Answer:

5 milliliters

Explanation:

Weight of the child = 20 kg

Prescription order = 20 mg/kg 2 hours before appointment

The total amount of erythromycin required by the child= weight of the child x prescription order.

                       = 20 x 20 = 400 mg

Amount of erythromycin per 5 ml of the bottle = 400 mg

<em>Hence, the total milliliters of the liquid that the child should receive </em>= 5 ml

Ronch [10]

Answer;

-A motor protein called dynein

Cilia and flagella bend because of a motor protein called dynein.

Explanation;

-Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain structures known as cilia and flagella. These extensions from the cell surface aid in cell movement. They also help to move substances around cells and direct the flow of substances along tracts.

-Cilia and flagella are formed from specialized groupings of microtubules called basal bodies. If the protrusions are short and numerous they are termed cilia. If they are longer and less numerous they are termed flagella.

Can anyone give a help with this please I have to submit it tomorrow!!
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(

Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.

Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.

Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.

Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets

Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.

Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.
