1, based on what you know about blood, why would having a sickle cell anemia crisis result in a reduced red blood cell count, an

elevated white blood cell count, and a reduced hematocrit? 2. based on what you learned in the previous activity, why did having sickled red blood cells lead to the symptoms documented in anna's medical history when she was 14 months old? 3. describe three ways daily life is affected for those who have sickle cell anemia. 4. describe at least five symptoms of a sickle cell crisis. 5. describe the pros and cons of the treatments used for each of the sickle cell anemia patients investigated in this activity.

1. Having a sickle cell anemia crisis is a severe condition of reduced red blood cell count.
 2. Having sickled red blood cells lead to the symptoms like having pain in the chest and the throbbing of her leg.
 3. A person having sickle cell anemia is mostly tired due to reduction in red blood cells, so they cannot do any work with their bodies. There would difference in the personal appearances like yellow eye and skin looks pale and the skeletal system become weak too. There is trouble with breath too. 
 4. The symptoms are as follows like the patient fall in to anemia condition, urine is dark in color, eyes are yellow, and person looks pale and the body experiences frequent pain and delay in the body growth.
 5. Hydroxyurea is the medication used here. The pros of this are the frequent body pains reduces and reduction in need of blood transfusion. the cons are increase of infection and this particular drug may cause tumors and leukemia.

What is the movement of water through the cell membrane in order to maintain homeostasis?
tiny-mole [99]

Osmosis. Cell membranes are "selectively permeable", where water is able to cross the cell membrane, but things that are dissolved in the water (solutes) are not. There are also small proteins called aquaporins which are designed to channel the movement of water across a cell membrane. You have to remember that water will move to achieve an equal solute concentration with that exists outside of the cell. A Hypotonic solution means that the liquid outside of the cells has LESS solutes in it than the cell does. Cells will take up water to match the low solute concentration outside the cells. A Hypertonic solution will have MORE solutes than the cell, and the cell will lose water to match the concentration outside the cell. Cells in a hypertonic solution will shrivel up, and cells will take up so much fluid in a hypotonic solution that they may burst.

Which of the following occurs at convergent plate boundaries?
goblinko [34]

The correct answer is:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also recognized as a destructive plate boundary, is a section of active deformation where two or more tectonic plates or parts of the lithosphere are near the edge of their life cycle. If two tectonic plates strike, they create a convergent plate boundary.

Two ways that bone cells and muscle cells are different
Vanyuwa [196]
Bone cell:
•
They are osteocytes
•Bone cells from a system of <em>infrastructure</em> in the skeletal system
•Bone cells have <em>thin</em> cytoplasmic branches.
Muscle cell:
•<em />They are myocytes
•Muscle cells provide an aid in the movement of the body by performing contraction and relaxation.
•Muscle cells do not have <em>thin </em>cytoplasmic branches (except for the cardiac muscle cells) 







Hope this helped! I listed three so that you can have a better idea.
