The answer would be: White blood cell (WBC) count of 20,000/mm3 
Peritoneal dialysis is an invasive treatment that involves an injection of fluid to the peritoneal space. It has a high risk of infection, which could cause peritonitis. Increases of white blood cells is a sign of infection. Peritoneal dialysis needs to be stopped if the infection occurs.

Explain the biological structure hierarchy of the human body and the role of homeostasis in maintaining the body. Include the fo
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

1. Biological structure of the human body

The human body is organized in different levels according to their complexity.

The levels are the folowing (increasing complexity).

1. Atom (N, O, C,..)

2. Molecule (Protein, lipids, water...)

3. Organelle (mitochondria, golgi apparatus,...)

4. Cell (blood cells, bone cell,..)

5. Tissue (connective tissue, epithelial tissue,..)

6. Organ (lungs, kidney,..)

7. Organ system (skeletal system, muscuar system,...)

8. Organism (the human body)

Each of the levels is formed by an agrupation of the previous level. For example, cells are formed by a number of organelles, and a group of cells form a tissue.

Cells are the basic units of structure of the body, and there are different types of them.

2. Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a process of the body by which the organism works to maintain a stable internal environment, while adjusting to changes in the external environment.

This process is possible because of the work of both the nervous system and the endocrine system. While the first controles the body's activities and detects the necesity of adjustments, the second regulates the activities by using hormones.

Which of the following does NOT characterize proteins?
8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.

Explanation:

Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?

This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.

<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>

A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.

<u>Denaturation</u> is the <u>destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures</u>. The <u>primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds</u> and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.

B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.

There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones <u>(FSH, LH)</u>, antibodies <u>(IgA, IgM),</u> enzymes <u>(lipase, amylase),</u> for storage/transport <u>(hemoglobin, ferritin)</u>, and locomotion <u>(actin, troponin).</u>

D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.

Just like <u>hemoglobin</u>, it's <u>quaternary structure</u> can carry <u>4 molecules of iron</u> in one go. <u>Enzymes</u> are shaped accordingly to fit a<u> specific substrate</u> <em>(lock-and-key model)</em>

How does pH and temperature affect cellular respiration?
Ray Of Light [21]
PH – depends on the environment the cell that is respiring is in.

Temperature; as it increases, the rate increases…to a point (too hot and enzymes denature!)
