Explanation:

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid .It is water's chemical composition and physical attributes that make it such an excellent solvent. Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules. Water can become so heavily attracted to a different compound, like salt (NaCl), that it can disrupt the attractive forces that hold the sodium and chloride in the salt compound together and, thus, dissolve it.

A dot is drawn every second to show the position of a toy car coasting up a ramp. Which statement best describes the motion of t
lbvjy [14]

It is speeding up because more distance is covered every second.

Explanation:

The car can be described to be speeding up because more distance is covered every second.

From what we understand about velocity and acceleration, the car is accelerating through the ramp.

It's velocity is increasing with every second it covers.

This will invariable reduce the time between each distance covered.

Originally, the toy car starts with a low initial velocity or speed. As it gains acceleration, the speed will increase and more distance covered per seconds.

This is why the dots clustered towards the end of the diagram. The positions are getting closer and distance reducing per seconds.

Botulism is caused by ingestion of a proteinaceous exotoxin; therefore, it can easily be prevented by
hammer [34]

Botulism can easily be prevented by boiling food prior to consumption.

<h3>What is Botulism?</h3>

Botulism may be defined as an imperative food poisoning that is provoked by botulinum toxin delivered in food by a bacterial species clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum inhibits the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction and causes defects in sensory perception through the central nervous system.

It can only be prevented by taking the proper boiled food prior to consumption.

The complete question is as follows:

  • boiling food prior to consumption.
  • administering antibiotics to patients.
  • not eating canned food.
  • filtering food.
  • preventing fecal contamination of food.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A, i.e. boiling food prior to consumption.

Mrs. Jones blood typing results showed agglutination with the plasma containing anti - B antibodies only. What is her blood type
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Mrs Jones Blood type= B type.

Safe transfusion from: B and O blood type.

Explanation:

In the given example, the anti-B antibodies are present in the donor plasma.  Since anti-B antibodies react with B antigen present on the RBCs of blood, Mrs. Jones should have B antigen on the surface of her RBCs. The blood type with only B-antigen on the RBC's surface is blood type "B".  

Hence, her blood type is "B" type which has B antigens that react with anti B antibodies of the donor plasma causing agglutination and hemolysis of RBCs.  

She can get the blood of B and O blood types. Blood type O is a universal blood type as it does not have B or A antigens on the surface of its RBCs to initiate the agglutination.
