Blood clotting is controlled by a positive feedback loop. When tissues or blood vessels are damaged, a blood clotting cascade is

activated that transforms liquid blood into a gel-like substance. The feedback loop can be activated extrinsically or intrinsically to activate a protein called factor X, a protein necessary for the blood clotting cascade to function. In the extrinsic pathway, damaged tissues release tissue factors, which interact with various clotting factors and calcium ions to activate factor X. In the intrinsic pathway, blood platelets release factor XII, which also activates factor X by interacting with various clotting factors and calcium ions.What does the data suggest about the effectiveness of the feedback loop at regulating the blood clotting cascade for someone who is deficient in calcium?A. It will be ineffective because the person will be unable to form factor X.B. It will be ineffective because the person will be deficient in red blood cells.C. It will be effective because the person's intrinsic pathway will form factor X.D. It will be effective because the person's clotting factors will interact to form calcium.

The process described shows no direct relation between red blood cells and the blood clotting cascade, therefore B is incorrect.

The clotting factors do not form calcium. They interact with tissue factors, as well as calcium ions interact with tissue factors too, to active factor X. Therefore, D is incorrect too.

The intrinsic pathway needs calcium ions, as they interact with factor XII to activate factor X. Therefore, C is also wrong.

Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways needs calcium ions to activate factor X. So without calcium the cascade will be inne

What is the special feature of an egg cell?
Arturiano [62]
The human egg cell is the largest cell in the human body, measuring approximately 0.13 mm in diameter. Its size is 10 times the diameter and 1000 times the volume of most other human body cells. It can actually be seen without the aid of a microscope if one observes keenly. Unlike ordinary body cells which have a cell membrane, the egg has a special outer coat called zona pellucida which is made up of a jelly-like extracellular matrix composed mainly of glycoproteins.

mash [69]

Answer: RNA is a more stable molecule than DNA

Explanation: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is much stable than RNA (ribonucleic acid) for many reasons; Frist of all its because of the double strand of the DNA versus the single-stranded RNA. This is thanks to the Hydrogen bonding between bases since those bondings release free energy that allows the molecule to be provided by more thermodynamic stability.

Also the lack of 2′ OH groups makes DNA more stable since the OH groups are very reactive by themselves. In the DNA sugar molecule there is not a spare OH group that could start reacting on its own. So this is why DNA is immune to chemical reactions, while RNA (having an extra OH group) is more chemically "promiscuous".

What are the most economically 'productive disasters'?​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1. Disasters increase scarcity and reduce the output of economies.

In simplest terms, inputs are necessary for outputs; fewer inputs means fewer outputs. When a disaster damages or destroys resources – whether labor, capital, or natural resources – total production in the economy must fall.

The production possibilities frontier (PPF) is used by economists to model “production possibilities” – the output possible in an economy making full use of its available resources. The PPF shrinks when disasters reduce the availability of the resources used to make goods and services.
