Answer:

Laxatives, which enhance bowel movements, are abused by the individuals who desire to lose weight and are suffering from eating disorders. Laxative abuse leads to extreme symptoms like hypokalemia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, acid-base disturbance, and weight loss.  

The majority of the laxatives are captivated by the colon and are discharged in feces or urine as metabolites. In the analysis of urine, the volume of urine gathered within a 24 hours duration is more than two liters. The level of sodium and chlorine reduces in urine and the levels of potassium will enhance in the urine.  

A change in electrolyte balance and changes in acid-base results, hypokalemia is the clinical characteristic of laxative abuse. The pH of urine will decline on the basis of the extremity of the abuse. The levels of creatinine will increase, and one can witness elevation in the secretion of renin and aldosterone because of the loss of fluid.

Ivahew [28]

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like  thousands of years ago as Limestone can contain fossilized plants and animals.

  • The types of fossils found in limestone include coral, algae, clams, brachiopods, bryozoa and crinoids.
  • Limestone is a sedimentary rock made almost entirely of fossils.
  • Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals, like an imprint in a rock or actual bones and shells that have turned into rock. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks and hold the clues to life on Earth long ago.
  • Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite; calcium carbonate. It often has variable amounts of silica in it, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand. Limestone rocks fall under the category of sedimentary rocks that are made from mineral calcite.
