Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. People with sickle cell anemia were born with a defective

gene that results in sickle-shaped red blood cells. Individuals with the disease often suffer pain in their extremities due to the build-up of these cells causing blockages in the blood vessels. The shape of the blood cells also reduces the amount of oxygen transported in the blood.
The image below shows a side-by-side comparison of normal and sickle-shaped red blood cells.

Which part of the nervous system is outside the brain and spinal cord?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is: the peripheral nervous system.

Explanation:

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is one of the two anatomical divisions of the nervous system. The PNS is composed of nerves and ganglia that are outside of the brain and spinal cord.

The function of the PNS is to <u>transmit the information from the body to the Central Nervous System and vice-versa</u>.

Unlike the CNS, the PNS is <u>not protected by bones</u> so it's much more exposed to mechanical injuries.

Which of the following best describes the main purpose of the combined processes of glycolysis and cellular respiration?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is  conserving the energy of glucose and related molecules in chemical form that the cell can use for work

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an important process of cellular respiration.it occurs in the cytoplasm.

           Glycolysis deals with the break down of glucose and formation of  2 molecules of ATP along with pyruvate.pyruvate then enter into miticondria to carry out the TCA cycle which result in the formation of ATP, NADH,FADH2   and oxaloacetate. NADH is also formed during Glycolysis.

                 In the final process of aerobic respiration known as oxidative phosphorylation the reducing agents such as NADH and FAFH2 are oxidized by liberating electrons and phosphorylation of ADP occurs by the energy generated by proton motive force resulting in the formation of ATP.

          The so formmed ATP is a high energy compound which is utilized by our body to carry out  various process such as muscle contraction ,fatty acid biosynthesis etc.

Why did artificial selection interest darwin?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<span>To prove his Theory of Evolution. After studying the different species of finches he found the Galapagos Islands, Darwin focused on breeding pigeons by selecting specific traits of different individuals (this is mainly a method through which different kinds of dog breeds came about). On the basis of these studies Darwin concluded that natural selection and artificial selection acted roughly in the same way. Darwin's decision to enforce a certain trait represented, in a sense, the selective pressure which is present in a natural environment (the law of the fittest).<span>
