<span>This is hypokalemia. The diuretic drug will, in this case, cause the kidneys to excrete more urine (and therefore more potassium) than usual, leading to a lowered amount in the body. By changing the dose of the diuretic, the patient can have their levels brought closer to normal.</span>
Answer:
Atoms are electrically neutral as a result of having an equal amount of positive (due to the protons) and negative (due to the electrons) charges on it.
An ion generally is an electrically unbalanced atom (i.e an atom with a net charge on it)
A negative ion called an anion is produced when an atom gains an extra electron from a neighboring atom, giving it an extra negative charge. This can be produced by ionization with a radioactive radiation or simply by dissolution.
A positive ion is called a cation and it is produced when an atom loses electron to a neighboring atom. The loss of this electron causes the positive charges to outweigh the negative charges in the atom. Cations can be produced by radioactive radiation ionization of an atom or by simple dissolution.
The subatomic particle that is negative is the 'electron'.
Answer:
C. It harms aquatic organisms
Explanation:
The hydropower is a one of the most commonly used in the world. It is based on the power of the water, and by building a dam on a river, the water is accumulated, and its power used for production of electrical energy. While this type of power has lot of advantages, like having long lifespan, being eco-friendly, and it has high efficiency, it also has some negatives about it. The biggest negative by the hydropower is that it causes harm tot he aquatic organisms. Because there is a dam built, the water becomes more stagnant, meaning that it becomes warmer, harming the organisms that are not able to adapt to it. The dam restricts the migration of the aquatic organisms, which is especially a big problem for the ones that migrate because of mating. The nutrients start to concentrate in front of the dam, while after the dam they are in very low quantity.
