Answer: Diagnosis: The presence of nitrites in the urine confirms the urinary tract infection.

Explanation:

Treatment: The urinary tract infection will be concerned with the antibiotic therapy to kill the bacteria producing excess nitrites. Educating K.N. about the risk factors associated with the multiple sex partners and transfer of bacteria through sexual contact.

Use of fluroquinolones and nitrofurantoin:

Fluroquinolones: This is an antibiotic which has bacteriocidal property can be useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections.

Nitrofurantoin: It is an effective antibiotic in killing bacteria it gets activated inside the bacteria.

Nitrituria is a condition in which the nitrites are present in the urine that is indicative of the presence of bacterial infection. It is caused by the <em>E. coli</em> bacteria inside the urinary tract. It is responsible for converting the nitrates into nitrites.

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

The Na/⁺K⁺ pump is an ATPase pump which is responsible for maintaining low Na⁺ and high K⁺ concentrations within the cytoplasm while maintaining high Na⁺ and low K⁺ concentrations in the extracellular fluid.

Since these two ions are moved against their concentration gradient, ATP hydrolysis is required to provide the energy for this process. This is done by moving in two K⁺ ions  inside while moving three Na⁺ ions outside the cell for every molecule of ATP hydrolysed to ADP and Pi.

If a competitive non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP is applied on the cytoplasmic side of a plasma membrane that contained a large concentration of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump, it will act by inhibiting the action of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump. This will result in an accumulation of Na⁺ ions inside the cell and lower than normal K⁺ ions concentration.

Which physical factor, related to the formation of severe weather, has to do with the amount of water vapor in the air?
lord [1]
Increase in temperature. I am not exactly sure what you're looking for but basically water vapour in the air has to do with evaporation of water from the surroundings so it will definitely have to do with the increase in global temperatures brought by global warming
