Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, a virus.

Explanation:

It is clearly mentioned in the question, that the blood is filtered via a porous substance, which restricts all the cells to pass through it, thus, of the mentioned options the only virus is a component, which is not a cell, while all the other mentioned things are formed of cells.  

Viruses are not formed of cells, they do not possess the tendency to maintain themselves in a steady condition, and they cannot grow and even cannot produce their own energy. Though they can adapt and replicate on the basis of their surroundings. Hence, the viruses are more like androids in comparison to the real living species.  

A viral disease takes place when the body of an organism gets invaded by the pathogenic viruses, and the infectious particles of viruses get combined with and enter the vulnerable cells. The host shows the symptoms of the illness after some days of invasion when the virus starts to proliferate.

Which of the following does NOT help increase conversion of short-term to long-term memories?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Memory consolidation

Explanation:

Short term memory is stored in the brain for relatively short period of time especially for few minutes. Long term memory is stored in brain for long period ( years or lifetime).

Short term memory can be converted into the long term memory by association, rehearsal and involved with emotional state. Memory consolidation is the process of learning new things and store them in previously stored memories. Hence, memory consolidation does not increase the conversion of short memory to long term memory.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

You are unable to collect capillary blood from the finger of a child who has cold hands that appear bluish. What term is used to
HACTEHA [7]

Cyanotic is the term used to describe the colour of the child's skin in the documentation of failure to collect a specimen.

Cyanosis is characterized by a shift in the colour of human tissues to a bluish-purple tone. This colour change occurs as a consequence of reduced levels of oxygen being attached to the haemoglobin in the RBCs of the capillary bed. The lips, mucous membranes, nail beds, and ear lobes are among the most common areas on the body to exhibit cyanosis as these areas have thinner layers of skin than other parts of the body. In addition to cyanosis, a bluish discolouration of the skin tissue can be caused due to the consumption of food products with blue or purple dyes.

Use a diagram to show how ions are formed
shepuryov [24]

Ions are formed when an atom gains or lose electron during a chemical reaction.

<h3>How ions are formed?</h3>

Ions are formed by the addition of electrons or the removal of electrons from an atoms or molecules by the combination of ions with other particles. Ions formation occurs during covalent bond formation and ionic bond formation between different molecules. Those substances that gains electron bears positive ion while on the other hand, those elements  that lose electron forms negative ion or charge on the atom.

So we can conclude that ions are formed when an atom gains or lose electron during a chemical reaction.
