Answer:B

Explanation:

This reaction demonstrated Bohr effect. it takes place in the  cytoplasm  of RBC , because this is the location of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which catalyzed it .  

The hydrogen ion and bicarbonate  are transferred out  of the  RBC into plasma. Chloride ion diffused into the RBC to neutralize drop in pH(chloride shift).

 The hydrogen ion is mobbed by haemoglobin in its buffer effect, while the carbonate is transferred to the lungs  where it is broken down, to release C02 .85% of blood C02 is transported in this form .

The CO2 released out of  the lungs , created a concentration gradient for  influx of Oxygen into the lungs. This is the significance of this reaction.

In addition, Option D which involved direct reaction of C02 with Haemoglobin to form carbaminoheamoglobin  is another reaction which takes place in the RBC. it is a reversible reaction where the C02 is transported to the lungs.10% C02 is tranported in this form,

Other than improvements in hygiene, give two reasons for the low death rate from infectious diseases in modern hospitals.
DerKrebs [107]
Low death rate from infectious diseases in modern hospitals are attributable to modern hospitals having isolation facilities, where infectious patients are quarantined, and having better technological equipments used to diagnose and treat infections in its early stages.

Hospitals now have areas that cater to different types of medical conditions. Areas like the intensive care units, labor and birthing rooms, isolated rooms, etc. Unlike hospitals in the early ages where everyone is placed in wards regardless of the extent of their sickness.

Vaccinations are also readily available for everyone which lessens the chances of acquiring infectious diseases and spreading them to unsuspecting people.

I have a question lol I can't sleep
Setler [38]

Answer:

Conduction, simply put, is the transfer of heat through matter. ... Hot air rises, but heat flows from hot to cold, regardless of direction. Heat will continue to flow through matter, from hot to cold, until there is no longer a difference in temperature between hot and cold, a condition known as thermal equilibrium

C. Read the hypotheses below, and identify the
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Independent variable: Salinity/Salt concentration

Dependent variable: hatching rate

Explanation:

As rightly stated in this question, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response while the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. Dependent variable as the name implies is dependent on the independent variable.

In this question where an hypothesis was given as follows: "Hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is), then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate". The hypothesis relates the independent and dependent variables i.e. it tells us how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.

Hence, according to the hypothesis, it is telling us how a change in SALINITY OR SALT CONCENTRATION will affect HATCHING RATE. Therefore;

Independent variable: SALINITY/SALT CONCENTRATION

Dependent variable: HATCHING RATE
