Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The normal value range of pH is 7,35-7,45.

If the pH es <u>higher than 7,45</u> we say it is alkalosis and if the pH es <u>lower than 7,35</u> we say it is acidosis. That being said, we can now rule out option B and C.  

Then we have to define <u>respiratory acidosis:</u> it is a decrease of pH because of a high value of PaCO2 (in this case as a result of hypoventilation). The normal range of PaCO2 is 35-45 mmHg.  

So if we take all this in consideration, the only option with a low pH and a high paCO2 is option D.

What would happen if you fasted for a week
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Explanation: One thing is for sure: you would have a tremendous amount of weight loss. Water weight burns faster than that of the weight from what you eat. Without supplementing your body with other sources such as protein, calcium, sodium, and so forth, your body would start to consume itself, due to a lack of proper nourishment. On a psychological scale, it would cause your mind to have a whole lot of hallucinations, and anemia.

Scientist never say a theory is proven or not they only say if the evidence _____or _____ it
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>Support or contradict
In theoretical models, they are revisited when there are further studies and discoveries found in a certain area where they can be remodeled and reintegrated instead of disregarding its credibility. Models, theories and paradigms are not challenged but rather encouraged, they are supported in many studies since these theories and models were created in order for us to understand a certain phenomenon but it would likely help the scientific society to be updated in the new forms or spheres of improvement rather than discouragement.   </span>
