Answer:
Thus, the correct answer is 'Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight'.
Answer:
The fewer number of T cells a person has, the more chances to be affected by an opportunistic infection. When the number of T cells reaches 200 cells/µl, the person is at risk of being infected by other infections.
Explanation:
The whole immune system of a person who is infected with HIV infection seems to be severely affected. When the person is not treated or the disease is in a very advanced stage, the depletion of the T- cells turns to be very sharped, especially CD4+ T cells. At this point, the immune system can not resist the attack of other microorganisms. The <em>lower is the number of CD4+ T Cells, the higher possibility the person has to be attacked by opportunistic infections. </em>
Classically, it has been suggested that opportunistic infections appear after the CD4 + T lymphocytes reach very low levels, such as 200 cells/µl. The number of circulating T cells can be used as an indicator and a measure of global "immune competence", and the previously mentioned amount of CD4 + T cells is an accepted universal reference used to predict the risk of having one of these opportunistic infections.
Answer:
<h2>1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume); 1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low),</h2>
Explanation:
HCT is calculated as:
HCT = Volume of red blood cells / (Volume of red blood cells + volume of plasma) x 100
1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume); 1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low), normal range for an adult female HCT ranges from 38 to 46% (some sources claim 34.9-44.5%).
*for calculating this, one must know two of these three values: packed cell volume, total blood volume, plasma volume.
Total blood volume = Packed cell volume + plasma volume.
Answer:
A. INACTIVE PRECURSOR OF THE ENZYME PEPSIN THAT DIGESTS PROTEINS IN THE STOMACH.
Explanation:
Pepsinogen is the inactive precursor of pepsin produced by the chief cells of the stomach lining. The stomach walls are lined by majorly two types of cells; the chief and the parietal cells. Chief cells secretes pepisinogen and parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid in the stomach lining. The chief cells upon the signals of increased protein substance in the stomach produces pepsinogen which upon it release, it is activated to the active enzyme Pepsin by the hydrochloric acid from the parietal cell. Hydrochloric acid provides the acidic environment needed for the action of pepsin in the stomach. The pepsin begins the digestion of proteins into small amino acids in the stomach,
