Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that results from a malfunctioning chloride transport protein. This causes the accumulation

of a thick mucous in the lungs and around the pancreas. Why might an individual with cystic fibrosis have malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies

4 0

Answer:

In cystic fibrosis, there is an alteration in the chlorine channels of all cells, so all kinds of body secretions are affected.

Body fluids thicken at the intestinal level, forming a mucus that blocks the ducts that carry digestive enzymes from the pancreas to the intestine.

These enzymes are responsible for generating nutrients or proteins, vitamins and even fats are absorbed.

Explanation:

This intestinal factor results in malnutrition, growth impairment, hypovitaminosis, decay, anemia, capillary fragility, decline and fatigue.

By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.

A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.

How does the photosynthetic reaction center differ from the chorophyll molecules in the antenna complex?
o-na [289]

Answer:

Photosynthetic reaction center differ from the chlorophyll molecules in the antenna complex by the presence  and absence of core pigment and accessory pigment.

Explanation:

Photosynthetic reaction center contain core pigment known as chlorophyll  A which can aborb wavelength of sunlight not more than 700 nm in case of Photosystem 1 and the core chlorophyll pigment of Photosystem 2 absorb light having wavelength of 680nm or less than that.

                           Antenna complex or light harvesting complex  such as chlorophyll b ,Carotenoid,Xanthophyll absorb light energy from sunlight and transfer that light energy to photosynthetic reaction center by resonance energy transfer so that the photosynthetic reaction center uses the same(light energy) in form of chemical energy to out the further reactions of photosynthesis.
