Answer:

B. Heart failure and coughing up blood

Explanation:

Cocaine is mostly used as a recreational drug which is a strong stimulant. There are various methods that are used to administer cocaine into the body they include snorting, inhaling as smoke, or dissolving and injecting into a vein.

Strong imbalances of transmitter levels in order to compensate extremes is caused by chronic cocaine intake. The mode in which the receptors work changes from off to working mode, or the binding partners mechanisms changes called downregulation and upregulation.

What percentage of water is lost through the respiratory system?

attashe74 [19]

Breathing is a process to move air in and out of a system. In addition, this process may also result to loss of water. This insensible loss is from the evaporative loss from the respiratory tract. This accounts for 10% to 20% of the water.

You are testing a new sugar replacement that you think is indigestible (and potentially useful in diet products). You feed 1 gra

enyata [817]

Answer: The % digestibility of the sugar alternative is 10.

Explanation:

First we have to know how many grams of the sugar replacement were in the total rat feces. We know 22,5% of the feces were the sugar replacement, so we use cross multiplication for that:

If 20 grams is 100% of the feces, then

x grams / 22.5% = 20grams / 100%

xgrams = (22.5 . 20grams) / 100% = 4.5grams

If each rat ingested 1gram of the sugar replacement, all five rats ate a total of 5grams.

Now we have to check how much of this sugar replacement was digested. If the rats ate 5grams and 4.5grams were present in their feces

5grams - 4.5grams = 0.5grams

This means they digested 0.5grams.

We use cross multiplication again to find out which percentage of the initial sugar replacement this represents.

If 5grams is 100% of the ingested sugar replacement, then

x% / 0.5grams = 100% / 5grams

x% = (0.5grams . 100%) / 5grams = 10%

Lelechka [254]

The answer to this question would be simple squamous epithelium.
When you need to supply oxygen or nutrient, the thinner cell layer the faster it can move. In this case, simple squamous epithelium is better since it provides protection but can let the nutrient transported quickly.
