In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.

How does an enveloped virus gain/obtain/get its envelope?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The envelope come from the host cell membrane as the virus leaves the host cell

Explanation:

A virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without infecting a living host. A virus consists of a genetic material (DNA or RNA) , a protein coat called CAPSID, and sometimes some viruses possess an envelope, which is an outer covering or enclosure. Viruses that possess this envelope are referred to as ENVELOPED VIRUS.

The virus lacks the ability to produce any structure, hence, they gain this envelope made of phospholipid from the cell membrane of the host they infect. During the infection cycle of a virus, a process called budding enables a portion of the host's plasma membrane to cover or encapsulate the virion cells, hence, making them enveloped in the process.

Which of the following is an accurate description of an adult stem cell?
frosja888 [35]
I believe the answer is C). My reason for this is because multipotency stands for multidifferentiative potential. And this is the ability to generate progeny of quite a few distinct cell types. And adult stem cells have that ability. Hope this helps.

what is the function of vesicles in the synthesis of proteins and the release or those proteins outside the cell?
Zina [86]

Vesicles transport newly synthesized proteins to the Golgi apparatus. After the Golgi apparatus modifies the proteins, vesicles transport the modified proteins to the cell membrane, where they are released.

Hope this helps!
