Biology

dusya [7]2 years ago

The neonatal period is the first 4 weeks of a child's life. It is a time when changes are very rapid. Many critical events can occur in this period: Feeding patterns are established. Bonding between parents and infant begin


Before the baby is born, blood goes through the placenta to get rid of waste and to pick up oxygen and nutrients that come from the mother. The developing baby manages on relatively low oxygen levels while in the uterus. After birth the child is exposed to suddenly higher (potentially dangerous) oxygen levels

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential  to the region of low water potential through  a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.

In this present scenario  water molecules  pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.

If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)

However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney  ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT  and CT, via  anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.

What are three types of body shapes that can result from the structure of a skeleton?

The three different skeletal designs that give a body its shape are:
Hydrostatic skeleton-contraction of muscles occur for changing cooler, due to which movement is caused.
Exoskeleton-external skeleton composed of calcium carbonate and chitin
Endoskeleton-body's internal system made of hard mineralised components.
