In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
Option A, B, D are only applicable for steroid hormones ( hydrophobic)
So the answer is C
The mass of the star actually determines the stage of the
star after supernova. If the mass of the star is small, then it would become a
very small and dwarf, cold and dead body in space. The mass of the star has to
be less than that of the sun. If the mass of the star is greater than sun, then
it would become a black hole. The mass of the star has to be more than 1.4
times the mass of the sun to become a black hole.
The choices are:
<span>A. Matrix protein
B. Hemagglutinin
C. An ion channel
D. Neuraminidase
</span>
The right answer is B. Hemaglutinin
Explanation:
Haemagglutinins are triangular rods. They allow the attachment of Influenzaviruses on the target cells of the respiratory tree. In the presence of red blood cells, a haemagglutination (liquid medium) is obtained.
<u>About the other components of Influenza virus:</u>Neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped spike composed of a tetramer consisting of 4 subunits of a single glycoprotein. At 37 ° C, the neuraminidase destroys the bonds (virus - cells) and thus allows the release of neoformed virions in the external environment: it is elution.
The membrane protein M and the protein subunits of the nucleocapsid are antigenic and are the basis of the classification of Influenzavirus types A, B and C. They induce the synthesis of non-protective antibodies fixing the complement.
Answer: dinosaurs and birds
Plentiful collection of f<span>ossils of early birds and their most immediate predecessors has settled the century-old controversy about the origin of birds. Birds are now safely declared to evolve from a group of dinosaurs known as maniraptoran theropods. Birds have similar shape of the bones as a variety of maniraptorans have. A host of fossils have shown also that the maniraptorans lay looked alike eggs as that of birds and they resemble the birds in the way they laid their eggs also. Those reasons prove that they are most closely related.</span><span>
