Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have increased resistance to malaria because the parasite does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.

<h3>What is the link between G6P deficiency and malaria?</h3>
  • Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder.
  • G6PD protects cells from oxidative damage especially the RBCs whose main function is to carry oxygen.
  • Mutation in the gene results in G6PD deficiency leading to oxidative stress which can lead to anemia (iron deficiency) as there is breakdown of RBCs.
  • However, G6PD deficiency is quite common in parts of Africa, Middle East, and South Asia, which are the regions of high malaria endemism.
  • This is due to natural selection in which G6PD deficiency is not eliminated from the population as it can protect people from malaria infection.
  • Malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium</em> species does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.

New membrane phospholipids are synthesized by enzymes bound to the _____________ side of the _________________ membrane. a. lumi
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The correct option is C) cytosolic, endoplasmic reticulum

<em>New membrane phospholipids are synthesized by enzymes bound to the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  </em>

Explanation:

Synthesis of proteins that are destined to membrane or exportation starts in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a signal aminoacidic sequence. This signal sequence is located in the amino extreme of the synthesizing protein, and when it reaches a certain length, it meets the signal recognizing particle. This particle joins the signal sequence of the protein and leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. When they reach the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the signal recognizing particle links to a receptor associated with a pore. Meanwhile, the ribosome keeps synthesizing the protein, and the enlarged polypeptide chain goes forward the reticulum lumen through the pore. While this is happening, another enzyme cuts the signal sequence, an action that requires energy from the ATP hydrolysis. When the new protein synthesis is complete, the polypeptide is released into the reticulum lumen. Here it also happens the protein folding (which is possible by the formation of disulfide bridges of proteins are formed) and the initial stages of glycosylation (the oligosaccharide addition).  The newly synthesized proteins get packaged into vesicles that take them to the Golgi apparatus.

In the Golgi complex, proteins suffer their final association with carbohydrates and lipids to originate glycoproteins and glycolipids. Once these processes are done, the glycoproteins and glycolipids are packaged again into new vesicles that drive them to their final destiny.

What accounts for the fact that there are far more substances than are listed on the periodic table?
vivado [14]
This is because elements are pure substances with only one atom. When two or more elements are combined, you get compound elements; which allows for more substances to be created.

You want to make 50 ml of 1X tricaine solution in order to euthanize some fish. How much of a 20X tricaine stock solution will y
Olegator [25]

Answer: e. 2.5 ml

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of stock solution = 20X

V_1 = volume of stock solution = ?

C_2 = concentration of required solution= 1X

V_2 = volume of  required solution= 50 ml

20\times V_1=1\times 50ml

V_2=2.5ml

Thus 2.5 ml much of a 20X tricaine stock solution is needed to dilute in order to make your solution.
