Explanation:  It is a type of poisoning that occurs when a person takes too much of digoxin . Digoxin toxicity is life threatening. The most common symptoms are gastrointestinal and include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea etc. Cardiac arrests are most concerning. It blocks the sodium/potassium ATPase pump. It also causes hyperkalemia. The potassium or sodium ATPase causes sodium to leave cells, allowing potassium to enter, which results in higher serum potassium levels.

using the food web, describe two complete food chains that include a ptoducer, consumer, and descomposer.​
Damm [24]

Answer:

A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.

A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.

Example of two food chains in a food web are :

Example No 1:

Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria

Example No 2:

Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria

In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.

In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.

Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.
