<span>Fat is by far the most calorie loaded of the macronutrients, containing 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram for proteins and carbohydrates. Although a low fat diet is generally desirable for persons who would like to restrict their caloric intake, a no fat diet is no recommended by nutritionists or doctors since there is a dietary need for some fat in the diet.</span>

Hitman42 [59]

The right answer is facilitated diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is a diffusion mechanism facilitated by membrane transporters. it's the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions (like the passive diffusion) through a biological membrane through transport molecules (unlike passive diffusion). This process does not consume energy (like the passive diffusion) and therefore does not involve active transportation.

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Head injuries may be penetrating head injury or closed head injury.

A major concern for health professionals regarding intracranial injuries resulting from closed head traumas, is the management of intracranial pressure. Elevated intracranial pressure have negative effects on the brain and immediate management of raised intracranial pressure is important to avoid cerebral edema, intracranial hematoma, brain herniation and even death.

The usual procedures in the management of head injury include elevating the head to about 30 degrees. This position promotes cerebral venous drainage and decreases intracranial venous pressure and intracranial pressure as well.

This is helpful because when the patient is left in the horizontal position, the intracranial pressure becomes significantly higher and the have fatal consequences.

Describe a DNA mutation and how it can affect an offspring.
Greeley [361]
A DNA mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. DNA mutations can affect an offspring can result in abnormal protein products. Mutations can also introduce new alleles into a population of organisms and increase the population's genetic variation.
