Regarding serum iron analysis, the maximum concentration of iron that transferrin can bind is reflected in Transferrin saturation laboratory measurement.

Transferrin saturation, estimated as a percentage, is a medical laboratory measurement. It is determined by dividing the value of serum iron by the total iron-binding capacity of the accessible transferrin.

Transferrin is the major protein which binds iron in the blood and this value tells a physician how much serum iron is bound.

A low transferrin saturation is a general sign of iron deficiency anemia while a high transferrin saturation may signify iron overload or hemochromatosis.

Transferrin saturation is also known as transferrin saturation index (TSI) or transferrin saturation percentage (TS%).

A condition in which inadequate intake of vitamin b12 or folic acid causes production of large abnormal red blood cells is calle
quester [9]
The correct answer is "megaloblastic anemia".

In the event of deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12, there will be inhibition of DNA synthesis in red blood cell precursors as well as other cells in the myeloid lineage. This results to continuous cell growth without cell division leading to large, immature red blood cells (hence the term megaloblastic) with low hemoglobin levels. Vitamin B12 deficiency particularly causes neuropathic symptoms such as neuropathic pain and numbness.

If megaloblastic anemia is caused by the resection of the portion of stomach that produces the intrinsic factor (important in the absorption of vitamin B12), then the condition is called pernicious anemia.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is left cerebral hemisphere.

Explanation:

The left cerebral hemisphere of the brain is accountable for the motor control of the right side of the body, for sensory stimulus from the body’s right side, for analysis and calculations, for the speech, comprehension, and language, for the recognition of letters, words, and numbers, and for time and sequencing.  

The left cerebral hemisphere is accountable for the processing of the sensory information and motor information for the body’s right side. Thus, as left cerebral hemisphere monitors the movement of the body's right side, so, based on the extremity of the stroke, which may result in motor skill impairment or functional loss of the right side of the body, shows that the left side of the brain has got affected.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

  • Interspecific competition between sea urchins and Stellar's sea cows  
  • Predation fo sea urchins by sea otters

Explanation:

As urchins and Stellar's sea cows feed on seaweed, since these algae are low in quantity, these two organisms end up competing for food, creating an inter-specific competition, which occurs when two organisms compete for the same resource within a same ecological niche. However, as the hedgehog has advantages in this niche, this competition was interrupted.

The otters' predatorism in relation to sea urchins was also interrupted, as the otters reached a very low population level, failing to control the hedgehog population and generating an environmental imbalance.

Based on current data;

  • The amount of carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere annually dueto human activities is 840 gigatons
  • The amount of carbon in the atmosphere is 10 gigatons
  • The amount of carbon stored in fossil fuels is 10,000 gigatons

<h3>What is the carbon cycle?</h3>

The carbon cycle a cycle showing how carbon is recycled between the atmosphere and earth.

The carbon cycle ensures that their is a balance of carbon in the atmosphere as well as on earth.

Human activities have increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.

The amount of carbon dioxide human activities put into the atmosphere annually in the present day is 840 gigatons.

The amount of carbon in the atmosphere is 10 gigatons

The amount of carbon stored in fossil fuels is 10,000 gigatons

Therefore, it can be concluded that human activities disrupt the carbon cycle.
