Answer:
After constructing a prototype of the device, the student concludes that in many regions the monetary cost of building and installing the device would be higher than the cost of acquiring water from other sources. Which of the following would be most appropriate for the student to do next?
redesign the device without the solar panel so that it plugs into an electrical outlet
Explanation:
Because of cost implication, the device is redesigned in order to use other source rather than water which would be cost-effective and generally accepted for use.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is C) It does not depend on insect pollination.</em>
Explanation:
Angiosperms can simply be described as the plants which produce flowers whereas gymnosperms are the plants which do not produce flowers.
Both, the gymnosperms and the angiosperms, are capable of producing seeds. However, the seeds of the angiosperms are enclosed in an ovary. The seeds of gymnosperms are not enclosed.
<u><em>One of the major differences between gymnosperms and angiosperms is that the angiosperms have to depend on animals for pollination. On the other hand, the seeds of gymnosperms are spread through the wind and are pollinated.</em></u>
Answer:
The two major differences lies in the function and support system.
Explanation:
The two major differences between an endocrine and an exocrine system are as follows –
a) An endocrine system releases its produce (hormones) into the connective tissue i.e blood while the exocrine system releases hormones directly into the ducts so that it could reach the targeted tissue directly.
For example – the Adrenal gland is an endocrine gland that secretes adrenaline directly into the blood. The salivary gland is an exocrine gland that releases its produce into the collecting duct leading to mouth. However, Pancreas is both endocrine and exocrine gland.
b) The endocrine system cannot work alone therefore it works in coordination with the nervous system to control actions and balance the body. However, the exocrine system works independently

<u>A 22-year-old patient with a history of iv drug abuse arrives at the clinic complaining of fever, night sweats, and weight loss. the physician suspects </u><u>acquired immune deficiency syndrome</u><u> an infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus.</u>
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or AIDS is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV wherein it attacks the body's immune system mainly the lymphocytes, specifically the helper T-cells which mainly promotes the differentiation of B cells into plasma cells. With a low helper T-cell count, there will be increased risk for other infectious diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.
<u>A patient is diagnosed with heart failure. during assessment, the patient's feet show an abnormal accumulation of fluid, a condition known as </u><u>edema</u><u>. </u>
Edema is the accumulation of fluid to the interstitial space. In a patient with heart failure, there is edema of the feet as a result of increased filtration of the plasma due to the increased capillary hydrostatic pressure brought about by the pooling of blood to the systemic circulation as a result of right-sided heart failure. In left sided heart failure, pooling of blood is in the pulmonary circulation causing pulmonary edema.
<u>Brittany E., a college freshman, tells her roommate that she has a sore throat, tiredness, fever, and swollen neck glands. Brittany's roommate encourages her to go to the college infirmary, where the nurse suspects </u><u>infectious mononucleosis</u><u>, an acute infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.</u>
Infectious mononucleosis is a diseases characterized by sore throat, fatigue, fever, and prominent cervical lymphadenopathy caused by Epstein-Barr virus or EBV. Infectious mononucleosis is common among people in the teenage group as this is mostly transmitted by kissing (hence called as the kissing disease). EBV infection also predisposes the patient into developing nasopharyngeal carcinoma, especially if untreated.
<u>A 73-year-old patient is admitted from a longterm care facility with fever and chills. blood cultures identify the presence of Escherichia coli. the physician diagnoses </u><u>septicemia</u><u>, also known as a blood infection.</u>
Septicemia is the systemic inflammatory response with consequential tissue damage in the background of severe systemic infection, especially in the blood. The presence of E. coli in blood cultures confirms the presence of bacteria in the blood causing sepsis. Sepsis can proceed to septic shock, with signs such as low blood pressure and cold, clammy extremities, which can lead to death if untreated.
<u>Kate S. is brought to the emergency department by her husband because she has had a fever for the past 3 days. blood specimens are drawn and her white blood cell count is elevated. the physician asks the laboratory staff to perform a(n) differential count to determine the distribution of white blood cells.</u>
A differential count is a component of complete blood count wherein it aims to determine the distribution of different kinds of white blood cells. The different kinds of white blood cells are neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes. The percentages of differential count will determine whether the infection is acute/bacterial (neutrophil predominant), chronic/viral (lymphocyte predominant), allergic (presence of eosinophils and/or basophils), etc.
