Cannot carry normal levels of oxygen to cells
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

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!!

A method used by horticulturalists when they rotate the use of fields—planting crops on a particular piece of land for a period
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Crop rotation

Explanation:

When the growth of a type of crop which uses soil nutrients in abundance and then growing another crop in the same filed led to the decrease in the production of the next crop.

Thus farmers adapted to avoid such farming practices and developed a new practice which allowed the land to become fertile again so that the growth of next crop will not be affected.

The practice involved the planting of a crop on a piece of land then leaving the soil ploughed and unsown for a longer period of time and growing corp on another piece of land allowing the time to restore the nutrient content. This practice is known as "crop rotation".

Thus, crop rotation is the correct answer.

Why does water move along its concentration gradients?
Artemon [7]
There is an electrical gradient and there is a concentration gradient.

1.) Chemical gradient better known as concentration gradient is much more powerful and compelling than the electrical gradient.

2.) Water is a polar molecule, meaning one side it positively charged while the other is negatively charged. This polar charged molecule causes water to have a weaker electrical gradient, thus the water has to move on its concentration gradient.
