After giving her dog a bath, a young girl suddenly died. The flea dip she was using on the dog contains a chemical called roteno

ne which inhibits the function of an enzyme that oxidizes NADH to NAD+. Her autopsy revealed massive cell death in her internal organs and damage to her mitochondria. The levels of NAD+ were very low and the levels of NADH were very high in her mitochondria. What part of cellular respiration was affected by the rotenone (1 pt)? How could this have led to her death (1 pt)?

In spite of the fact that this situation is probably not going to occur, rotenone is poisonous in light of the fact that it meddles with the electron transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria, so NADH would develop as recommended.

Ans.

The rotenone is toxic chemical, which targets electron transport chain of cellular respiration, during which NADH are oxidized to NAD+ provide energy for ATP synthesis. It inhibits electron transfer from complex I (iron-sulfur center) to ubiquinone.

The increased amount of NADH is increased in girl's cell as NADH does not get oxidized into NAD+, due to rotenone. As electron transport provides energy for ATP synthesis, inhibition of electron transport chain results in no ATP synthesis.

ATP molecules act as energy-providing molecules for all cellular activities. So, lack of ATP molecules results in death as cells lack energy to perform biological functions.

Thus, the part of girl's cellular respiration, affected by rotenone was electron transport chain and her death was caused due to inhibition of ATP synthesis.

When transporting donated platelet units, what is the maximum amount of time that agitation of platelets can be stopped for

24 hours is the maximum amount of time that agitation of platelets can be stopped.

<h3>What are platelets?</h3>

Platelets are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. It can be problematic to have platelets that are too many, too few, or aren't functioning properly.

Platelets' main job is to stop and prevent bleeding. The body sends signals to platelets that direct them to the affected location when a blood artery is damaged. Adults typically have between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood, which is considered normal. Less than 150,000 platelets per microliter indicate a low platelet count. People with thrombocytopenia have low platelet levels. We can bleed heavily and bruise easily if our platelet counts are low.
