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!!

The suns energy reaches the earth by what process
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Energy from the sun reaches Earth by way of radiation.

The sun cannot conduct heat to the Earth directly because the two bodies are not in contact with each other. Convection is also impossible, as no medium connects the two bodies to facilitate heat flow. Instead, the sun radiates much of its energy as light of various wavelengths. Some of this radiated light is in the infrared part of the spectrum and reaches Earth as heat.

Light in the visible part of the spectrum also has the effect of warming the Earth. It does this by penetrating the atmosphere and being absorbed by the land and water. Once the Earth has absorbed all of the energy it can hold, it begins to radiate energy back toward space. This terrestrial radiation is primarily in the infrared band of the spectrum, which is absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap heat and store up the surplus energy of the Earth's allotment of solar radiation. Eventually, even the atmosphere reaches thermal saturation and radiates waste energy back out into space.

I hope this helps :)

Which list provides evidence for the general theory of relativity?
gayaneshka [121]

<u>Answer:</u>

Gravitational redshift, changes in a planet’s orbital path, gravitational lensing provides the concrete evidence for the general theory of relativity.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Due to the slowing of time in very 'strong gravitational field' the gravitational redshift occurs.
  • The low frequency of the light occurs in the red part when we observe the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • The appearance of light is seen slightly shifted to the 'red wavelength'.
  • The matter in the galaxies that bends the light from a source at a distance reaching the observer is also a evidence which is termed as gravitational lensing.
