The infant is at risk of botulism due to this method of medication administration. Botulism is a rare and sometimes fatal disease, which is caused by a toxin produced by a bacterium. The disease can be caused by the consumption of foods that contain the toxin or the spores of the bacteria. In order to prevent the disease, proper food preparation is needed. Children under 12 months old are more vulnerable to this disease since they have not yet developed the appropriate defence mechanisms. Honey is a type of food that could contain this bacterium, therefore children under 12 months should not consume honey.

<span>The 8 month old infant is at risk for an allergic reaction. You should never give a child under the age of one any honey. The nurse should inform the parent that giving honey to a child under the age of one is dangerous and can cause an allergic reaction.</span>

The lymphatic capillaries function to absorb the excess protein-containing interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The lymphatic capillaries have the role to drain extracellular fluid, more precisely the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Lymph capillaries process the interstitial fluid, collect  it together with the white blood cells and form a lymph. Formed lymph is then transported into a lymphatic vessel, which is connected to a lymph node. Lymph is at the end returned to the venous circulation.

The ionic group coo- on succinate forms bonds with the succinate dehydrogenase
Dmitriy789 [7]

At neutral pH, the ionic group COO- on succinate makes bonds with the active site of succinate dehydrogenase. This bonding is required for succinate oxidation.

<h3>What is succinate oxidation?</h3>

In the Krebs cycle , succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate, with the resulting electrons being supplied to respiratory chain complex III to decrease oxygen and produce water.

SDH oxidizes succinate to fumarate during the citric acid cycle. SDH is structurally similar to fumarate reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes the opposite process during anaerobic respiration in bacteria.

Suppose you have identified a type of lizard that seems to have acquired a mutation in which hindlimbs are absent. Which gene, a
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Sonic Hedgehog.

Explanation:

Sonic hedgehog is a secreted protein that in humans is encoded by the SHH gene. It is the best studied ligand of the hedgehog signaling pathway, others being desert hedgehog (DHH) and Indian hedgehog (IHH). It plays a key role in the development of animals, from insects to mammals. In vertebrates, it is involved in organogenesis, including the growth of digits on limbs and the organization of the brain.

Sonic hedgehog has also been shown to act as an axonal guidance cue. It has been demonstrated that SHH attracts commissural axons at the ventral midline of the developing spinal cord. Specifically, SHH attracts retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons at low concentrations and repels them at higher concentrations
