A man and his wife went in for fertility testing after trying to have a baby for over a year. After examining the man’s sperm un

der the microscope, the doctor told the man that his sperm do not swim properly. Their tails seem smaller and the doctor suspects that the man has a genetic disorder affecting the proteins in the tails, preventing his sperm from swimming efficiently to unite with his wife’s egg.

Answer:

Ribosomes

Explanation:

This  is the organelle for regulating protein synthesis in cells.It is made up of the small and big submits. These sub units collectively ensure the process of  translation of protein my ensuing the correct  synchronisation of condoms not he smaller nit of ribosomes with the anti codons on the tRNA with the  to give a designated protein.

Therefore if there is mutation -deletion or substitution  in the codons and anti codons,.this may affect bring frame shift which affects the protein translated leading to  wrong protein formation.

Mitochondria is the organelle that gives the sperm  power to swim.Therefore the protein that  codes for mitochondrial is faulty and this affects the the tail from swimming properly.since ribosomes is the source of protein this is the correct answer

The molecular bonds between atoms are considered to be _____ in a food item, before you eat it.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Chemical energy

<h2>Which form of energy does our food contain? </h2>

Yes, food serves as a basic source of the nutrients and energy needed to maintain and grow the body. Food contains what is referred to as "chemical energy" in terms of energy. This is nothing more than the bonds between the atoms that make up the specific food item, which the body may break down to release energy that it can use to create, repair, and ensure appropriate bodily function. This chemical energy is ultimately sunshine energy, which plants have the extraordinary capacity to use and store in the chemical compounds they produce, mostly in their leaves, using sunlight, water, and atmospheric carbon dioxide. Food does indeed contain energy, but that energy ultimately originates from the sun. Since people have known this for thousands of years, many civilizations revere the sun, along with water, air, and of course fire, as the source of life. For the body to function, energy is required by the muscles, brain, heart, and liver. The food we eat provides us with this energy. Our bodies break down the food we consume by combining it in the stomach with fluids (acids and enzymes). The carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in food is broken down into another form of sugar, termed glucose, during digestion in the stomach. The glucose is absorbed by the stomach and small intestines before being released into the circulation. Upon entering the bloodstream, glucose can either be utilized right away for energy or stored for later use. But in order to utilize or store glucose for energy, our systems need insulin. When insulin is absent, glucose remains in the circulation, which raises blood sugar levels. The glucose is burnt inside of your cells to create heat and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a chemical that stores and releases energy as the cell requires. Either oxygen is present throughout the process of converting glucose into energy, or it is not. In the mitochondria, which are microscopic structures located in the gel-like fluid that fills every cell, glucose is transformed into energy using oxygen. This conversion results in waste products including water and carbon dioxide as well as energy (ATP, heat). Without oxygen, red blood cells convert glucose into energy because they lack mitochondria. ATP, heat, and lactic acid are produced as a result. Muscle cells also use glucose as a source of energy. Muscle cells are, well, double-jointed when it comes to converting glucose into energy. They can metabolize glucose with oxygen because they contain mitochondria. However, if the muscle cell's oxygen level plummets, the cells can simply convert glucose into energy on their own without it. When you have been working out so hard that you are physically out of breath, this is most likely to occur.

How does the suns energy cause a hurricane to form
BigorU [14]
The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then <span>strengthen and organize to form hurricanes. Hope this helps:)

Explain how heredity and family medical history can play a role in an individual’s personal health. Include examples in your exp
allsm [11]
Many disorders can be heritable through the generation. Knowing the patterns of disorder heredity, either it is dominant or recessive, autosomal or sex-linked is a great advantage in making a diagnose. It should be taken into consideration that some diseases can be influenced by environmental factors. For example, a person knows its parents had high blood pressure. That person has a predisposition for high blood pressure too. But, since heredity and family medical history is known, that person can prevent the appearance of the disease by taking care of its condition, performing physical activities, avoiding smoking, fat diet, etc.
