Answer : Using Opthalmic Sponges.

Explanation : Collecting tears with the trivial methods is often not possible as to avoid the tear reflex is a different problem. Tear collection with glass capillaries are the most widely used method for taking samples and is considered to be the best method for avoiding tear reflex.

To collect tears are from elderly people or small children's who had difficulties with glass capillaries; for them ophthalmic sponges was used.

This kind of opthalmic sponges proved to be well tolerated by the patient, especially in small children's, and also enabled standardization of the tear collection in terms of volume.

I would say that the most efficient method of collecting tears from an elderly woman would be to tell her something very sad that pulled at her heart strings such as say discussing the death of her husband if they had a good relationship and he died a painful death, say, as an example.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is this: A specific enzyme removes the hydrogen from the monosaccharide and the hydroxide from the polysaccharide, creating a bond between the two and creating a water molecule.

Explanation:

The process by which a monosaccharide molecule is added to an existing polysaccharide in biological systems is called CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION.

During the process of condensation, an hydrogen atom and an hydroxide molecule from the reactants come together to form a water molecule; this leads to the formation of covalent bond between the reactants.

Condensation reaction is used in living organisms to produce complex macro molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, which are needed by the body for health growth.

Remember, condensation reaction always results in loss of water molecules and formation of more complex molecule. One example of monosaccharide is glucose while cellulose (found in plants) and starch (found in animals) are examples of polysaccharides.

What are known causes of epigenetic effects, and how do they
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Epigenetic effects can be caused by DNA heterochromatin and/or histone silence or activate.

As such, they can different chromosomes or certain chromosomal regions and be responsible for parental imprinting or influencing gene activity in oxidation and reduction.

Patterns of nucleotide demethylation and hypermethylation are often activate when cancer cells are compared to normal cells.

Explanation:

Cells acquire various patterns of gene expression during differentiation to adapt to a changing environment. Epigenetic and genetic alterations are considered as two independent mechanisms that participate in the onset and progression of cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms can be as important for biological events as genetic mechanisms, which do not imply a change in the DNA sequence, but do have an important role in the modification of gene expression.
