Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints?

Chemistry
1 answer:
umka21 [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

You have selected your two primers and added all of the PCR components to a test tube. Use the answer choices [A-C] to explain w
tankabanditka [31]

Hi. You did not provide any response options. However, a PCR reaction proceeds as follows.

After the primers are added to the test tube containing the PCR components. This tube is placed in a device called a thermocycler. At that moment, the stage called denaturation will begin, where the thermocycler increases the temperature to the point of breaking the hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands of DNA together. The thermal cycler increases the temperature up to 96°C.

After that, the second step of the reaction begins. At that moment, the thermal cycler lowers the temperature to 55º - 65ºC, which is the ideal temperature for the primers to be able to attach themselves to the DNA strands, preparing them for the presence of the polymerase.

After that, the thermocycler raises the temperature to 72ºC, which is the ideal temperature for the DNA polymerase to work. At this stage, the DNA polymerase will use the DNA strand and the primer to build a new DNA strand, which will be annealed to the DNA strand used as a template.

These three steps will be repeated about 35 times, generating many copies of DNA.

Which statements describing chemical and nuclear reactions are true?
alexdok [17]

Answer is: 2. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons and 5. Isotopes of the same element behave differently in a nuclear reaction.

1) The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction.

2) Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions.

3) Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed.

4) Chemical reactions require heat or an input of energy to occur, this is activation energy.

5) Isotopes of the same element behave differently in a nuclear reaction, because isotopes have different number of neutrons, so products of a nuclear reaction is different.

Enter the net ionic equation, including phases, for the reaction of AgNO3(aq) with K2SO4(aq). Solubility Rules are found here.
wel
<span>In ionic equations, the chemicals are written as the ions which are dissolved in water.
 
AgNO</span>₃<span>(aq) reacts with K</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span>(aq) and produces Ag</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span>(s) and KNO</span>₃<span>(aq). The balanced complete ionic reaction is
2Ag</span>⁺<span>(aq) + NO</span>₃⁻<span>(aq) +2K</span>⁺<span>(aq) + SO</span>₄²⁻<span>(aq) → Ag</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span>(s) +2K</span>⁺<span>(aq) + NO</span>₃⁻<span>(aq)
 
K</span>⁺<span>(aq) and NO</span>₃⁻<span>(aq) present in both sides. Hence, we can cut off them to find net ionic equation. So, net ionic equation is
2Ag⁺(aq) + SO₄</span>²⁻<span>(aq) → Ag₂SO₄(s)</span>
