of light color.

Number of light colored mouse = 21 -6 = 15

Frequency of individuals with recessive trait(dd)

= \frac{15}{21} * 100\\

= 71.4 %
