The infant is suffering from dehydration most probably from esophageal atresia (non-development of the distal side of the esophagus, forming a closed tube) or partial/complete gut obstruction. With a urine output of 250 mL constantly, the patient will be dehydrated. The infant is diagnosed with failure to thrive and is most probably malnourished (most common cause of failure to thrive in infants is preterm birth). In the presence of esophageal atresia, along with retained feedings, the patient will also present with vomiting. In the presence of partial/complete gut obstruction, the patient will also present with distension of the abdomen.
Answer:
Plants. Some Bacteria. Algae. These 3 are the photosynthetic autotrophs..
Why the others don't fit:
Athropods are hetertrophs. Not all bacteria are autotrophs. Only some protists are autotrophs.
Some chemicals increase the mutation rate, physical agents such as radiation also increase the mutation rate. There are viruses that are mutagens as well. Also, the number of mutations that an organism produce can also be phenotypically plastic.
Hope this helps. (This is the definition my bio teacher gave me.)
Species diversity hurts ecological succession. Explanation: Species diversity does not contribute for ecological succession. The diversity among the species is high at pioneer community. However as time passed competition and interaction causes a significant drop in species diversity.
While all of these statements may be true, the only one that is always true is D, the last one. Evolution is a VERY slow process, occuring over many millions of years, according to many scientists.
