Answer:

a. series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of the raw material.  

Explanation:

The term metabolism is used to describe the various chemical reactions in the body that meet the structural and energy needs of a living being.  Among the purposes of these chemical reactions, we can mention the synthesis and breakdown of biomolecules, energy production and the conversion of nutrient molecules into macromolecule precursor units.

Metabolism is not unique to humans and occurs in all living beings, whether unicellular or multicellular. The reactions that make up metabolism can be classified into two major metabolic processes: anabolism and catabolism.

The nurse places the stethoscope on the 3rd intercostal space at the left sternal border. Which area is the nurse auscultating f
miv72 [106K]

The nurses auscultated for heart sounds in the area of Erb point.

The fifth point of auscultation for the heart test, known as "Erb's point," which is occasionally given to the eminent German neurologist Wilhelm Heinrich Erb (1840–1921) without any supporting documentation, is positioned in the third intercostal gap near the sternum. At the third intercostal gap and the left lower sternal border is the auscultation location for heart sounds and heart murmurs known as Erb's point.

The spinal accessory nerve in the posterior nerve triangle is located at Erb's point (also known as the great auricular nerve) at the location where it enters the trapezius muscle. At the end of expiration, the third intercostal gap on the left (Erb's point) is often the ideal place to detect the murmur of aortic regurgitation because it is quiet, high-pitched, early diastolic and decrescendo.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

b.Movement of phospholipids in the plasma membrane from one monolayer to the other requires the polar or charged head groupd to enter the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. This process requires a large positive change in free-energy, thus making this type of movement unlikely without an input of energy

The plasma membrane serves a protective function for the cell and is a selective membrane for particles entry
