A condition in which inadequate intake of vitamin b12 or folic acid causes production of large abnormal red blood cells is calle

The correct answer is "megaloblastic anemia".

In the event of deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12, there will be inhibition of DNA synthesis in red blood cell precursors as well as other cells in the myeloid lineage. This results to continuous cell growth without cell division leading to large, immature red blood cells (hence the term megaloblastic) with low hemoglobin levels. Vitamin B12 deficiency particularly causes neuropathic symptoms such as neuropathic pain and numbness.

If megaloblastic anemia is caused by the resection of the portion of stomach that produces the intrinsic factor (important in the absorption of vitamin B12), then the condition is called pernicious anemia.

Explain how health care professionals treat unregulated (or abnormal) cellular growth in the body
Alexeev081 [22]

New cells are typically produced during cell division. Cell division is a complex process that is regulated and checked at many points. Due to varying factors, the cell regulation mechanism may become non functional and this usually result in abnormal cell growth and division.

An abnormal cell growth may be cancerous or non cancerous. The best thing to do when one notices an abnormal growth in his body is to go and see the doctor. The doctors will administer appropriate test in order to determine the type of tumor that is present. If the tumor is non cancerous it will be removed by minor surgery. In case the tumor is cancerous, appropriate treatments will depending on the part of the body where it is found, the stage of growth and nature of the cancerous cells.

The image above shows the natural progression of a forest in a process called ecological succession. If a mature climax forest i
liubo4ka [24]

Explanation:

The community may enter primary succession.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

Like the harvested climax forest, secondary communities do not begin with the removal of soil and all biological life; other species, may be more suited to the altered conditions and begin to modify the area creating a new community.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.

Which weathering process involves physical forces but not chemical
erica [24]

Answer:

<h3>Mechanical weathering, also called physical weathering, breaks rock into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are just like the bigger rock, just smaller. That means the rock has changed physically without changing its composition.</h3>
