Answer:
Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.
Explanation:
The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.
The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.
<span>47 chromosomes is the correct answer. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, making 46 chromosomes in total. Down's syndrome is the addition of an extra chromosome on chromosome 21, leading to an uneven number.</span>
Answer:
I think the question is "How might an RNA-based genome results display an increased in infection rate?" because current statement doesn't convey a message clearly.
Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to understand first that what is gene expression. Gene expression is a process in which genetic information is transcribed first to RNA and then into proteins. During transcription stage, only active genes would be transcribed to RNA and all other DNA material don't transcribe at all. Now, if there is an infection, host cell would express only those genes which would actively take part in the defense mechanism, e.g. R-genes, genes involved in production of reactive oxygen species, etc. Hence, to monitor the infection rate, we will look at the RNA-based genome. To do this, we will extract the total RNA and then would sequence it. Then we will annotate the genes and check the relative abundance (differential expression). Finally, we would have a clear that these genes were active against the infection. By doing temporal sampling and sequencing, we would be able to measure the rate as well.
For the second part, potential complications that could arise in doing analysis is the lower amount of RNA, or rapid degradation of RNA in case of presence of RNAses. RNA can be degraded easily at room temperature.
<span>The
phosphorus cycle is different from the carbon cycle (and other cycles) because (1)
it is not in gas state; (2) a cycle happening only in lithosphere, hydrosphere,
and biosphere and (3) phosphorus is located in and on land, sea, and sediment.</span>
The nurse should administer an injection of postexposure prophylaxis for tetanus. Tetanus is a toxic substance produced by a bacterium that cannot survive air (oxygen) exposure, that is why deep wounds are more vulnerable to tetanus. A moderate burn injury is considered an open dirty wound, therefore the patient should be protected from tetanus.
There is a vaccine for tetanus, that provides immunization from this disease, but it needs to be repeated every 10 years. However, in cases where there is an open dirty wound, the vaccine is believed to be inactive if it was not done within the last 5 years.
In this case, the child will not receive the tetanus vaccine, but an injection of active immunization, which acts much faster, but does not last as long as the vaccine.
