Answer: B) elevating his lower extremities.

Explanation:

Shock is the response of the body towards the sudden drop in the blood pressure inside the blood vessels. The body responds to the shock by showing constriction of the blood vessels in the extremities such as feet and hand. This phenomena is called as vasoconstriction, this process conserve the blood flow to the vital organs of the body so that the vital signs may remain active.

Elevating the lower extremities can be useful to judge the constriction of blood vessels in them especially in feet. Thus this can be indicative of shock.

Explain, in terms of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions, how disaccharides and monosaccharides can be interconverted
raketka [301]

Answer:

Monosaccharides may be defined as the carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed into the simpler units. Disaccharides are the carbohydrate that can be hydrolyzed into two sugars.

The dehydration means the removal of water molecule and used in the synthesis of the disaccharides. Hydrolysis means the breakdown of disaccharides into simple monosaccharides sugar. The water molecule is used up in this reaction. The triglyceride formation involves the dehydration synthesis the glycerol and fatty acids are linked together. Three molecules of water are released in this reaction. The hydrolysis reaction occurs in the formation of triglycerides.
