(the cellulose molecule) will continue for 3‚000 to 5‚000 glucose units. Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in α 1‚4 linkages. Glucose compounds are joined together in a chain of molecules by a process of dehydration synthesis. Dehydration refers to the removal of that water molecule. Synthesis refers to the building or "putting together" process. Through this process‚ hydrogen (H) and hydroxide (OH) ends are removed and joined separately to make water. Multiple bonds

For example on a hot day water escapes our bodies rapidly and severe water loss can lead to dehydration‚ without the endocrine system this dehydration could cause a dramatic impact on health or even lead to death (Chiras‚ 2011) – hence the endocrine system is so important for the maintenance of

with data from this patient. I would guess a fluid volume deficit. Dark amber urine‚ dry mucus membranes‚ poor skin turgor‚ and labs all point in that direction. Although the patient’s output seems to be adequate‚ everything else points towards dehydration. It also seems like the patient has a fluid/electrolyte imbalance which may be putting the water in the wrong departments‚ or an infection (as reflected in pt. vital signs). So even though he is receiving IV fluids‚ it’s not reflecting on his physical

One of the most life-threatening and highly contagious viruses in cats is Feline Pan Leukopenia Virus. It is also known as feline distemper. The virus affects red blood cells‚ mostly those in the intestinal tract‚ bone marrow‚ and the stem cells of developing fetuses. The attacks on the blood cells can lead to the development of anemia and lowering of the immune system. The virus can survive for years in contaminated environments‚ making it incredibly difficult to get rid of. Kittens between the
