The answer here is probably B.

It's probably not a question of units because the conversions here from C to F or K do not give the right numbers. An electronic thermometer (as with most electronic measuring devices) need to be calibrated regularly to some sort of reference point. A liquid thermometer works based on the actually physical properties of the liquid inside it, and so will always display the same values - no calibration required!

Answer:

Option B,  The electronic thermometer was not calibrated correctly.

Explanation:

Calibration is required when a relationship is to be established between a  known standard unit and a new measuring device.

Since liquid thermometer is a standard device to measure temperature of a room, it is the electronic thermometer which might have been collaborated to convert measured electric pulses into degree Celsius.

There are rare chances of a standard device showing a wrong reading and hence it is the electronic thermometer that has not been collaborated well.

Thus, option B is correct.

Answer:

1. Tertiary Care

Explanation:

Tertiary care is a specialized health care for inpatients over an extended period of time usually on referral by primary or secondary health care personnel, involving contemporary and complex procedures and treatments.

Examples include: Cancer management, complex medical and surgical procedures.

Subacute Care is defined as an inpatient care for someone who has an acute illness. It is treatment administered immediately after acute hospitalization or in some cases, in place of it to treat and provide care for people with medically complex conditions.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

B) the slow rate at which diffusion occurs over large distances.

Explanation:

The complexity of the respiratory system is direct proportional with the size of the organism. As an organism size increases, diffusion begins to take place over a larger distance and the ratio of surface area to volume is seen to decrease. In unicellular organisms, diffusion across the cell membrane is adequate for distributing oxygen to the cell unlike in multicellular organisms.

Diffusion is known to be a slow, gradual and passive transport activity. It is important that for diffusion to be a pratical way of supplying oxygen to the cell, the amount of oxygen intake must be the same as the amount of diffusion across the membrane. This implies that, if the cell happens to be very large or thick, diffusion would not serve as the best means to distribute oxygen swiftly and in the right quantitiy to the inner region of the cell.

We can say that reliance on diffusion as a tool of supplying or distributing oxygen and extracting carbon dioxide is actually attainable only for small size organisms or the ones that possess a highly-flattened bodies, e.g. flatworms (Platyhelminthes).

Thus, this accounts for why Larger organisms had to develop specialized respiratory tissues, such as gills, lungs, and respiratory passages in conjunction with a complex circulatory systems, to disburse oxygen all through their entire body and to compensate for the slow rate at which diffusion occurs over large distances.

The coyote's diet includes a wide variety of small mammals, livestock, birds, reptiles, carrion, fruit, and vegetables. It is on
stellarik [79]

Answer:

It has adapted its diet to include more variety, thereby increasing its food supply.

Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the process by which species adjust (i.e., adapt) to their environments. Coyotes adapted very well to the presence of humans, and they have adjusted their diet to what foods are available, thereby increasing their range of distribution. Coyotes are omnivores that have the ability to eat both plants (e.g., fruit, mesquite beans, flowers, etc) and animals (e.g., insects, lizards, rabbits, rodents, etc.). Moreover, coyotes can hunt small prey alone or larger prey in small groups of animals that work together to hunt down prey species.
