Explanation:

c. "Taking this medication helps reduce my risk of stroke and heart attack."

In type II diabetes, the body is unable to adapt to the insulin it produces; this condition has several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular events. A pro-drug, ramipril belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) family- it is metabolized in the kidney and more significantly, the liver. This drug is a molecule that acts as an enzyme inhibitor for ACE; it converts angiotensin I (ATI) to angiotensin II (ATII) which in turn allows for blood pressure regulation. Additionally it maybe used in the management of other conditions such as:

  • Nephropathy
  • Heart failure
  • Asthma

It may also reduce the risk of several conditions in persons at risk for cardiovascular events...

  • Fatality
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke

How have dna microarrays made a huge impact on genomic studies?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Microarray technology is a very useful technology that allows to study the measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously. It consists of a solid support (that can be glass, silice, or nylon), and to it are attached a lot of single stranded DNA fragments that acts like probes. By complementarity, the genes corresponding to this probes that are being expressed at some time will attach to it. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by detection of a fluorophore compund, a silver stained, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets.

Answer:

They probably use aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

A travel distance of 11.500 kilometers in 9 days covered by flying surely requires a lot of energy.

  • If cells are fermenting, the ATP (energy) they generate only comes from glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP molecules.

  • If they are using aerobic respiration, glucose is completely oxidized to CO₂ through glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle, and the electrons enter the electron transport chain to finally reduce oxygen into water. In the complete process, up to 36 ATP molecules are produced.

In sum, aerobic respiration is much more efficient to generate energy than fermentation, so it's probably the main metabolism of the flight muscles in bar-tailed godwits.
