What is the crude mortality rate for Regionville? Regionville is a community of 100,000 persons. During 1985 there were 1,000 de
uysha [10]

Answer:

10 per 1,000.

Explanation:

The death rate and birth rate affects the population dynamics of the particular area. The birth rate increases  the population size whereas the death rate decreases the population size.

The death rate of a population can be calculated by the following formula:

Crude death rate = total death/ total population

Here, total death = 1,000 and total population = 100,000.

Crude death rate = 1,000/ 100,000 = 0.01 or  10 per 1,000.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Norepinephrine acts on the heart by _________
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. causing threshold to be reached more quickly      

Explanation:

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenalin, is an organic compound, which belongs to the catecholamine family. It acts as a hormone and a neurotransmitter in the brain and the body and also impacts the heart.

It is one of the hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla. Norepinephrine is a part of the fight-or-flight mechanism of the body. It acts by binding to the β-1 receptors and opens the chemical or ligand gated calcium and sodium ion channels. Therefore, <u>it causes the threshold to be reached faster </u>by increasing the rate of depolarization and thus causes heart arrhythmia.

Therefore, <u>Norepinephrine acts on the heart by </u><u>causing threshold to be reached faster.</u>

Describe diffusion and osmosis, as well as comparing hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Diffusion is the net movement of any substance from a higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. It is conducting by a concentration gradient.

Osmosis is a process in which solvent (molecules) pass through a semipermeable membrane (SPM) from a lower concentration solution region to a higher concentration region so it equalizes the concentrations on each side of the SPM.

A <u>hypotonic solution</u> is a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell than outside of the cell. Thus the movement of water is from outside to the inside of the cell.

A <u>hypertonic solution</u> is a solution in which solutes concentration is greater outside the cell and low concentration inside. The movement of water is from inside the cell to outside the cell.

An <u>isotonic solution</u> where two solutions having the same concentration inside and outside of the cell so there is free movement of molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
