Answer:

<h2>1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume);  1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low),</h2>

Explanation:

HCT is calculated as:

HCT = Volume of red blood cells / (Volume of red blood cells + volume of plasma) x 100  

1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume);  1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low), normal range for an adult female HCT  ranges from 38 to 46% (some sources claim 34.9-44.5%).

*for calculating this, one must know two of these three values: packed cell volume, total blood volume, plasma volume.

Total blood volume = Packed cell volume + plasma volume.

What term is used to describe organisms composed of identical and unspecialized cells?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Embryo cell or totipotent cell

Explanation:

All organisms during their embryonic stage also known as totipotent cells are composed of cells that are identical in structure and function. These cells can differentiate at a later stage and have the potential to become any cell i.e heart cell, eye cell etc. Embryo is thus just a mass of unspecialized cell which undergo differentiation to then convert into pluripotent and form tissues and hence the organ.

The separation of sediments into layers that differ from one another in texture, composition,color, or weathering characteristic
garri49 [273]

"Bedding is the separation of sediments into layers that differ from one another in texture, composition, color, or weathering characteristics".

Option (b);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Sediments mean the matter that gets accumulated in one place. Sedimentary rocks are the results of the rock due to the accumulation of small particles that get weathered from rocks or erosion over time. They get accumulated either on the bottom of the sea level or earth's surface and thus the sediment rocks are formed.

These layers of sediments that are created based on difference in their shape, size, color and composition results it in bedding.The size of rocks in bedding ranges from several millimetres to centimetres and it sometimes results in a meter thick.
