The two correct terms for nitrate poisoning in newborn infants are BLUE BABY SYNDROME AND METHEMOGLOBINEMIA.

This condition arises in in newborn infants as a result of been exposed to high level of nitrates. Newborn infants are usually exposed to unhealthy level of nitrates via nitrate contaminated water that is used to mix their food formula. Presence of high dose of nitrate in the body drastically reduces the amount of oxygen that is found in the blood, this make the color of the baby to become bluish. Other symptoms associated with this condition are: difficulty in breathing, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, dizziness, weakness, etc.

Answer from: jessicaisbaehood

The correct term for nitrate poisoning in newborn infants is methemoglobinemia also known as a blue baby syndrome.

Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder in which too little oxygen is delivered to your cells. Oxygen is carried through your bloodstream by hemoglobin, a protein that’s attached to your red blood cells. Normally, hemoglobin then releases that oxygen to cells throughout your body. The poison is due to nitrate metabolizing triglycerides; this is the contributing factor in high nitrate in the drinking water and also nitrate exposure if eating contaminated vegetables like letture.

the potatoes have high sugar concentrations and although these potatoes were different we could seethe effects that their sugar concentrations had in different environments. for example, the potatoes in sample a, were placed in pure water. this created a hypertonic environment and caused the potatoes to draw in water from its surroundings. we saw the opposite happen with the potatoes in sample b when placed in the sodium chloride solution. the potatoes in this case were in a hypotonic solution and therefore lost water to their surroundings.
