Answer:

B. laceration

Explanation:

Abrasion - a scrape.

The skin is not scraped if layers of the skin are sliced.

Puncture - a wound usually caused by something sharp and pointed. The opening of the skin is small and the wound does not bleed much. So it's not a puncture.

Laceration - a wound produced by the tearing of body tissue, as distinguished by a cut.

Since the knife cut through layers of the skin which includes the tissue underneath, the injury is a laceration.

a 3-year-old girl has been a fussy eater since being weaned, particularly when fruit is part of her diet. she would get cranky,
Bond [772]

The problems the girl exhibits when eating fruit is most likely due to elevated levels of fructose-1-phosphate in liver cells

Define Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI).

Fruit sugar fructose and its precursors cannot be digested in people with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI). The accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate in the liver, kidney, and small intestine is caused by a lack of activity of the enzyme fructose-1-phosphate aldolase.

The patient has HFI, which is due to a mutation in aldolase B. Sucrose would still be cleaved by sucrase, thus it would not increase in the stool. Fructose would not be metabolized normally, therefore it would be elevated in the blood and urine. Aldolase B would not cleave fructose 1-phosphate, thus its levels would be elevated and the product, glyceraldehyde, would not be produced.

HFI patients frequently grow to dislike fruit and sweets intensely. After consuming fructose-containing foods, they may experience symptoms like excruciating stomach pain, vomiting, and low blood sugar.

Paul and Emilka are caught in their car during a winter storm. What is the best action for staying safe? 1) Open all windows to
ZanzabumX [31]

The correct answer is 3) Stay inside the vehicle to keep warm.

Explanation.

One of the main risks of winter storms is hypothermia; this condition implies the body temperature is lower than normal and due to the body's inability to regulate the temperature or produce heat people can die. This condition is the result of low environmental temperature and contact with snow, cold water, cold air, etc. during storms.

In this context, it is essential Paula and Emika can be warm during the winter storm until they can be rescued. This is better achieved if they stay inside the vehicle because the vehicle will protect them from cold temperature, air, water, snow, etc. and this makes it more likely for them to have a normal temperature during the storm and survive.
