Answer: Option C."hypernatremia"

Explanation:

Hypernatremia is defined as the a electrolyte problem in which sodium concentration rises to a value more than 145 mmol/L in serum.

The major symptoms of hypernatremia involves thirst, muscle twitching or spasms, and confusion.

Hypernatremia is a hyperosmolar condition caused by a decrease in total body water (TBW) against electrolyte content and several causes of hypernatremia includes intake of hypertonic fluid, salt poisoning in children, and inadequate intake of free water associated with total body sodium depletion et cetera.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Gold has a specific heat of 0.129 J/(g×°C). How many joules of heat energy are required to raise the temperature of 15 grams of

Elodia [21]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 121.905 \ J }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the energy given mass, specific heat, and change in temperature. Therefore, we must use this formula;

$q= mc \Delta T$

The mass is 15 grams and the specific heat is 0.129 J/(g×°C). Let's calculate the change in temperature.

ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
ΔT= 85 °C- 22°C = 63°C

Now we know all the values:

$m= 15 \ g \ \\c= 0.129 \ J / (g* \textdegree C) \\\Delta T= 63 \ \textdegree C$

Substitue the values into the formula.

$q= (15 \ g)( 0.129 \ J / (g* \textdegree C)) ( 63 \ \textdegree C)$

Multiply the first numbers together. The grams will cancel.

$q= (1.935 \ J/ \textdegree C) ( 63 \ \textdegree C)$

Multiply again, this time the degrees Celsius cancels.

$q= 121.905 \ J$

<u>121.905 Joules</u> are required.

Lena [83]

When the influenza virus enters an epithelial cell, the infected cell responds by posting antigens and acting as a flag for cytotoxic T cells.

<h3>What is the cell-mediated response?</h3>

The cell-mediated response is a type of immune response where the organism is able to respond to pathogens by immune cells.

Macrophages (as well as other immune cells ) can act during cell-mediated immune responses.

In conclusion, when the influenza virus enters an epithelial cell, the infected cell responds by posting antigens and acting as a flag for cytotoxic T cells.

Answer: the correct option is C(communicate through sign language)

Explanation:

Chantek the orangutan is one of many nonhuman primates that scholars have used to draw conclusions about the origins of human language because they seem to be able to communicate through sign language. Taught by American anthropologists Lyn Miles and Ann Southcombe Channel the orangutan learnt how to communicate using that American sign language.
