3 0

Answer:

There are 6 of these...

Law of Superposition

The geologic principle that states that in horizontal layers of sedimentary rock, each layer is older than the layer above it and younger than the layer below it.

Principle of Original Horizontality

The geologic principle that states that sediments are deposited as essentially horizontal beds.

Principle of Lateral Continuity

The geologic principle that states that strata originally extended in all directions until it thinned out to zero or ended against the edges of another structure or deposit.

Principle of Cross-cutting Discontinuities

The geologic principle that states that any discontinuity that cuts across a stratum must have formed after that stratum.

Law of Inclusions

The geologic principle that states that any piece of rock that has become included in another rock or body of sediment must be older than the rock or sediment into which it has been incorporated.

Law of Faunal Succession

The geologic principle that states that sedimentary rocks that contain fossils succeed each other in specific and reliable order.

Complete the following statement. Cellulose and amylose are ________. 1,4' linked polymers of D-glucose which differ in the ster
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 1,4' linked polymers of D-glucose which differ in the stereochemistry of this linkage.

Explanation:

Cellulose and amylose are both polysaccharides and polymers of glucose (which means that they are composed of glucose molecules). While cellulose is mostly found on the cell wall of plants and algae, amylose (along with amylopectin) form the main carbohydrate in humans' diets: starch.

While the glucose molecules in <u>amylose are linked by α(1-4) glycosidic bonds</u>, the glucose molecules in <u>cellulose have β(1-4) glycosidic bonds</u>. This particularity is what makes amylose and cellulose compounds differ from one another.

Based on the anatomical and physiological differences between an infant and an​ adult, which finding would suggest respiratory d
frosja888 [35]

Answer: Excessive movements of the walls of the  abdomen

Basically babies belly breathe, that is they undergo abdominal pattern of respiration( instead of the abdomino- thoracic pattern in  adult), through their abdomen.

<u>This is because,  their thoracic walls are not fully functional to undergo  the normal adult mechanisms  of breathing</u>.

<u>The ribs are short in length due to incomplete ossification. They curve out wards, at low angle, their sternum, is shaped horizontally.</u>

These features reduce the activities   of the inter coastal muscles and the thoracic cage  in the mechanism of  infants breathing,compare to the long ribs, obliquely shaped rib cage,  with lower  sternum  of  adult which  permit the  abdominal-thoracic  breathing pattern.

Therefore ,when the diaphragm distends during breathing ,its movement pushes the organs of the abdomen down; because infants have rapid respiratory  rates, the distends created  rapid  expansion and contraction of the walls of the abdomen to gain enough abdominal pressure.

This together with the movement of  organs of the abdomen   from  the  pathways of diaphragm  created the  excessive  movements of the abdominal walls. This rapid abdominal wall movements creates discomfort and distress for the infant during this mechanisms.
