Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.

Which of the following represents organisms in a food chain?
Lisa [10]

Answer: c seeds, mice, snakes

Explanation:

<u>a hawks, owls, eagles NO</u>

These animals all eat some form of meat, and they are on the top of all of their food chains. If you put these animals in a room with no food, there'd be no food chain, and they would got out at each other until there was one left, and there'd be no advatanges because 1. they can all fly and 2. they are all top consumers. The same thing goes for D except hyenas can't fly.

<u>b deer, rabbits, cows NO</u>

This is not a food chain because all of the animals are herbivore, so they only eats plants and will not eat each other.

<u>c seeds, mice, snakes YES</u>

The seeds are a producer which is to be eaten by a consumer (the mouse), and which are then eaten by the predator, the snake.

<u>d hyenas, vultures, crows NO</u>

aev [14]

Answer:

The gametophyte is green and nutritionally independent in mosses, liverworts, and fern.

Explanation:

The gametophyte is the sexual stage of growth in plants and algae.

During this stage, there is production of reproductive organs which produce sex cells.

During this stage, the gametophyte is independent since it relies fully on itself for food production.

The presence of chlorophyll enables this independence.

The gametophyte produces its own food through photosynthesis.
