True or False. In pernicious anemia, oxygen depletion in the body becomes apparent withing the first 6 months of life.
mylen [45]

False, pernicious anemia may take up to 5 years to show symptoms. However, the oxygen starts to get depleted within the first 6 months in thalassemia major.

Pernicious anemia:

In this condition, the body is unable to absorb vitamin B12 which leads to lowered amount of red blood cells which are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. It is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack their own cells in the lining of the stomach which affects the absorption of vitamin B12. The symptoms of pernicious anemia are dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, breathlessness, and loss of appetite. The depletion of oxygen is seen in thalassemia major within 6 months.

The sports drink G2 has 17 grams of carbohydrate in a 20 ounce bottle. How many calories does this provide from carbohydrate?
DENIUS [597]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

68 calories

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>Carbohydrates is one of the biomolecules, others being nucleic acids, lipids and proteins. Carbohydrates are the major sources of energy in the body.</em></u>
  • Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. They are classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.
  • <em><u>Each gram of carbohydrates yields energy equivalent to 4 calories. Therefore, 17 grams will yield (17×4) 68 calories.</u></em>

PLEASE HELP!!! (ANSWER APPROPRIATELY)
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Complete immersion in water is not essential for life for the yabby. If its gills are kept moist (humid air is sufficient), it can absorb oxygen from the air and survive for many days out of water. To breed, however, it must be in water.

The yabby has evolved an ingenious mechanism for surviving drought. As the ground dries up it burrows down following the falling water table, and seals the burrow entrance with an earthen plug. In a small, moist chamber at the bottom, the yabby enters a state resembling suspended animation, its bodily functions (respiration, pulse and digestion) practically ceasing. This mechanism is called aestivation (not hibernation, which is a winter adaptation of warm-blooded animals). The yabby can remain like this for years on end. Burrows well over 5 metres deep have been found.

The yabby is rarely found in clear water. Its natural habitat is usually muddy water, which (although probably not essential to life) may give some protection from predators. Some predators, such as fish, do not depend upon sight alone but can sense pressure changes, tracking their prey even in muddy water; cormorants too can find their prey in muddy waters.

Substrate type is not critically important, although the yabby is commonly found on muddy or silted bottoms with the occasional rock or fallen branch (in contrast to the leaf-littered, rocky or pebbly streams of the spiny crayfishes). Experiments have shown that growth is faster on a natural substrate such as mud or stones, than on an artificial one such as plastic tanks.

Explanation:

Hope that my answer helped. If my answer did help you then would you be kind to give me brainliest because I've been trying to rank up. If not then it's totally fine. Thanks :)

The molecular sequence, or blueprint for a protein, is originally carried by which molecule? A) ATP B) DNA C) rRNA D) tRNA
qaws [65]
The molecular sequence, or blueprint for a protein, is originally carried by <span>DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates, they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. </span>
