Answer:

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world. ... The ridge has an average spreading rate of about 2.5 centimetres (1 in) per year.

HELP! What happens to an object's mass as the object's acceleration increases but the force stays the same?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The mass decreases

Explanation:

As the acceleration of an object increases, and the force stays the same, the mass decreases in retrospect.

This is because of newton's second law of motion which posits that, "force is the product of mass and acceleration".

In a body, acceleration and mass are inversely proportional to one another. As the mass increases, acceleration reduces and vice versa.

Question 2 the nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving diphenhydramine. the nurse notes that the patient has not voided f
Delvig [45]
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an H1-antagonist, with unfortunate anti-cholinergic side effects: dry mouth (xerostomia), dry eyes (xerophthalmia), and also including urinary hesitancy and inability to void.
I would presume to think that the next best action would be to evaluate the bladder for bladder distension.
If overly distended, then a urinary (foley) catheterization may be warranted to void the patient. However, ordering a Foley first may be an unnecessary, uncomfortable, and likely painful procedure.
After examining the bladder externally (suprapubically), then fluids may be warranted.

explain the absorption of amino acids, monosaccharides, and fatty acids from substances in the small intestine
sattari [20]

Answer: Amino acids and monosaccharides enter the cell through facilitated diffusion, and fatty acids are transformed to chylomicrons in the cell.

Explanation:

To understand how humans obtain energy from their environment, one has to understand some basic concepts:

1. Humans ingest foods that tend to be polymers, meaning that the macromolecules are organized in more complex structures and can’t be absorbed directly.

2. Our gastrointestinal tract is a specialized arrangement of organs that are in charge of digesting these polymers to smaller molecules, called monomers, that the cells lining the intestinal tract (enterocytes) can absorb.

The polymers that we obtain from the environment are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, while the monomer that can be absorbed are amino acids, monosaccharides, and fatty acids, respectively.

Polymer digestion begins in the oral cavity, since saliva has some enzymes that can start this process (i.e: amylase, which is an enzyme that cleaves carbohydrates).

Afterwards, in the stomach, acidic chyme assist to breakdown all food element that are polymers. Additionally, some specialized cells that line the stomach cavity release proteolytic enzymes to cleave proteins (i.e. pepsinogen → pepsin. The active enzyme is pepsin, but in the cell it is stored as a zymogen, an inactive enzyme, so it does not affect the cell. The zymogen is activated when it is released in the stomach cavity).

In the first part of the small intestine, called duodenum, the food bolus will be exposed to bile and pancreatic juice, which will continue to aid the breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates. Additionally bile salts will act as act as emulsifiers, producing micelles which are more readily digested by pancreatic enzymes (lipase) into fatty acids that may be absorbed by the cells forming the lining of the gut.

In humans, dimples (D) are dominant over no dimples (d). Curly hair (A) is dominant over
jeyben [28]

Answer:

1. ddaa

2. DdAa

3. One from each parent

4. False

5. 0.25

6. 0.25

7. 0.25

8. 0.5

Explanation:

The remaining part of the question is  

1. What is Jane's genotype?  

2. What is Paul’s genotype?  

3. Where did Jane get her gene for curly hair? From her mother or father?  

4. True or False: Jane's mother was heterozygous for curly hair?

5. What fraction of Paul and Jane's children should have curly hair and dimples?  

6. What fraction of their children would have straight hair and no dimples?  

7. What fraction should have dimples but not curly hair?  

8. What is the probability of getting any offspring with dimples

Solution

1. Genotype of Jane's mother -ddaa

2. Genotype of Paul (heterozygous for dimples and curly hair) – DdAa

3. One “a” gene from mother (whose genotype for hair was aa) and second “a”gene from father (whose genotype was  Aa)

4. False.  She was having straight hair

5. Offspring of  Paul and Jane  

DdAa (4), Ddaa (4), ddAa(4) and ddaa (4)

4 out of 16 offspring will have curly hair and dimples = 0.25

6. ddaa, 4/16 = 0.25

7. Ddaa , 4/16 = 0.25

8. Ddaa, DdAa, 8/16 = 0.5
