A)
size = (number of minor spaces x 10μm) / number of ocular spaces
       = (2 x 10) / 1
       = 20μm

b)Since the RBC has a size of 8μm and the bacterium 20μm, the bacteria is bigger. The Bacterium is bigger than the RBC by 20μm / 8μm
Hence the bacterium is 2.5 times bigger than the RBC.

lisabon 2012 [21]
I think the nurse should asses the blood pressure, skin color, and moisture. Sinus bradycardia may be defined as a sinus rhythm with resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less. However few patients become symptomatic until their heart rate drops to less than 50 beats per minute. Intervention for sinuses bradycardia should be based on assessment of the clients condition. The patient may remain asymptomatic, the nurse may choose to increase the IV flow rate, administer atropine, or notify the Rapid Response Team depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Vikki [24]
Mutation causes change in an organisms DNA, resulting in a change in all aspects of the organisms life. It affects how the organism looks, and how it behaves. If there was no mutation, an organism could not change, therefore there wouldn't be evolution at all.

Digiron [165]
The key evolutionary development of animals seen for the first time in sponges is that of Multicellularity.    A Multicellular organism has a longer lifespan than an unicellular organism and since it has multiple cells, it can perform more functions.  Sponges do not have distinct circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems – instead the water flow system  supports all these functions.
