Why is a longitudinal study better than a cross-sectional study for examining how many years cancer survivors stay in remission?

<span>A cross-sectional study examines all of the participants at one time. So for a cross-sectional study of cancer survivors, we would gather some sample of former patients and find out how long they have been in remission.

The problem with that cross-sectional design is we would be missing the people whose cancer had returned and caused them to die before our experiment started; we would have introduced a problem called "survivor bias" by only counting people who were STILL in remission and still alive.

A better experiment will use a longitudinal design of enrolling people whose cancer has just gone into remission, and following them to see how long they stay healthy.</span>

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer;

-Fortification;

Explanation;

-Food fortification is the process of adding micronutrients such as essential trace elements and vitamins to a food item. It is done to improve the nutritive values of the food. These nutrients may or may not have been originally present in the food before processing.

-Fortified foods can help correct deficiencies, but they can overdo one nutrient, which may counteract the benefit. Multivitamin-multimineral supplements can't replace food; nothing can.

NAD+ is a limiting factor in glycolysis. In the absence of ____________________ the conversion of (1) ____________________ to NA
scoray [572]

The correct options to fill in the gaps are:

  • ADP; NADH, and electron transport chain
  • alcohol fermentation; lactic acid fermentation; acetaldehyde; NADH; and NAD+

<h3>What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?</h3>

NAD+ serves as an electron acceptor in glycolysis. It accepts two electrons to become reduced to NADH + H+.

NAD+ is a limiting factor in glycolysis. In the absence of ADP, the conversion of NADH to NAD+ via the electron transport chain is prevented from happening.

In eukaryotes, the hydrogen atoms of the molecules mentioned in are transferred to certain organic molecules in one of two methods: alcohol fermentation as can occur in yeast and lactic acid fermentation as can occur in human cells. In the process mentioned in, the hydrogen atoms are passed to acetaldehyde, which is then converted to a molecule of ethanol. During this a molecule of NADH is oxidized to a molecule of NAD+, which allows glycolysis to continue on.

In conclusion, NAD+ concentration is limiting to glycolysis.
