The correct codes are 63267 and 69990.

The codes are given based on the lesion if it is intradural or extradural. In our case here it is extradural cystic structure so that is why it ranges between 63265 to 63268.

We also divide the section of spine depending on where the lesion is being located. Code 63267 describes laminectomy which has evacuation of intraspinal lesion which is found in the lumbar spine.

69990 code documents the use of microscope.

Many organisms that undergo chemosynthesis use ________ instead of ________ to fuel the processes that convert carbon dioxide in
Leno4ka [110]

Many organisms that undergo chemosynthesis use ________ instead of ________ to fuel the processes that convert carbon dioxide into sugars.

a. energy; sunlight

b. hydrogen sulfide (H2S); sunlight

c. sunlight; water

d. sunlight; carbohydrates

e. sunlight; sulfuric acid

Answer:

b. hydrogen sulfide (H2S); sunlight

Explanation:

Some autotrophic organisms do not use the energy of sunlight to fix the inorganic simpler substances such as CO2 into the organic sugars. These organisms perform oxidation of chemical compounds. The energy released from the oxidation of organic or inorganic chemicals is used to fix CO2 into sugars. These organisms are called chemotrophs. Some chemotrophs such as sulfur-oxidizing bacteria use H2S as a source of energy to fix CO2.
