In some instances, the levels of LDL cholesterol exceed the ability of the body to maintain homeostasis, and as a result, the ex

cess material accumulates into fatty deposits that harden into plaques. Arrange in the correct order the sequence of events that leads to this condition, known as atherosclerosis:1) The plaques harden, blocking the flow of blood in major arteries.2) White blood cells become engorged with fatty deposits.3) Excess LDL cholesterol accumulates in the interior of arterial walls.4) Macrophages are drawn to this site.

Answer:

The correct order is 3, 4, 2 and 1.

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis refers to the condition in which the plaque gets accumulate within the blood vessels' walls. In the condition, inflammation occurs in the arteries' inner lining. The following is the sequence of events that results in atherosclerosis is:  

1. A huge concentration of LDL cholesterol gets gathered within the inner walls of the arteries.  

2. This causes discharging of macrophages to the site.  

3. The engorgement of WBCs takes place with fatty deposits.  

4. The hardening of plaques takes place, which eventually prevents the flow of blood in the prime arteries.

3. How can we use what we know about cell membranes to treat disease?
laiz [17]

The cell membrane slows the movement of water into or out of the cell and this is vital when treating diseases.

<h3>What is a cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane provides protection for a cell and also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. It transports nutrients into the cell and transports toxic substances out of the cell.

The cell membrane is simply one of the major barriers that pathogens need to conquer e.g. a virus first needs to attach itself to the cell membrane and injects its genetic material into the host cell before replication.

Estrogens passively diffuse across the plasma membrane and then bind to their receptor proteins in the cytoplasm of the target cells.

When estrogen enters the nucleus, it binds to the estrogen receptor, causing it to pair up and form a dimer. Then this dimer then binds to several dozen specific sites in the DNA, strategically placed next to the genes that need to be activated.

Compare the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the cell membrane. (4 marks)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Molecules naturally disperse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration.

As oxygen-rich (and carbon dioxide-poor) blood travels by a cell the oxygen diffuses through the cell membrane to the area of lower concentration inside the cell. It can do this easily because the oxygen molecule (O2) is very small and has no charge or polarity. The oxygen is used up rapidly by mitochondria. This rapid consumption causes oxygen to constantly move into the cell from the blood.

The mitochondria creates carbon dioxide (CO2) as a waste product of cellular respiration (the process that makes energy for your body). Because the CO2 is of a higher concentration in the cell than in the blood passing by, this gas continually diffuses out of the cell. It too is small and uncharged so it can pass through cell membranes easily.

These movements require no energy (in the form of ATP) on behalf of the cell.

Aerobic respiration<span>, a process that uses oxygen, and </span>anaerobic respiration, a process thatdoesn't<span> use oxygen, are two forms of cellular respiration. Although some cells may engage in just one type of respiration, most cells use both types, depending on an organism's needs. Cellular respiration also occurs outside of macro-organisms, as chemical processes — for example, in fermentation. In general, respiration is used to eliminate waste products and generate energy.</span>

You are on standby at a sporting event when an infant nearby suddenly begins to cough
fiasKO [112]
<span>When you are on standby and it happens that a nearby infant suddenly begins to cough, you need to give your attention to the infant just to check the infants’ condition.  If you have the medical knowledge, you can assess the infant by checking if there is an obstruction to his/her mouth and if it is conscious. Then, you can give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts to remove the object.</span>
