Answer:

See if there are leaks in the system.

Explanation:

Lung resection may be defined as the surgical procedure of removal of lungs part whether fully or partially. This surgery is mainly performed in case of lung injury or tumors.

The respiration in these patients requires the water seal chamber. The chest tube is inserted for the proper respiration. If the bubbling is more, this means there is leakage in the system. The leakage leads to the excess formation of bubbles due to the release of more gases.

Thus, the correct  answer is option (c).

Answer:

Option C, See if there are leaks in the system

Explanation:

Water bubbling more than the expected value signifies leakage or defect in the water seal chamber during the late postoperative period. In case if the chest tube is clogged, there is a possibility of blocking or development of kink in the water seal chamber. In case of clogging or kink, the bubble will not be formed at all. In fact there will be no fluctuation in the tank

Malfunctioning of wall suction unit will not affect the water seal chamber, in fact it will affect the suction chamber . Hence only possibility of increased bubbling is leakage.

Hence, option C is correct

Answer:

The correct option is C: "Oxygen levels would be higher, but carbon dioxide levels would be the same".

Explanation:

The sealed aquarium is paced near a window which means they have access to sunlight, and hence, can photosynthesize. As the plants use up carbon dioxide during the day and give out oxygen during this process, they also respire during the night, a product of which is carbon dioxide. This is why the levels of carbon dioxide will remain the same and level of oxygen will rise because they are photosynthesizing for a longer period during the day than they are respiring during the night.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

You can physically see the ____ of a trait, but not the ____ .
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

1.) A. Phenotype

B. Genotype

Phenotype corresponds to the physical appearance of a particular characteristic or morphological form in an individual.

Example - Hair color, plant height, skin color.

On the other hand, genotype corresponds to the genetic makeup of an individual. It is depicted by the gene that is present in the individual organism. Example- Genotype for dwarf height in pea plant is 'tt', which carries both recessive gene variants.

Thus, we can physically see the phenotype of a trait, but not the genotype.

He Aleutian Trench is an area where the oceanic Pacific Plate is converging with the continental North American Plate. What can
Gnoma [55]

The correct answer is: The trench is formed by a subduction zone which has also created volcanic islands.

As all the other trenches on the plate boundaries of the Pacific plate, the Aleutian Trench, on the boundary between the Pacific and the North American plate, has also come to be because of the subduction zone appearing between the two plates.

The lower and heavier Pacific plate is subducting bellow the North American plate, and that results into large deep spaces opening up between the two plates, thus the emergence of the trenches. Also, because the magma from bellow the crust has easy access to the surface, it comes upwards and creates multiple islands with the volcanic activity that it produces.
