A surfactant is a chemical that disrupts hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions, letting normally hydrophobic things dissolve in w

erica [24]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

A good surfactant is going to have a hydrophilic head and a long hydrophobic tail. As a result, a surfactant molecule contains both an insoluble water (or an oil-soluble component) and a water-soluble component. Surfactant molecules will migrate to the surface of the water, where the insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk phase of the water, either into the air or, if the water is mixed with oil, into the oil Phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase. This alignment and aggregation of surfactant molecules at the surface is intended to alter the surface properties of water at the water / air or water / oil interface.

The chief operational officer (coo) interviews a nurse and asks, "tell me about your practical experiences in clinical decision
Natasha2012 [34]

The best example the nurse could answer in this interview would be the concept of triaging. Triaging is the best example since a clinical decision making must be made as to who among all the patients must be given the most priority. A lot of factors can play in triaging which is why it requires a lot of clinical decision making.

stira [4]
A decreased pH coupled with a decreased plasma concentration of bicarbonate ion indicates that acidosis is occurring and the respiratory system will compensate for this change.  
<span>Acidosis (metabolic) is a state when increased acidity in the blood occurs and it usually refers when arterial pH falls below 7.35. Metabolic acidosis may result from increased production of metabolic acids (lactic, for example) and is characterized by low pH, low blood HCO3, and normal or low PaCO2. Metabolic acidosis is compensated with an increased exhalation of CO2 to reduce metabolic acid.</span>

The following anatomical features of the small intestine function to increase the surface area of the intestinal wall and maximi
natulia [17]

Answer:

1) Circular Folds

2) Villi

3) Microvilli.

Explanation:

Small intestine is one of the most important organ of the body and plays n important role in the process of digestion. The dedenum, jejenum and ileum are the parts of small intestine.

The small intestine has villi that helps in increasing the surface area for digestion and absorption. The circular folds has the highest diameter and large in the structure than the villi and microvilli. Microvilli has the smallest structure among the  villi and microvilli.

Thus, the order are option (c), (b) and (a).

Understand how and why heredity increases the diversity among organisms
Tcecarenko [31]
Heredity increases diversity among organisms by nonrandom mating, which is the preference of the organism to mate with another based on specific characteristics. Nonrandom mating has two forms. Inbreeding is the first form where organisms with the same genotypes will mate with each other resulting in minimal genetic diversity. Outbreeding is the second form where organisms of different genotypes will mate with each other resulting in an increase in genetic diversity. The variation in the heredity of an organism allows it to be more flexible and can also guarantee better survival rate of the population under the given environmental conditions.
