Because of symptoms and age, we would consider some diagnosis of bronchitis due to RSV infection, pneumonia because of Haemophilus influenza infections, and pertussis infection including apnea. Here I can say the answer is pneumonia due to infection of Haemophilus influenza.
The kind of treatment we can give depending on my diagnosis are; high dosage of oral erythromycin to clear the infection bacteria, supportive therapies in hospital in order to maintain blood oxygen levels and in open airways, low dosage of erythromycin which is given intravenously to clear the infection of bacteria which I can say it is the best treatment.
Some of the treatment for the infant to diminish such infection chances are MMR vaccines, toxin antiserum DTaP vaccine, influenza shot which I can recommend for the infant.
The best reason I can say about these conditions and symptoms are associated with pneumonia whereby we can say the low dose of erythromycin which is given intravenously is effective. The best prophylactic treatment is influenza shots.

The FedEx of the cell are the vesicles. Vesicles are the structures in which many cell materials are packed and transported. Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer and they function as cellular envelopes to transport cell materials from one place to another inside the cell. An example of one material is protein. After a particular protein has been synthesized in the ribosomes of the cell, it is packaged in a vesicle called a transport vesicle. The vesicle carries this package to the Golgi apparatus for final tweaking after which it is again repacked in a new vesicle which transports it to its required destination in the cell.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Proteins, large complex molecules, are major building blocks of all living organisms. Discuss the following in relation to proteins.

(a) The chemical composition and levels of structure of proteins.

Proteins are chemically macromolecules formed by manomeric units called amino acids. The structural organization of proteins is as follows:  Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary.

(b) The roles of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis

From DNA, ribosomal RNA is formed, a type of RNA present in ribosomes that is responsible for protein synthesis. Therefore, the role of DNA in protein synthesis is essential: without DNA, there are no proteins.

(c) The roles of proteins in membrane structure and transport of molecules across the membrane

Proteins can work by transporting ions in different ways.

Explanation:

(a) The chemical composition and levels of structure of proteins.

Proteins are chemically macromolecules formed by manomeric units called amino acids, these have in their structure a carboxyl group and amino group, attached to the same carbon. To be assimilated by the body, proteins must be degraded in the amino acids that make them up.

The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds. In those bonds, the amino group of one amino acid reacts with the carboxyl group of the other.

The structural organization of proteins is as follows:

Primary: Sequence of the amino acids in the chain with peptide bonds.

Secondary: Spatial arrangement of the amino acids of a protein. They stabilize by means of hydrogen bonds. There are two types: the propeller a and the folded blade b.

Tertiary: Three-dimensional arrangement of the polypeptide chain, stabilized by forces of Waals.

Quaternary: Union of weak bonds of arias polypeptic chains that originate a protein complex.

(b) The roles of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis

RNA fulfills numerous functions, the most important being protein synthesis, in which it copies the genetic order contained in the DNA to use it as a standard in the manufacture of proteins and enzymes and various substances necessary for the cell and the organism. For this, it goes to the ribosomes, which operate as a kind of molecular protein factory, and it does so following the pattern that the DNA prints on it.

(c) The roles of proteins in membrane structure and transport of molecules across the membrane

The cells contain proteins that are embedded in the lipid bilayer of their plasma membranes. These proteins can work by transporting ions in different ways. Then, most of the water-soluble ions and molecules are unable to spontaneously cross the lipid bilayer of the membrane (which act as a barrier) and require the concurrence of special carrier proteins or protein channels. In this way the cell maintains concentrations of ions and small molecules different from those prevailing in the external environment.

The distribution of melanosomes in cells is tightly regulated in animals that rapidly change color. dark-colored cells have mela
kipiarov [429]

Microtubules originate on the centre of the cell taking the positive end to the periphery of the cell, while the negative end remains turned to the centre of the cell. The melanosomes move along these microtubules using motor proteins desiganted kinesins and dyneins. The kinesins are responsible for moving the melanosomes to the positive end of the microtubule (periphery of the cell) generating dark-colored cells, whereas dyneins move the melanosomes to the negative end of the microtubule (centre of the cell) generating light-colored cells.
