Semenov [28]2 years ago

Answer:

The breakdown of carbohydrates in the cell during cellular respiration does not change the matter or energy in the molecule. Actually, the matter in the energy molecule, which is the number of atoms and molecule, remains the same and are only transferred to make other molecules (remember that in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms on the reactants side must balance with those of the products). The energy in the bonds of the molecule, as they are broken down by metabolic enzymes, are what is transferred to ATPs. This process is not efficient as most energy is lost as heat. The energy in the ATPs is used in catabolic process like the formation of carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle of plants. Catabolic processes reduce entropy - & increase Gibbs free energy - hence require energy.

Ultimately, no energy or matter is destroyed or made, it is only transferred, hence observing the first law of thermodynamics.

Energy in the body is stored through glycogenesis where glycogen is formed from excess glucose and stored in tissues. When energy is required, this glycogen is broken down back to glucose through glycogenolysis and it can be used in cellular respiration.

A client with suspected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has had two positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Western blot should be performed

Explanation:

Generally ELISA test is sensitive to elevated antibodies levels in the blood. Because HIV infection is characterise with increases in antibodies levels(HIV-antibodies levels)of the body, it is usually the first screening test for HIV,however it  is also sensitive to elevated antibody   from  any other infection apart from HIV. Therefore for confirmation, the procedure is to run a second ELISA test, to determine if the antibody rise was due to HIV or not. If the second test turns positive, then Western blot can be applied.

The Western blot through  secondary and primary antibodies binding , separates the  investigating antibodies, and  identity the specif HIV antibodies present  to give a positive HIV-antibody,  confirming ELISA positive test.

Thus for confirmation of HIV specific antibodies  of the blood; ELISA test followed by Western blot is  ideal

How do you know if something is alive describe some of the characteristics of living things
34kurt
We can determine if something is a living thing by seeing if they show some of the living characteristics. These characteristics include:

Reproduction - to make more of the same organism
Sensitivity - the ability to detect and react to stimuli
Nutrition - eat and digest food.
Movement - the ability to change its position or location
Respire - to breathe / gas exchange
Excretion - get rid of toxic / materials in excess

All living things show the characteristics above. 

For example, we can be sure that robots are not living things because they cannot excrete, respire, or reproduce even if they can move and sense stimuli from outside. We can also be sure that plants are living because they show all characteristics, even for movement, we don't obviously see that, but for example, they may grow towards a light source.

Equilibrium is when the concentration is the same throughout an entire system. Explain how a cell reaches equilibrium in all thr
Sati [7]

The cell reaches equilibrium in a hypertonic solution by removing water from it so that the two concentrations are isotonic, in a hypotonic solution the water will move into the cell and in an isotonic solution the water will not move anywhere anymore. Both cells have the same solute concentration.

<h3>How do these equilibrium processes occur?</h3>

The hypertonic solution is the one that has a solute concentration greater than that of the cell, so in order to reach the same concentration, the water in the cell will leave to equal the solute concentration in the cell. The hypotonic solution, on the other hand, is the one that has a lower solute concentration than the cell, so the water will enter the cell to have the same concentration.

Finally in the isotonic solution nothing will happen, since both inside the cell and in the solution itself there will be the same concentration of solute, so no concentration has to be equalized.

Therefore, we can confirm that the cell reaches equilibrium in a hypertonic solution by removing water from it so that the two concentrations are isotonic, in a hypotonic solution the water will move into the cell and in an isotonic solution the water will not move anywhere anymore. Both cells have the same solute concentration.
