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.

Which of these is a density-independent factor?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

ExplanatThe geometric or exponential growth of all populations is eventually curtailed by food availability, competition for other resources, predation, disease, or some other ecological factor. If growth is limited by resources such as food, the exponential growth of the population begins to slow as competition for those resources increases. The growth of the population eventually slows nearly to zero as the population reaches the carrying capacity (K) for the environment. The result is an S-shaped curve of population growth known as the logistic curve. It is determined by the equation As stated above, populations rarely grow smoothly up to the …(100 of 4579 words)

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart. Veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction. Arteries don’t require valves because pressure from the heart is so strong that blood is only able to flow in one direction.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

As a metabolic heat.

Explanation:

The loss of energy from one trophic level to the next in a food chain occurs because energy is lost in the form of heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another while the remaining 90% energy is lost in the form of heat energy in the ecosystem.
