Answer:

The shape of the abnormal red blood cells in sickle cell anemia can affect the efficiency of the circulatory system by obstructing the flow of blood through the arteries.

Explanation:

Red blood cells are the cells responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body, and their spherical shape allows them to pass through blood vessels of any calibre.

<u>A red blood cell in sickle cell disease loses its spherical shape</u>, acquiring a half-moon shape, which can lead to its accumulation inside the arteries and produce a blockage, <u>decreasing the efficiency of the circulatory system</u>.  

The arterial obstruction may lead to a decrease in oxygenation in the sites that are irrigated by that artery.

Answer:

Because the cells are sickle shaped, their surface area is decreased. These RBCs likely cannot carry oxygen as effectively as regular blood cells. The shape can cause the cells to get stuck in the blood vessels, creating a blockage.

Una solución de 0.204 M de NaOH seutiliza para neutralizar 50 mL de una solución de H3PO4. Si se necesitaron 16.4 mL de la soluc
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 0.05 M

Explanation:

Para responder esta pregunta, hay que tener en cuenta la Ley de Conservación de la Masa. <u>La misma indica que en una reacción química en un sistema cerrado, la masa total de las moléculas que participan permanece constante.</u> Esto significa que la masa utilizada en los reactivos es la misma que la masa de los productos generados.

En este problema, se cuenta con una solución de NaOH (hidróxido de sodio) tiene una molaridad de 0.204 (siendo la molaridad el número de moles por litro de solución) y se utilizan 16.4 mL de dicha solución para agregarla a 50 mL de una solución de H3PO4 (ácido fosfórico).

Entonces, ya que la masa de ambas soluciones no se pierde, podemos utilizar la ecuación de la Ley de Conservación de la Masa:

Concentración inicial x Volumen inicial = Concentración final x Volumen final.

Concentración inicial: 0.204 M

Volumen inicial: 16.4 mL

Concentración final: ?

Volumen final: 50 mL + 16.4 mL = 66.4 mL

Reemplazamos los valores en la ecuación:

0.204 M x 16.4 mL = Concentración final x 66.4 mL

La molaridad de la solución de H3PO4 es de 0.05 M.
