NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer:

Most glycogen is stored in the liver.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of thousands of glucose units and, like all polysaccharides, has no sweetened taste. Thus, glycogen is a macromolecule that is chemically considered as a polymer formed by the association of glucose monomers.

The main concentrated glycogen storage organ is the liver, where this substance represents approximately 10% of its weight. Another place where we can find it is in the skeletal striated muscles, representing an important element of energy support. The amount of glycogen present in the muscles is very small (0.7% of their weight), however, due to the large amount of muscles, the stored glycogen value is higher than the amount stored in the liver.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder that is expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous dominant genotypes. Since two affected parents have a normal girl child, both the parents should be heterozygous carrier for the disease.  Let's assume that the dominant allele "A" is responsible for the disease. Genotype of both the parents of the girl would be "Aa". The genotype of girl with normal stature is "aa". Genotype of her normal partner is "aa".

A cross betwee aa X aa would get all the progeny with "aa" genotype. Therefore, all of their children would have normal stature and there is 0% probability for them to have a child with achondroplasia.

Answer:

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results  in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
