Answer:

The correct answer is: Protease inhibitor.

Explanation:

A protease inhibitor is a type of antiviral drug that is used mostly to treat AIDS and Hepatitis C.

Protease inhibitors work by blocking proteolytic cleavage of protein precursors so they can impede viral replication.

Protease inhibitors are very successful in the treatment of these diseases but they can have some side effects, like generating diabetes and kidney stones.

A scientist hypothesizes that increasing the amount of salt in a body of water will decrease the number of plants that can live
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Dependent and Independent variables are regarded as variables in mathematical and statistical modeling and of course in some other aspects.

The independent variable is this case is the amount of salt.

  • In this kind of scenario, one can think of independent and dependent variables in terms of cause and effect.  
  • An independent variable is the variable we assume to be the cause, while a dependent variable is assumed as the effect.
  • Therefore, with this case, the amount of salt would cause a decrease in the number of plants.
  • While the effect of increasing the amount of salt would be seen in the number of plants.

Can someone explain the Calvin Cycle to me?
Svet_ta [14]
The Calvin Cycle is otherwise known as the light-independent part of photosynthesis. Here is what happens in stages: 

<span>1) Ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) is a 5 carbon molecules that binds to a molecule of CO2 with the help of the enzyme Rubisco. This would theoretically make a 6 carbon compound but this is a very unstable compound that breaks down instantly to form 2 3 carbon molecules called glycerate 3-phosphate (GP). </span>

<span>2) The 2 GP molecules are 'activated' by the use of an ATP molecule and are then reduced (due to the oxidation of NADPH to NADP) to 2 3 carbon molecules of triose phosphate (TP). </span>

<span>3) The 2 TP molecules then lose 1 carbon atom (between them) and this carbon atom can be used to synthesise sugars. The remaining 5 carbon atoms bond together and are phosphorylated by a molecule of ATP back into the 5 carbon RuBP molecule so the cycle can start again. </span>

<span>This means that every cycle produces one carbon atom. This means that 6 cycles are required to produce one molecules of glucose as glucose is a 6 carbon sugar. Note that this is why CO2 is in the overall equation for photosynthesis because the carbon from CO2 ultimately ends up in the sugars produced by the plant.</span>

True or false? to perform abg punctures, a phlebotomist must undergo extensive training.
liq [111]

True, to perform ABG punctures, a phlebotomist must undergo extensive training.

<h3>What is an ABG test?</h3>
  • An blood gas (ABG) test measures the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood as well your blood's pH balance.
  • Arterial blood gas tests can help healthcare providers interpret conditions that affect your respiratory system, cardiovascular system and metabolic processes (how your body transforms the food you eat into energy), especially in emergency situations.
  • There’s also a test referred to as a "blood gas analysis," which uses a sample of blood from anywhere in your cardiovascular system (artery, vein or capillary).
  • An blood gas (ABG) test only tests a blood sample from an artery in your body.
