Sickle cell anemia occurs when it is passed down from the parents. It is a look diese. It is caused by when 2 parents inherit 2 abnormal genes. It's when the blood cells change shape. Pediatrics use amniocentesis to see if the baby has missing chromosomes hat cause Down syndrome in early pregnancy

Which of the following stages of cellular respiration involve cytochromes?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A. III only

Explanation:

Cytochromes are found only in the mitochondrial membrane as part of the electron transport chain. They are vital to the downward cascade of energy as electrons are passed from the NAD+ and FAD produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle into the electron transport chain to eventually produce ATP.

The thoracic duct returns excess fluid, termed lymph, from below the thorax and the left side of the body to the ____________ ,
8090 [49]

Answer: left subclavian vein, right subclavian vein

Explanation: The thoracic duct carrying lymph empties into a large vein which is located at the left side of the neck. Its called the left subclavian vein. Also the right subclavian vein empties into a large vein found in the right side of the neck, itz called the right subclavian vein.

The probability of a ___________ channel being open is controlled by the membrane potential.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.

All cells need energy to live. How do the organelles in the plant cell above work together to get and use this energy?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

chloroplast: makes food for plant cells, photosynthesis

mitochondria:produces energy the cell needs to carry out its functions; release energy

vacuole: stores food, water, and waste

lysosome: found mainly in animal cells, digests old cell parts

endoplasmic reticulum: carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to the other

cytoplasm: gel -like fluid where the organelles are found

nucleolus: makes ribosomes, center of the nucleus

ribosome: makes proteins

cell membrane:controls

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure the answer is D based on the info above,and because its the only one that has the correct information about the cell parts

hope its correct
