Biology
1 answer:
notsponge [240]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer would be Hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. Just some background info, this is located in the cell membrane and the cell membrane is made of up something called the Lipid Bilayer. The word "bi" means 2, so it comprise of 2 layers of phospholipids. These 2 layers of phospholipids are called hyrodrohpbic and hydrophilic. The word "phobic" means fear, so they hydrophobic molecules are NOT attracted to water. Hydrophilic molecules, however, ARE attracted to the molecules.

Hope this helps!

What is the best way to increase the solubility of something?
Virty [35]
The answer is <span>c. A and B are both correct

The solubility of some solid depends on temperature. Increased temperature of a solution will increase the kinetic energy of molecules in the solution. Solvent molecules will effectively break apart solute molecules. By breaking them apart, the surface area of solute molecules increases, too. Grinding the material will also break apart solvent molecules and increase their surface area. Increased surface area enables more solute molecules to interact with solvent molecules and the reaction rate increases.
Imagine if sugar will better dissolve in cold or hot water and also if icing sugar or granulated sugar will better dissolve.
Therefore, both increasing the temperature and grinding the material are important to increase the solubility of something.</span>

When a client develops a fever on the first postoperative day, the LPN/LVN auscultates rales bilaterally in the lower lobes. The
Zinaida [17]

The LPN/LVN must be suspecting post operative atelectasis.

Explanation:

Post operative fever in a patient is a common symptom but rales are mostly associated with blocking of air passage. And this blocking of air passage is a common symptom of atelectasis.

Moreover, atelectasis is common in patients who have undergone major surgeries under anesthesia.

Anesthesia changes the rate of lung intake so resulting in collapse of few alveoli.

Thus, it is more probable for the nurse to suspect the development of atelectasis.
