Cannot carry normal levels of oxygen to cells
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
8 0
Sickle cells are shriveled and do not function properly. Thus, they cannot carry normal levels of oxygen to cells. Think of it this way— a healthy cell that properly carries oxygen to cells is round and smooth. That’s how the cell is supposed to be. When a cell is a shriveled sickle cell, it is damaged, and isn’t able to work like it’s meant to.
Something interesting about sickle cell disease is that you can be a carrier for it (aka homozygous for the trait, Xx). Carriers are actually resistant to malaria. They have regular blood cells AND sickle cells! However, if you’re homozygous (XX) you will have complete sickle cell disease. And that’s not fun!!
Hope this helped you at all!!

What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common?
belka [17]

Answer;

-They all provide water

Explanation;

In reaction A, the reactants are glucose and fructose , and the products are Sucrose and water. This is a condensation reaction, following the combination of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) forming a dissaccharide (sucrose) and water.

In reaction B, the reactants are two amino acids, that results to formation of a dipeptide and water; this is also a condensation reaction joining two amino acids monomers, to form a dipeptide and water.

-In reaction C, a monoglyceride combines with a fatty acid to form a diglyceride and water. This is also an example of a condensation reaction that results to formation of a diglyceride and water.

Therefore, the similarity of all the reactions is that they are all condensation reactions, with water as a common product.
