The process by which bacteria in soil and water oxidize ammonia and ammonium ions and form nitrites and nitrates. Because the nitrates can be absorbed by more complex organisms, as by the roots of green plants, nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle .

A nurse is caring for a client who just had a gastrectomy. what should the nurse emphasize when teaching the client how to avoid
Nimfa-mama [501]
The nurse should tell the patient to eat small meals with low carbohydrate and moderate fat content. This is because small meals with low carbohydrate, moderate fat, and high protein are recommended; these are processed more readily and avoid rapid stomach emptying. Rest, not activity, after meals assists in limiting dumping syndrome. Fluid intake with meals should be in moderation. Fluids with meals cause rapid emptying of the food from the stomach into the jejunum before it is sufficiently subjected to the digestive process; the hyperosmolar mixture causes a fluid shift to the jejunum. A high-Fowler position will not reduce the risk of dumping syndrome.

Explain how body symmetry is related to the phylogeny of animals.
Blizzard [7]

Do not worry so much about the why of classification. Classification is important because it is a lens through which to see what is there. It is not intrinsically true in and of itself. Distinctions are important only as vehicles for a common base of communication. All things have symmetry. A reflection has symmetry. Symmetry means organized life. Organized life is what happens when RNA replicates. It is the difference between chaos and order
