Jon likes hiking. He observes that whenever he hikes up a hill he breathes heavier than when he is on flat ground. Which 2 state
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

Explanation:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.

-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.

-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.

<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>

Conventionally pasteurized milk is sterile.<br> a. True<br> b. False
spin [16.1K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Conventionally pasteurized milk is not sterile it gets sterile after it is homogenized. The process of pasteurization involves sudden heating and sudden cowling of milk which does not kills all the microorganism but is intended to kill some of the bacteria and inactivates some enzyme.

Homogenization is a completely separate process  which involve mechanical breakdown of fat molecules in the milk which increases the shelf life of milk by preventing the cream from rising at the top.

Hence, the given statement is False.

kupik [55]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Scientific paradigm</em>

Explanation:

The scientific paradigm focuses on the infection and the microorganism for the occurrence of the infection. A scientific paradigm also refers to the treatment of these infections through pharmaceutical or surgical approaches. Hence, option B is correct.

Other options, like option A, is not correct because a holistic paradigm focuses on the connection between the mind, body and the soul. Option C is false because the analytical paradigm is not a part of the major health belief system.
