Hemopure is a blood substitute developed by Biopure Corporation.

*consists of hemoglobin, purified from bovine blood, free in the plasma

*binds oxygen in the lungs then delivers oxygen to the body

*cell-free hemoglobin releases the oxygen more quickly than red blood cells

*risk of high blood pressure and heart attacks

*stored at room temperature and compatible with all blood types

Diagnose: Mrs. Harris is a 60 year old white woman. She has noticed in recent years that her height has slightly decreased. Rece

Brut [27]

Answer:

Q: Which skeletal system disorder might she be suffering from?

A: Osteoporosis

Q: What techniques could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: Bone mineral density (BMD) test or dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

Explanation:

The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to osteoporosis.

A bone mineral density test, also known as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses X-rays to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with medicine right away so that it stops further deterioration of the bones and avoid any future bone fractures. Further, it can be handled by eating a healthy diet and supplements such as vitamins D. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are already fractured, surgical approaches might be necessary.

Olin [163]

Answer:

They are ammonia, urea, uric acid, and creatinine. All of these substances are produced from protein metabolism.

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are

labwork [276]

Answer:

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are more organized and condensed.

Explanation:

Chromatin is genetic material packaged into a complex by special proteins (histones). That complex is in the form of uncoiled structures, so chromatin fibers are long and thin. Chromatin structure is permissive to DNA replication, transcription and recombination events.

On the other hand, chromosomes are highly condensed structures of genetic material that are formed just before the cell division.

If A single population of butterflies is separated into two populations by the emergence of a mountain range. How genetic drift,

Alenkasestr [34]

The two resulting populations will evolve and adapt differently over time to the different ranges as the conditions change in both ranges.

Their color, size, lifespan, and consumption choices may change with that.

After all of this takes place, you're left with 2 new breeds/species of butterflies.

Hope I helped :)
