Answer:

The correct word to be fill in the blank is 'energy.'

Explanation:

Secondary active transport is a type of active transport, which involves transport of molecules or ions across the membrane against their concentration gradient by using energy.

In secondary active transport, energy is provided by electrochemical gradient. It involves transport of two molecules or ions (either in same or opposite direction) and required energy is generated due to difference in electrochemical gradient formed by pumping or ions across the cells.

An example of secondary transport is transport of potassium ions by K+/H+ exchanger that transports hydrogen ions and potassium ions in opposite direction. It uses energy from proton motive force (generated by transport of hydrogen ions or protons) to transport potassium ions.

Thus, the correct answer is 'energy.'

A nurse is caring for a client with a closed chest tube drainage system. when the client is repositioned, the chest tube is disc
user100 [1]

When the chest tube is disconnected from the chest tube drainage system, immediately clump the tube and place the end of the tube in sterile water and the two end need to be swabbed with alcohol and should be reconnected back.

A chest tube drainage system is a disposable and sterile system that includes a compartment system that has a one-way valve, with multiple chambers to remove air or fluid and prevent the return of them back into the patient. A chest tube drainage system consists of three chambers a Collection chamber, a Water-seal chamber, Wet or dry suction control chamber. the chest tube is a sterile tube with several drainage holes that are inserted into the pleural space. The chest tube is connected to a closed chest drainage system, which allows for fluid or air to be drained, and prevents them from entering the pleural space, the system is airtight to avoid the inflow of atmospheric pressure.

Part of the tooth covered with enamel.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question: The part of the tooth that is covered with enamel, would be: the crown of the tooth.

Explanation:

The human teeth are divided into two parts, a hardened one, which is the one we can see protruding from the gum line, and which is the one that we use to bite, pounce food and chew it before swallowing. This portion of the tooth is called the crown, it is the white, hardened, visible part, and it is covered with enamel to protect it from the mechanical and corrosive forces of both food, and saliva, as well as bacteria. The second portion of the tooth is known as the root, and it is the softer part that is protected and covered by the gums. The root anchors the tooth to the bone structures of the mandible and maxilla.

The major body extracellular fluids are __________
vekshin1

Answer:

The correct answer is a. plasma and interstitial fluid

Explanation:

Extracellular means outside the cell therefore the fluids present outside the cells are called extracellular fluids. Plasma and interstitial fluid are the most abundant extracellular fluid component measuring approx 97% of total extracellular fluid.

Interstitial fluid provide medium for transportation of different substances  like nutrients and electrolytes which are important for a cell to function. They are also important for discharge of waste generated by the body cells.

Plasma is yellow colored fluid which contains mostly water and blood cells. They also helps in nutrient transport and waste removal. It makes about 55% of volume of blood.
