The nurse should say that the compressive dressing over the residual limb or the stump this prevents the swelling of the stump. Compression of the limb is an effective way to reduce edema (or the accumulation of fluid in the interstitium) since this promotes lymphatic drainage of the fluid from the interstitium.

Which of the following are characteristics of archaeal cell membranes that probably help them survive at very high temperatures?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option-B, C and E

Explanation:

Archaebacteria are a group of prokaryotes which can survive the extreme conditions. The archaebacteria which can survive very high temperature are called hyperthermophiles. The hyperthermophilic bacteria can survive temperature range between 70 t 125 °C observed in hydrothermal vents.

The archaea bacteria can withstand the high temperature as their membrane is adaptive. The membrane of the archaea is more stable due to the ether linkage which makes carbon less chemically reactive. The phospholipids possess a monolayer which decreases the layer fluidity and thus the unwanted movement of molecules.

The archaea also contain cyclopentane rings in the ester-linked phospholipids which allows tight pacing of the molecules which decrease the movement of solute into and out of the cell.

Thus, the selected options are correct.
