A client suffering from an asthma attack is brought to the emergency department. The client's body temperature is 98.4 f, pulse

rate is 110 bpm, respiratory rate is 24 shallow breaths/minute, and the blood pressure is 136/86 mm hg. Arterial blood gas values are also documented. Blood ph 7.30, partial pressure of carbon dioxide 58 mm hg, partial pressure of oxygen 88 mm hg, bicarbonate concentration 29 meq/l, oxygen saturation 88%. Which condition has the client developed?

The correct answer is uncompensated respiratory acidosis.

This is a condition in which decreased ventilation (hypoventilation) increases the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood which causes the pH of blood and to decrease (becomes acidic. Acidosis occurs because restoration of normal acid-base balance is not possible or has not yet been achieved. Uncompensated acidosis is characterized by abnormal pH and abnormal values of PaCO2 or HCO3.

Answer:

1. The molecular structure of complex macromolecules show that a chemical reaction has occurred.

2. Genes are regions of DNA that carry the code for making proteins.

3. There is a decrease for competition for food amongst individuals in the group.

4.

Explanation:

Question 1:

Larger macromolecules breakdown into smaller macromolecules and combine during the reaction. - no, this is an example of a complex product being broken down into simpler components.

The basic need for oxygen makes the element essential to create macromolecules. - no, this does not provide evidence of chemical reactions creating complex products

Water molecules combine to form complex macromolecules that the body needs.  -  no, water molecules do not combine alone

The molecular structure of complex macromolecules show that a chemical reaction has occurred. - this is true, macromolecules are generally made up of several small monomers that have been linked together with the use of chemical energy. This usually occurs through dehydration synthesis and involves the loss of water, but forms bonds between the monomers

Question 2:

Proteins are regions of genes that carry the code for making DNA.  - this is false proteins are produced by the cell, directed by the sequence of DNA. Broadly, a gene specifies the sequence of one protein.

DNA contains amino acids that carry the code for a protein that makes genes.  - false. The genes are functional units of DNA, and the transcription of DNA into RNA and translation of RNA makes a chain of amino acids, forming a protein

Proteins are made up of DNA that contains the code to make genes.  - false. Proteins are made up of amino acids, the sequence of which is determined by DNA (of which genes are the functional unit)

Genes are regions of DNA that carry the code for making proteins. - true. Genes are often described as the functional units into which DNA can be divided into, containing the code to synthesise proteins via an RNA intermediate.

Question 3:

Bees swarm to find shelter and increase their chances of survival.  - this is false, bees swarm to propagate the population, creating two colonies from one and increasing the resource availability for the two newly formed hives.

The worker bees have an increase of survival due to their ability to find a mate. - this is false, worker bees do not mate as part of the general group structure

Female bees work alone to take care of their young to allow the male worker bees to search for food. - this is false, bees show alloparental care, which means parents help to raise offspring that are not biologically there own, helping the hive.  

There is a decrease for competition for food amongst individuals in the group. - this is true, bees work together to generate food sources, meaning there is not direct competition between the bees in the same hive.

Question 4

The carbon dioxide from the atmosphere gets dissolved by the ocean and fish absorb it through their gills.  - this is false, fish respiration expels carbon dioxide following respiration

Marine plants release carbon dioxide in the ocean for the fish to be able to use for cellular respiration - false, marine plants require carbon dioxide to photosynthesise, and fish expel carbon dioxide.

The ocean dissolves carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and it is used by phytoplankton during photosynthesis. - this is true, carbon dioxide is used by ocean autotrophs in order to carry out photosynthesis

The largest amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from the hydrosphere - this false, it is not evidence of carbon cycling through the atmosphere, which refers to how carbon dioxide is moved through processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and burning of fossil fuels

Which ecosystem service would suffer from the opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

D. Supporting

Explanation:

Ecosystem services include provisioning, regulating, culture and supporting services.

Opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range will affect the supporting services of ecosystem because supporting services deals with soil formation, provision of habitat and nutrition cycle.

Opening of mineral mine will destroy the tosoil, landscape, forests and wildlife of mountain area which affect the supporting services such as habitat and soil formation.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. supporting".

Protists are very diverse, and many different classification schemes have been used to define relationships between the protists
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

D. heterotrophic by ingestion, pseudopods

Explanation:

Protists are generally classified  as all eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. Example is amoeba, paramecium etc.They may be unicellular or multi cellular in nature.Most exist in colonies.

Their mode of nutrition can be photosynthetic or hetrotrophic. Hetrotrophic  protists   can be divided into  phagotrophs and osmotrops/saprotrophs. The phagotrophs  makes use of the cell body to engulf the food materials as  in amoeba ,carry out extracellular digestion before swallowing it.

Osmotrops absorbed dissolved food from surrounding liquid environments directly. (Some photosynthetic protists can also be heterotrophic.

Amoeboid movement is the mode of locomotion of protists and some  other eukaryotes. It involved the protrusion of cytoplasm, which exert pressure on the cell membrane to form pseudopodia and  the posterioly  evolved  <u>Uropods. </u>

<u />

<u>  </u>

<u>Sol-gel theory has been proposed to expalin this movements, The ectopalsm of amoeba is gelly-like , while the endiplams is less viscpus   and said to be sol. The interchange of the cytoplasmic fluis between the endo-and ecto plasm gives the SOL-GEL propulsion of the protopalms for the amoebic moveemnts .</u>

<u />

<u>The false feet(psuedopodium) drags the amoeba  along in the direction of the flow of the cytoplasm.</u>

Therefore option D is  the right option
