Jenny, a healthy young woman, had a battery of tests during a physical for a new job. Her RBC count was at the higher end of the

normal range at that time, but four weeks later it was substantially elevated beyond that. When asked if any circumstances had changed in her life, she admitted to taking up smoking. How might her new habit explain her higher RBC count?

Answer:

Smoke-induced oxidative stress limited the oxygen-carrying capacity of the previous red blood cells

Explanation:

The red blood cell (RBC) contains hemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen. However, the Jane's smoking must have induced oxidative stress to the cells of her body including RBC, thus compromising it's oxygen-carrying capacity.

Hence Jane's body increased RBC count in order to maintain oxygen supply to all cells of her body.

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that
dezoksy [38]

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that the behavior can be properly described and understood. Without an operational definition, it would be difficult to describe behavior without being subjective. Therefore, behavior cannot be understood and cannot be correctly addressed. It is also important to understand how behavior functions so that the antecedents and consequences of behavior can be observed. Thus, what reinforces or affects the behavior can be better understood. Lastly, an operational definition is objective and specific, therefore, behavior can be described across different settings and times.

How much of the Earth’s surface do deserts cover and where do they occur? What are the four major types of desert?
Dominik [7]

Of the total Earth's surface, approximately 20 percent is covered with deserts. The majority of the desert takes place in the area band situated along the 30 degrees latitude in North and 30 degrees latitude in the south. Even some of the deserts are also situated in the regions of mountains.  

There are four prime kinds of desert found in the planet. These are:  

1. Subtropical deserts: They are the hottest deserts. They are found in Africa, Asia, North America, and South America.  

2. Coastal deserts: They occur in cool to warm regions along the coast like the Atacama Desert in Chile and Namib Desert in Africa.  

3. Cold winter deserts: They are also known as semi-arid deserts. The Great Basin, the Colorado Plateau, and the Red desert are all cold winter deserts.  

4. Polar deserts: They are found in the Antarctic and Arctic regions.
