Why are intravenous solutions generally isotonic and not hypotonic or hypertonic what is the significance of normal saline?

1 answer:

7 0

Because it can induce osmosis.

The best solution for intravenous in most condition is isotonic because it will not upset the oncotic pressure of the blood. If you use hypertonic or hypotonic solution, the oncotic pressure can be altered and causing osmosis happen to the cell. The osmosis can cause injury to the cell as its water content will be changed.

Explain the relationship between crossing over<br> and genetic variation.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Explanation:

crossing over is a process that happens between human organs chromosome in order to increase general diversity. during crossing over part of one chromosome is exchange with another. the result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighbouring gametes after crossing over occurs. this a loss for genetic diversity which will help cell participate in survival of the fittest and the evolution.

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, $I_{min}$ = $5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}$

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

= 8.5 x $10^{-3}$ m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x $10^{-3}$ m

∴ Area of the eye, A = $\pi .r^{2}$

= $3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}$

= $5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}$

Let $P_{min}$ be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, $P_{min}$ = $I_{min}$ x A

= $5\times 10^{-13}$ x $5.6\times 10^{-5}$

= $2.8\times 10^{-17}$ W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

$N_{min}=P_{min}/E$

where E = $hc/\lambda$

= $\left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8} \right )/548\times 10^{-9}$

= $3.62\times 10^{-19} J$

Therefore, $N_{min}$ = $\frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}$

= 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

1. Compare and contrast a food chain and a food web.

tigry1 [53]

In comparison they both show feeding relationship in an ecosystem.
In contrast, a food chain is a simple linear feeding relationship while a food web is a complex feeding relationship.

2) The arrows is to show the direction of the feeding relationship
