Tissue turgor, Neurologic status, Amount of last voiding.  
<span>Dehydration and metabolic alkalosis happens when an infant vomits for 3 days. Hydrochloric acid is lost in the vomitus. The infant will exhibit inelastic tissue turgor. Metabolic alkalosis occurs. It causes hyperreflexia, tetany, and seizures. The infant will void scanty, dark urine, indicating dehydration. The time of the last feeding and character of the vomitus are not priority assessments.</span>

How does eating influence high density lipoproteins (HDL) in the body?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: The element with the greatest influence on cholesterol levels is the fat content of food. Not only the amount of cholesterol, but also the type of fat.

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in the body, which is used to make hormones and vitamin D. The liver makes cholesterol to handle these tasks, but cholesterol can also be incorporated into the body through foods such as meat, dairy, and poultry. If you consume a lot of these, the cholesterol levels could become too high.

There are two types of cholesterol:

  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good cholesterol”. It transports     the excess of cholesterol to be expelled so<u> it wont end up in the arteries.  </u>
  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad cholesterol”.<u> It transports cholesterol to the arteries, where it may collect in artery walls.</u> This could  lead to a buildup of plaque known as atherosclerosis which can increase the risk of blood clots and if one of them breaks away and blocks an artery, it could cause a stroke or heart attack.

If there is a predominance of saturated fatty acids in the fat of the diet, a rise in serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol is caused.  To lower the bad cholesterol, you should limit foods such as milk fats, fatty meats or sausage and include more fibre in your diet.  On the other hand, <u>polyunsaturated fatty acids - for example, those present in seed oils or fish - produce their reduction. Monounsaturated fatty acids, such as those provided by olive oil, act like polyunsaturated ones and, in addition, tend to raise HDL-cholesterol, so their use entails a greater benefit.</u>

What is diffusion? Include in your explanation "area of high concentration" and "area of low concentration". Does diffusion occu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process of small molecules moving from a high concentrated area to a lower concentrated area. For example, in a crowded train station, when a train arrives, people move from the high concentrated area, which is the platform, and move onto the lower concentrated area, which is the trian.

Explanation:

The process of diffusion does not cost any energy, as it happens naturally, and would cost energy to go against it, like trying to go from the train into the platform costs more energy than just going with the crowd into the train. And only small molecules can do this without using energy. Large molecules, like starch, can't do this without using energy.(ATP) hopefully, this helped you, and it would mean a lot to me if you could give me brainliest!

The primary difference between what qualifies as serial murders and what qualifies as mass murders is the selection of victims.
maxonik [38]
I believe the appropriate answer is a cooling-off period. The cooling off period us described as the state of returning to the offender's usual way of life between homicides. The key distinction between the serial killers and mass or spree killers is this emotional cooling off period in which the killer blends back into his/her normal life.

Simply, transcription is a copy of __________
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

b. mRNA from DNA

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using a DNA template strand. The process of transcription occurs inside the nucleus in eukaryotes as their DNA is present in the nucleus.

The process includes unwinding of DNA double helix to expose the DNA template strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the specific start sites on the DNA template strand and starts making its RNA copy.

The newly formed RNA undergoes modification in eukaryotes before serving as a template for protein synthesis. However, in prokaryotes, the process of transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.
