Based on the given condition of the question the disease is sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.

    Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These sickle cells also become rigid and sticky, which can slow or block blood flow.

     Sickle cells break apart easily and die. Red blood cells usually live for about 120 days before they need to be replaced. But sickle cells typically die in 10 to 20 days, leaving a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). Without enough red blood cells, the body can't get enough oxygen, and this causes fatigue.

   Periodic episodes of extreme pain, called pain crises, are a major symptom of sickle cell anemia. Pain develops when sickle-shaped red blood cells block blood flow through tiny blood vessels to your chest, abdomen and joints. The pain varies in intensity and can last for a few hours to a few days. Some people have only a few pain crises a year. Others have a dozen or more a year. A severe pain crisis requires a hospital stay.

  Some adolescents and adults with sickle cell anemia also have chronic pain, which can result from bone and joint damage, ulcers, and other causes. Swelling of hands and feet. The swelling is caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood circulation in the hands and feet.

An artificial cell has is made up of 30% sugar and 70% water. It is placed in a solution
Molodets [167]

Answer:

It will shrink because it was placed in a hyper tonic solution

Explanation: Hyper tonic = More solute (sugar)

Hypo tonic = more liquid (water)

When a cell is placed in a solution it will essentially try to balance out so in this case water goes out the cell and solute goes, in shrinking the cell.

Which statement best describes a characteristic of an ecosystem
shusha [124]

Answer:

<u>Infrastructure</u>

Infrastructure is an important characteristic as it influences accessibility to the environment by  land managers, and tourists alike. Unfortunately it can also increase the invasive potential  introduced species, such as weeds and feral animals as road vehicles are well known to act as  vectors for invasion of both weeds and feral animals. On the other hand roads improve access  to implement various management programs, and also provide access for land users.
