Question: Suzanne has been having difficulty falling asleep and waking up in the morning. She has also noticed that her appetite has changed and that she has become somewhat more aggressive. What neurotransmitter is MOST likely involved in Suzanne's symptoms?

A. serotonin

B. glutamate

C. dopamine

D. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)

E. acetylcholine

Answer:

"Serotonin" neurotransmitter is MOST likely involved in Suzanne's symptoms

Explanation:

Serotonin is an important chemical and neurotransmitter in the human body. It is believed to help regulate mood and social behavior, appetite and digestion, sleep, memory, and sexual desire and function. There may be a link between serotonin and depression. Serotonin is primarily found in the enteric nervous system located in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). However, it is also produced in the central nervous system (CNS), specifically in the Raphe nuclei located in the brain stem.

The conserved residues in the hemoglobins and myoglobins include the ________ proximal and distal to the heme iron.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Histidine

Explanation:

A heme group is a prosthetic group composed of a protoporphyrin ring and an iron (Fe) atom that binds to oxygen (O2) in hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein in red blood cells (erythrocytes) that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, which is composed of four polypeptide chains, each with a heme group. Moreover, myoglobin is a monomeric protein located mainly in the muscles, which contains one heme group, being thus similar to hemoglobin monomers. The proximal and distal are evolutionarily conserved amino acid (histidine) residues whose names (proximal and distal) refer to their position with the iron (Fe) atom in the heme group. The proximal histidine connects the heme group with the proteins (either in monomeric myoglobin or in one subunit of Hb), whereas distal histidine contributes to stabilize these proteins while carrying O2.

The Vocabulary of Nutrition for Children, Adolescents, and Older Adults
mario62 [17]

Answer:

1. Picky eating; food jag

2. epiphyseal plates

3. bone mineral density (BMD)

4. obesity

5. food insecurity

6. life expectancy

7. arthritis

8. congregate meal

Explanation:

Picky eating is a behavior in early childhood when they refuse to eat certain foods and only want the same foods, while food jag is when a child only eats a small group of foods, meal after meal. The epiphyseal plate is a specialized layer of hyaline cartilage where chondrocytes (i.e., the only cells found in healthy cartilage) proliferate and differentiate during longitudinal bone growth. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints caused by different reasons (e.g., injury, genetic causes, infections, immune system dysfunction, etc), whose risk increases with age. Bone mineral density (also known as bone density), is the amount of mineral in bone tissues, being the best manner to measure bone health. Obesity can be defined as an excessive amount of body fat that presents a risk to health. Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of obesity has doubled in children and tripled in adolescents, representing a serious health problem (especially in developed countries). Moreover, food insecurity is a social condition of limited access to food for individuals in a household to live an active, healthy life, which can be used as a metric of how many people cannot afford food. Life expectancy is an estimation of the number of years a person can expect to live in a given country/region. Life expectancy around the world has increased for nearly 200 years especially due to medical progress and access to food. Finally, a congregate meal refers to a healthy meal provided to anyone age 60 or over that encourages older adults' social connections with other persons at the meal sites.

A researcher is studying a strain of mice that only incorporate 50 percent of the necessary iron into their hemoglobin molecules
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

The hemoglobin is the important protein present in the red blood cells. The hemoglobin molecules helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.

The iron is important for the hemoglobin molecule formation. The deficiency in the iron can cause the abnormal hemoglobin structure. The mice hemoglobin can binds with the only 50% of the oxygen molecules as compared with the wild type mice.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
