Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results. 

The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients

I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa. 

I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area. 

Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.

Does Ajay’s diet provide enough protein to meet his RDA of 0.8g/kg of body weight? (2.2lbs = 1kg)

Answer:

The correct answer is yes.

Explanation:

RDA or recommended dietary allowance refers to the minimum amount of a nutrient, that is, regarded as essential for the proper functioning of the body or to sustain good health. The RDA is formulated by the Nutrition Board of the National Research Council.  

In the given case, the weight of Ajay is 154 pounds. In terms of kilograms, 1 kg is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.  

Thus, 154 pounds will be equal to 154/2.2 = 70 Kg.  

Based on RDA, the requirement of protein for a healthy individual should be 0.8 g/kg of the body weight. Therefore, Ajay needs to consume 70*0.8 = 56 grams of protein. However, based on his diet he is consuming 78 grams of proteins in a day. Hence, it can be concluded that Ajay is consuming adequate protein to meet his RDA.
