Cancer cells are the cells that divide rapidly than any other cells in the body. The drugs used in chemotherapy work on rapidly dividing cancer cells. Some cells of our body apart from cancer cells also divide rapidly along with the cancer cells such as the cells that line the stomach and the digestive tract. Chemotherapy drugs cannot differentiate the cancer cells and the normal cells so these drugs also attack the normal cells which divide rapidly along with the cancer cells. The drugs also attack the cells that are present in the roots of the hair. So, this results in the hair loss. Hair loss does not occur immediately after the chemotherapy treatment instead it starts after few treatments. The degree of the hair loss after chemotherapy depends on the drug type and process. So when the chemotherapy drugs are used it results in the hair loss and nausea.
Therefore, when chemotherapy drugs attack normal cells including the roots of the hair instead of cancer cells that divide rapidly along with the cancer cells it results in the hair loss and nausea.
Finding the areas of each of the rectangles and squares of the net of a rectangular prism and adding up those areas gives the surface area or total surface area of the prism. For example, if the length of one side of the cube 4 units then the area of one its face is 4 × 4 = 16 square units.
A chromosome is made of both one DNA molecule wound around small protein molecules whereas DNA is just one large molecule called deoxyribose nucleic acid.
The answer is diffusion.
The most important mechanism that enables oxygen and carbon dioxide (but as well other small molecules such as glucose, amino acids, wastes) across capillary walls is diffusion. Diffusion is a net movement of molecules through some barrier from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration. When blood rich in oxygen reaches capillaries close to the cell, now there <span>is </span>more oxygen in the capillaries than in the cells and by diffusion, oxygen will pass capillary walls and enter the cell. Since blood in capillaries lacks in carbon dioxide, it will easily leave the cells and enter the blood. It should be taken into consideration that capillary walls may be fenestrated, continuous, and discontinuous which can affect movement through them.
