Choose the correct answers that should go within the blanks (answer choices are next to blank in parenthesis) Pregnant women hav

e nutrient needs that differ from non-pregnant women. Some of these needs should be met even before pregnancy in order to decrease the risk of complications. The following scenario demonstrates a woman at-risk for pregnancy complications. Lori is a vegan who believes she gets all the nutrients she needs from her diet. She has never taken supplements, even when she was pregnant. Her baby, Mason, was born full-term, but with a small portion of his spinal cord protruding through his vertebrae, resulting in partial paralysis of his legs. This neural tube defect, called _______ (anencephaly, spina bifida) may have been caused by Lori’s insufficient intake of ____ (calcium, vitamin B12) during pregnancy. This micronutrient is necessary for regenerating the active form of ____ (zinc, folate) .

Answer: SPINAL BIFIDA.

VITAMIN 12

FOLATE

Explanation:

Spina bifida is a birth defect caused by incomplete closure of the local region of the neural tube or to failure in the formation of neural aches during embryo development.

Common location is the lower back.somtimes it may be at the neck..

Types are : spina bifida occulta, and myelomeningocele.

Complications from.this condition are iinability to walk,Hydrocephalus,learning problems.

The causes of this condition is both genetic and environmental.

Lack of foliate in mother’s diet before and during the pregnancy is one of the major cause.Foliate intake reduces the.occurrence of this condition by 70%.However the mechanism of how Foliate prevented this is unknown.

Other causes are Alcohol intake poorly treated diabetes, and obesity in pregnant women.

Which of the following situations does diffusion not help, in our bodies?A. Oxygen entering the bloodstream.B. Food entering the
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Glucose entering the intestines from the villus.This is by active transport.The latter is defined as the movement of molecules and  solutes from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

All the above options depends on the diffusion gradients from one  higher region to another.e.g oxygen passing from high concentration from outside to lower concentration in blood stream,like wise Co2 from higher concentration from inside to outside,with passive diffusion lipids and water enter the small intestine(note amino acid and glucose,and fructose are different).

Active transport( through sodium dependent transporter) transports glucose to the intestine  from the villus.This is movements against concentration gradient because,glucose molecule are concentrated in intestine,and needed by the cells, in the body.Therefore they must be transported as a fast rate inn the blood .

However the absorption by the villi is very slow,therefore active transport is needed to move these against the concentration gradient into the intestine.And finally the blood.

If this were to be moved by  passive diffusion,the high concentration in the intestine will force this back into the villi

Therefore extra energy is needed by active transport for the glucose molecules to enter the intestine from the villus.

Marcia is given an incomplete chemical equation that includes the number of nitrogen atoms present in the products of the reacti
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

She can conclude that the reaction started with three nitrogen atoms because she can be based in the law of conservation of matter which states that the amount of matter in a system is conserved: there were three atoms of nitrogen in the reactants and they produced three atoms of nitrogen.

Explanation:

In science, a law is a general statement that explains a large number of observations. One law that provides the foundation for understanding in chemistry is the law of conservation of matter: it states that in any given system that is closed to the transfer of matter (in and out), the amount of matter in the system stays constant, or in other words, the amount of matter in a system is conserved.

So, in this case, for Marcia to conclude that the reaction started with three nitrogen atoms, she can be based in the law of conservation of matter, and because the matter of that system is conserved, there were three atoms of nitrogen in the reactants and they produced three atoms of nitrogen.
