Solution:

People that born with hemophilia lack or have a low amount of a clotting factor.

Coagulation factors are proteins necessary for normal blood clotting.

Coagulation factors are found in blood plasma. These factors act with Thrombocytes to clot blood.

However, hemophilia is not a decrease in Thrombocytes but a decrease in coagulation factors due to genetic causes.

Diagnosis includes screening tests and clotting factor analysis. Screening tests are blood tests that show whether the blood is clotting properly. Clotting factor tests can reveal a deficiency of clotting factors in the blood plasma and determine the level of severity of hemophilia.

As the coagulation factors are in Blood plasma, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

BLOOD PLASMA

IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is:

fixation

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is a method by which nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is converted into ammonia or other molecules prepared to living organisms. Nitrogen fixation is carried by a diversity of bacteria, both as free-living organisms and in symbiotic association with plants. Because it is the primary source of the nitrogen in the soil, nitrogen that plants need to grow, nitrogen fixation is one of the most critical biochemical processes on Earth

Fed [463]
Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants (Figure 5.5). After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly glucose. These sugar molecules contain the energy that living things need to survive.
