Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
As a blood vessel, Superior vena cava carries completely digested substances that is present in the blood from upper part of the body to the heart. Blood is a fluid that transport digested food from small intestine to other parts of the human body. It also carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells and also carries carbondioxide from the cells to lungs so we can say that Superior vena cava carries completely digested materials.
The clinical manifestation which supports this conclusion is that an injury to the brachial plexus which happens during birth. Erb is termed as a paralysis of the arm which is caused by an injury on upper arm's main nerves to be specifically the C5-C6 nerves.
It arrives most commonly on shoulder dystocia when there is a difficult birth. This paralysis can resolve on its own depending on nature of the damage.
Answer:
<em>C: After 1 hour, the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3</em>
Explanation:
The degree of acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a substance is its pH. The value of pH ranges from 1 to 14 with the former being extreme acidity and the latter being extreme alkalinity while pH 7 is considered neutral.
Hence, any pH below 7 is considered acidic and above 7 is considered alkaline.
Reactions involving equal volumes of an acid and a base can end in acidic, alkaline or neutral pH depending on the strength of the acid/base involved;
- Equal volumes of strong acid with strong base will result in neutral pH
- Equal volumes of weak acid with strong base will result in alkaline pH
- Equal volume of strong acid with weak base will result in acidic pH
If substance A and B reacts with equal volume of the same acid under the same condition and the end result of A is a solution with pH of 9.2 and that of B is a pH of 8.3, it simply means substance A is a stronger base than substance B.
<em>Hence, the only outcome that supports the hypothesis that a tablet of PEPCID AC can neutralize more stomach acid than a tablet of Alka-Seltzer is that the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3 after being subjected to the same condition.</em>
If an indigestion is due to excess stomach acid, the only way to reduce the acidity is to consume a substance that will decrease the degree of acidity in the stomach. This means that the patient will need to consume something that is alkaline in order to increase the pH.
Whales play an important role in stabilizing the aquatic food chain and reproduction of other species.
As more whales are killed the food distribution in the ocean becomes destabilized and causes changes in the food supply of many other kinds of marine life.
Whales are vital to the food chain, stabilising food flow and maintaining a healthy ocean.
As such, the rapidly decreasing whale population will have major effects on the ocean's ecosystem.
Believe it or not, whale poop also serves quite an important purpose to the ecosystem.
