Answer:
Serum or urine components
Explanation:
Multiple myeloma is the cancer developed in the plasma cell that is a kind of white blood cell. The plasma cell helps in production of antibodies that protects the body from infection. Multiple myeloma causes the cancerous cells to aggregate in the bone marrow and covers the healthy cells.
The diagnosis of this type of cancer includes bone marrow biopsy, urine and blood tests. The bone marrow plasmocytosis includes the increase in plasma cells number in the bone marrow. The areas of bone damage that are due to cancerous plasma cell are the lytic bone lesions.
The proteins produced by the cancerous cells are detected in serum and urine samples. Thus, definitive diagnosis of multiple myeloma includes the triad of bone marrow plasmacytosis, lytic bone lesions, and <u>Serum</u>.
The cycle of photosynthesis and respiration maintains the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen on earth. Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells. In our cells, oxygen allows cellular respiration to proceed. Cellular respiration works best in the presence of oxygen. Without oxygen, much less ATP would be produced.
Answer:
Sponges use <em><u>choanocytes</u></em> or <em><u>flagellated channels</u></em> to get nutrients from the feeding cells to other parts of their body.
Explanation:
Sponges are marine animals with a sac-shaped body. The epidermis is composed of polygonal flat cells called pinacocytes and pores protected by porocytes. Under the epidermis, there is a protein matrix called mesenchyme, which is composed of spicules and <em><u>amibocytes</u></em>. By the interior side of the sponge, there are the<em><u> choanocytes</u></em>. These are ovoid cells that can be shaping the spongocoele (internal cavity of the sponge), with an extreme attached to the mesenchyme and the other extreme projected to the spongocoele, or can be grouped in spaces called <em><u>flagellated channels</u></em>.
These animals depend on water to get oxygen and food to the inside of the sac and take excrements and reproductive cells to the outside. Sponges <em>feed on small detritus particles and suspending organisms</em> that get near the animal by water streams produced by choanocytes.
Particle size is essential. Only the small ones can get through the flagellated channels, where they get stuck to the choanocytes and are encapsulated by the cells. If the choanocytes are too small, the particle is transferred to the amibocytes for digestion. These last ones also act as food storages. Excrement products are dragged by a water stream.
Answer:
Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber
Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles
Independent variable: exposure to air pollution
Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.
Explanation:
In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.
N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).
In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).
The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.
