Answer:

a."Alkylating agents are toxic to tissues that have rapidly dividing cells."

Explanation:

In the given example the patient is about to begin chemotherapy with a bifunctional alkylating agent.

when the two dna strands are cross linked they will not separate for dna replication which will halt the cell division process so rapidly dividing cells will stop dividing and die

Moreover,Chemotherapeutic agents, also known as antineoplastic agents, are used to prevent the growth of fast-growing cells, usually in the sense of malignancy, directly or indirectly.

Therefore, Chemotherapeutic agents are Alkylating agents that are toxic to tissues that have rapidly dividing cells

So, this statement by student indicates an understanding of his chemotherapeutic agent.

Why are fungi fossils so rare?
Volgvan
The reason as to why fungi fossils seem so rare is that they are usually microscopic and often difficult or impossible to identify. Not much information on fungi fossils has been documented. This could be because fungi fruiting bodies consist of soft, fleshy and easily degradable tissues which due to their poor integrity do not keep or preserve as well as animal tissue. Even when available, it takes a trained eye to recognize fungal fossils. Not many people have the training and expertise to recognize the fossils.

Explain the stages involved in testing a piece of onion for reducing sugar​
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

<u>Reducing sugars are simple sugars with the ability to reduce copper (II) ions to copper (I). All monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, galactose) are reducing sugars as are some disaccharides, such as lactose and maltose. Simple sugars are all carbohydrates, and are used by the body as a source of energy.</u>

The use of electronic instruments or other techniques to monitor and change subconscious activities, many of which are regulated
Wewaii [24]

The use of electronic instruments or other techniques to monitor and change subconscious activities, many of which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system, is called biofeedback.

<h3>What is biofeedback?</h3>

A mind-body approach known as biofeedback employs a variety of monitoring tools to give the body's physical functions, which are typically controlled by the body's automatic systems, conscious control. There are several kinds of biofeedback instruments that can be used to track the development of the activity and show the efficacy of the therapy as it is being administered.

The equipment that measures the following uses biofeedback the most frequently:

  • brain activity
  • respiration rate
  • blood pressure
  • heartbeat frequency and heartbeat variability
  • tension in muscles
  • electrification of the skin
  • skin temperature

Devices used to measure body change are:

  1. Electromyogram (EMG): To measure muscular tension, use this.
  2. Electrodermal activity (EDA): This measures variations in perspiration rate.
  3. Measures of finger pulses: These evaluate heart rate and blood pressure.
  4. Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is used to assess brain electrical activity.
