Which of the following statements about fluid movement is NOT correct?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

b. Exchange between the plasma and the intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.

Explanation:

The body fluid can be categorized as extracellular and intracellular fluid. The fluid within cells is called intracellular fluid and the body fluid outside body cells makes the extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues.

On the other hand, the extracellular fluid present within blood vessels is termed blood plasma. Therefore, plasma and intracellular fluid can exchange material via interstitial fluid only, not directly via the cell membrane. The exchange between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.

The administration method that takes the longest time for the drug to reach the brain is __________.
photoshop1234 [79]

Oral ingestion or swallowing is the administration method that takes the longest time for the drug to reach the brain. When using this method, the drug is swallowed through the mouth, moves to the stomach and then into the bloodstream before it can be transported to the brain. This means that it takes longer for a swallowed drug to start functioning than it does with other methods of administration such as injecting.

1. What is sustainable energy? 2. How do we currently use energy in Georgia? 3. Which types of fossil fuels could / should we us
devlian [24]

1. Sustainable energy is the one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the possibility of future generations to meet their own needs for energy. This is actually an effective way of producing energy that has a little harmful effect on the environment. 

There are three conditions that some energy must satisfy in order to belong to the group: 

- ecologically: clean, renewable

- social: available for everyone  

- economic: provides at least the minimum profit

Sustainable energy includes the use of renewable energy sources such as hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, wave energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy.


2. In Georgia, the most of energy consumes transportation and industrial production is the second energy consumer in the country. There are many industrial plants that consume a lot of energy such as food and beverages, tobacco, chemical, plastics, wood, machinery and metal industry. Energy consumption by the population is almost identical to the consumption by industry.



3. We should use less coal and petroleum because they are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, like CO2 from fossil fuel combustion. Combustion of fossil fuels also produces other air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals which damage our environment.


4. We should use more solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. These sources of energy are inexhaustible and free, and the most important characteristic of the resources is that they do not pollute the environment. Also, it is a better choice to build own renewable energy facilities than import costly fuels.


5. In my area, I would propose next renewable energy sources: biomass, wind and solar power. Here, there is a flat land and during the year we have a lot of sunny and windy days. There is huge potential for producing the kinds of energy and it would be economically rentable. Also, it is a forest area with the great amount of biomass, which could collect and use for energy production instead of rotting on the ground.


6. We could do a lot of things to decrease energy consumption, starting from simple things like turning off the lights, using energy efficient light options (LED bulbs), unplugging electronics which use standby power, choosing energy-efficient items, better insulation of houses etc. Also, we could less drive own cars and use more public transport or ride bicycles.
