Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic mutation in which the red blood cells of the human body contain abnormal haeme molecules.
They won't be able to carry as much oxygen as healthy red blood cells.
Answer:
The correct answer to your question: What step in protein synthesis is most likely inhibited by the antibiotic? Would be: Ribosomal translocation.
Explanation:
During the process of translation of mRNA into a protein chain, a series of other molecules, like tRNA, which are present in the ribosomal subunits, must attach to it and begin the process of translating the codes. Once a starting codon (like in this case AUG) which when translated into tRNA will code for the amino acid fMet, is recognized by the ribosome, the full process of protein formation begins properly. However, in order for it to continue and be completed, there is a process known as ribosomal translocation which is essentially the way that a ribosome, given certain signals from the mRNA, will start sliding down the strand to continue the process of coding for the complementary tRNA sequence and the amino acids that can be coded for by that tRNA sequence. With the use of this antibiotic, the process of translocation was stopped at the point in which the synthesis of protein reached two polypetides fMet-Phe.
Answer:
1. Fluid or water balance
2. Electrolytes
3. Thirst mechanism.
4. Osmosis
5. Dehydration
6. Diuretics
7. Interstitial fluid
8. Hyponatremia
Explanation:
1. Fluid or water balance is achieved when there is an equal concentration of water and electrolytes inside and outside the body's cells. The thirst mechanism of the body serves to maintain fluid balance of the body state by ensuring that enough fluid is consumed to allow for an equal concentration of electrolytes between the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments.
2. Charged ions such as sodium, potassium, and chloride are called electrolytes. They are the molecules which help the body to maintain fluid balance when they are pumped in or out of the cell.
3. The feeling of dry mouth experienced during dehydration is part of the body's thirst mechanism.
4. The process by which water moves in and out of cells from an area of lower concentration of solutes to an area of higher concentration of solutes is called osmosis.
5. If you are not consuming enough water, or if you are excreting too much water from your body, dehydration can occur.
6. Diuretics are substances that cause the body to lose water via urine.
7. The liquid that is between cells is called interstitial fluid.
8. Hyponatremia (low sodium concentration) occurs when the extracellular concentration of sodium is too low. It can occur when too much water is consumed over a short period of time, or it can occur due to sodium loss from the body due to kidney diseases.
I would assume that it is because it is relatively close to earth.
