Answer:
Explanation:
a.
The individual should be diagnosed for hypertension or high blood pressure.
b.
It is recommended that the patient should take low sodium diet because when sodium or salt enters the blood stream it increases the amount of water or fluids in the blood stream that leads to rise in blood pressure. The blood pressure increases if we take high salt diet due to which arterioles constrict.
c.
Diuretics- Diuretics are the first recommended therapy in treating hypertension. Diuretics such as thizides , pottasium sparing agents. Thiazide acts on distal convoluted tubule that inhibits Na+ and Cl - symporter. Diutetic removes water from body as urine and loss of salt.
Beta blockers - These are antagonists. They block the beta receptors found on the target cell membrane. Beta blockers slows down blood pressure. Atenolol is the beta blocker used for hypertension.
Alpha1 blocker - alpha 1 receptors helps in smooth muscle contraction and vasoconstriction. Vasodilator increases blood flow in the body that are devoid of oxygen that helps to reduce blood pressure.
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor - blocks angiotensin converting enzyme that prevents converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II and increases bradykinin levels in the body. These inhibitors helps in lowering blood pressure.

. Why is Gandhi giving advice or comfort to Dr. King in this cartoon?
Answer:
Explanation:
Gandhi who was assassinated about 20 years before King, is telling King all that happens when they kill your body is that what you have stood for and what you have left behind for your followers lives long after your death. Not to worry is the message: all will come out well when the methods you have used sink in to the leaders and followers you have left behind.
All that happens is that those who oppose you enough to kill you will think you are dead: you are not. Your legacy becomes stronger and stronger.

Which effect would you expect a Species Survival Plan to have on the crested
toad population in Puerto Rico?
A. Scientists reintroducing crested toads into the wild
B. Most of the crested toads dying out
C. Invasive species outcompeting crested toads in the wild
D. Most of the crested toad habitat being destroyed
SUBMIT
The correct answer is A. Scientists reintroducing crested toads into the wild.
Explanation
Species Survival Plan is a conservation program promoted by conservationists and zoologists that specializes in those animals that are near extinct, endangered, or threatened. This program mainly aims to breed these species in captivity to ensure their future preservation and reintroduction to nature. According to the above, the effect that could be expected from the implementation of the Species Survival Plan in Puerto Rico with the crested toads would be the reintroduction of this species into the wild after being bred in captivity.
An organism that creates its own food is called:
A) a producer
B)a consumer
C)a carnivore
D) a decomposer
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Answer:
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.

Explanation:
4. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is impermeable to ions. How does this fit with what
you've learned about membrane structure? Why is this important to cellular respiration?
Answer:
The inner mitochondrial membrane contains proteins involved in the electron transport chain. This chain releases energy that is then used to generate an electrochemical gradient, which is subsequently used to synthesize ATP
Explanation:
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles that have an inner membrane separated from an outer membrane by the intermembrane space. Moreover, the mitochondrial matrix is located within the inner membrane. The inner mitochondrial membrane contains proteins involved in the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis. Oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain) is the third stage of cellular respiration in aerobic organisms in which ATP is generated by transferring electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2 by a series of electron carriers located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The trans-membrane complexes of electron carriers are multiprotein enzyme complexes (I–V) and electron carriers (i.e., coenzyme Q10 and cytochrome c) required for the communication between complexes. The electron transport chain is coupled to proton transfer from the matrix out to the intermembrane space, thereby generating a proton gradient which is then used by ATP synthases to synthesize ATP.

Explanation:
______ function mainly in cellular movement
O Microtubules
O Microfilaments
O intermediate filaments
Answer: Microtubules function mainly in cellular movement.
Microtubules are responsible for a variety of cell movements, including the intracellular transport and positioning of membrane vesicles and organelles, the separation of chromosomes at mitosis, and the beating of cilia and flagella.Microtubules are filamentous intracellular structures that are responsible for various kinds of movements in all eukaryotic cells. Microtubules are involved in nucleic and cell division, organization of intracellular structure, and intracellular transport, as well as ciliary and flagellar motility.Natural selection was acting on the population of radish plants. Which of the following DOES NOT satisfy a condition of natural selection as it relates to our radish populations?
a. there was a purple phenotype and a white phenotype
b. the R allele produced a white plant, and rr produced purple plants
c. competition was affecting the reproductive success of at least one of the morphs
d. our populations of radishes were small
e. all of the above are examples of conditions necessary and sufficient for evolution by natural selection
Answer:
d. our populations of radishes were small
Explanation:
Natural selection is a type of evolution that allows only individuals with favorable characteristics and better adapted to the environment to survive and reproduce offspring with the same favorable characteristics. In this case, to observe a population where natural selection is taking place, population sizes can be disregarded, as this is not a condition for natural selection to take place. However, the other conditions presented in the response options are necessary for natural selection, since it is necessary that there are different phenotypes and genotypes in the population and that competition between them promotes the survival of one group at the expense of the other.

five characteristics of harmattan
The Harmattan is a season in West Africa, which occurs between the end of November and the middle of March. It is characterized by the dry and dusty northeasterly trade wind, of the same name, which blows from the Sahara Desert over West Africa into the Gulf of Guinea.[1] The name is related to the word haramata in the Twi language.[2] The temperature is cold in most places, but can also be hot in certain places, depending on local circumstances.[3]

In this season the subtropical ridge of high pressure stays over the central Sahara Desert and the low-pressure Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) stays over the Gulf of Guinea. On its passage over the Sahara, the harmattan picks up fine dust and sand particles (between 0.5 and 10 microns). It is also known as the "doctor wind", because of its invigorating dryness compared with humid tropical air.
Explanation:
Harmattan is a season in west Africa.

What mechanism prevents or slows some chemicals from entering the brain, while allowing others to enter?
Answer:
The blood brain barrier blocks chemicals from entering brain tissue.
Explanation:
Write down a mechanism for increasing genetic variation in BOTH eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Answer:
Genetic variation mechanisms are different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, Transformation, transduction, and conjugation in prokaryotes whereas crossing over, random assortment, and random fertilization in eukaryotes.
Prokaryotes:
Prokaryotic cells can lead to genetic variation by recombining their genetic material. In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), in which gene transfer from one organism to another in the same generation. The three most common ways of HGT are transformation, conjugation, and transduction.
Eukaryotes:
Eukaryotic organisms can perform either sexual and asexual or both reproduction in which they are able to transfer genetic material (DNA) to their offsprings. Such transfer of genetic material process is called vertical gene transfer. In sexually reproducing organisms, independent assortment during zygote formation, a mutation in genes, and crossing over during prophase 1 in meiosis is the process that increases the chances of genetic variation.

What is the answer for this
Answer:
Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, melosis, or both mitosis and melosis.
Answer:
This question is incomplete as it lacks statements, the statements and the answers are as follows:
occurs in organisms that sexually reproduce - MEIOSIS
occurs during growth and development - MITOSIS
the DNA is replicated - MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS
occurs in all organisms - MITOSIS
the number of chromosomes remains the same - MITOSIS
the number of chromosomes reduces by half - MEIOSIS
Explanation:
Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cellular divisions that occur in living cells. Mitosis involves the formation of two (2) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis involves the formation of four (4) daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.
The following are characteristics of the two division processes based on this question:
MITOSIS:
- It occurs during growth and development of an organism.
- it involves DNA replication
- it occurs in all organisms since every living organism undergoes growth and development.
- the number of chromosomes after mitosis remains the same in the daughter cell i.e. 2n remains 2n
MEIOSIS:
- It occurs only in organisms that sexually reproduce.
- it also involves the replication of DNA
- The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half i.e. 2n to n.

When comparing energy and chemicals in an ecosystem?
Answer:
Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun.
