Answer:

The oxygen level of the female decreased below the minimum level due to excess carbon monoxide level in red blood cells and there is consequent alarming decrease in metabolic state.

Explanation:

The woman is clinically suffering from a emergency condition called carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide being an odorless gas is very hard to detect. It combines with hemoglobin of the blood thereby replacing oxygen and renders the hemoglobin incapable of carrying oxygen to the tissues. As a result severe symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, blurring of vision with loss of consciousness. The metabolic rate becomes alarmingly low and this situation demands immediate hospitalization.

What have scientists determined forms and shapes land masses here on Earth?
salantis [7]

C

A Land mass is large geographical area that is surrounded by oceans. Therefore this can be synonymous to continents.

Explanation:

The crust is divided into tectonic plates that are dynamic because they move on top of the semi-plastic mantle.  The movement of the tectonic plates is driven by the convection currents of the mantle that drag along the crust above.  The tectonic plates collide at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates are consumed as one is subsided into the mantle. On the other hand, new crust is formed at divergent boundaries where two tectonic plates move away from each other and magma rises from the mantle and cools into new crust.

The convection  currents occurs because the lower mantle is hotter and less dense compared to the cooler denser upper mantle. Therefore the upper mantle always tends to sink as the lower mantle rises. These convection currents are the same as in any other fluids that are disproportionately heated.

balandron [24]
The answer is commensalism.

Commensalism is a relationship between two species in which only one of them has benefit, and the other one is not affected.
In this relationship, frogs benefit from this relationship. They get water and shelter from the Bromeliad. The Bromeliad <span>does not gain or lose anything in the relationship, so it is not affected anyway. Thus, the relationship between frogs and the Bromeliad is an example of commensalism.</span>
