An individual with an uncertain vaccine history has been brought to the emergency room after receiving severe lacerations in an

accident with farm machinery. In addition to administering a tetanus toxoid vaccine, he is given a shot of tetanus immune globulin (TIG), a form of passive immunization. Why are both necessary?
A) The tetanus vaccine provides immediate protection, and the tetanus immune globulin provides long-term protection.B) The doctor is not sure which will work faster in this patient so decides to administer both.C) The tetanus immune globulin is given only when there are severe injuries and a high risk of infection.D) Tetanus immune globulin is always given along with the tetanus vaccine.E) The tetanus immune globulin provides immediate, short-term protection, and the tetanus vaccine provides long-term protection.

Answer:

E) The tetanus immune globulin provides immediate, short-term protection, and the tetanus vaccine provides long-term protection.

Explanation:

Basically, immunization is very important and necessary to protect the person from diseases.

In the above scenario, individual who is injured with severe lacerations does not have any history of previous tetanus vaccination. Because vaccination is for long term protection but it also take time to produce antibodies in an individual. Individual is injured and can have risk of tetanus.

So, along with vaccine we will administered the tetanus immune globulin to provide immediate, short term protection against tetanus.

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ nadh enter the electron transport chain.
SIZIF [17.4K]
The answer is 10 NADH.
For each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis, a total of 10 NADH are produced.
That is; during glycolysis 2 NADH are produced, while another two are produced in the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA, and in the Citric acid Cycle 6 NADH are produced, that makes a total of 10 NADH, which are then taken to the electron transport chain to produce ATP.

Ras is a g-protein that is activated when a growth factor attaches to egfr. its activation results in the replacement of a gdp m
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.

Explanation:

Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.

Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.
