A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin 500 mg in 50 ml of dextrose 5% in water (d5w) to infuse over 15 min. the drop fact

or of the manual iv tubing is 10 gtt/ml. the nurse should set the manual iv infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)

<u>Given:</u>

Volume to be infused = 50 ml

Time period = 15 min

Drop factor = 10 gtt/ml

<u>To determine:</u>

Flow rate in gtt/min

<u>Explanation:</u>

Flow rate = volume infused * drop factor/time

                = 50 ml * 10 gtt.ml-1/ 15 min = 33.33 gtt/min

Ans: Flow rate = 33 gtt/min

Many different organisms live in Amanda’s garden. The diagram shows a simple food web of some of the organisms in her garden.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The snakes keep the mice from overpopulating, which could deplete their resources.

Explanation:

The mice and the moles are not competing against each other as they feed on different food. The problem is that if the mice population is not regulated, their very quick reproduction will cause overpopulation in very short space of time. The more mice there will be , the more food will be needed, so very soon the resources will be depleted, resulting in collapse of the mice population. This is where the snakes come in action, as they eat mice, so they are the ones that control and keep their population stable, thus not allowing the mice to overpopulate the area and destroy themselves.

Students in a science class were asked to investigate how missing or damaged organelles affect cellular homeostasis for cells fo
lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.

Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.

Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.

Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.

How has waste leaving a cell affected its surface area to volume ratio?
lapo4ka [179]

The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and as volume increases, surface area to volume ratio decreases. The larger a cell, the less easily it can get rid of waste and it also has more trouble getting water, nutrients and gases in. That is why we do not see giant cells. Instead we see multiple cells in larger organisms.  

One way to increase surface area is to flatten the cell. That is why red blood cells are flat discs, instead of spheres. Another way is elongation. That is why many bacteria are rod shaped, and why neurons are elongated. In fact, the human body relies on the same principle to adapt to climate. Long tall and lean folks with long arms and legs live in East Africa, because such shapes increase surface area to get rid of excess body heat to avoid heat strokes. Europeans and Asians adapted to cold climates, in contrast, have shorter arms and legs and rounder torsos to minimize surface area. to conserve body heat.
