False. If you search in Google Scholar or some other database using these keywords, you will see countless empirical, peer-reviewed research studies showing how healthcare providers are significantly influenced by their implicit biases regarding obese patients, leading to healthcare disparities.

Implicit bias refers to our unconscious decisions and perceptions of people, and if you want to learn more about it, I highly suggest you visit Harvard's Project Implicit online.

While implicit bias is pervasive, there still are some healthcare workers who are more explicitly biased towards their obese patients. This is also a serious problem.

Disruption of axonal transport would be a good target for his drug.

<h3>What is disruption of axonal transport?</h3>
  • Axonal transport defects are among the early molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • Gene expression profiles indicate that dynactin-1 mRNA is downregulated in degenerating spinal motor neurons of autopsied patients with sporadic ALS.
  • Disruption of axonal transport also underlies the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy and hereditary spastic paraplegias.
  • The neurotoxin β,β′-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) selectively disrupts slow axonal transport without affecting fast anterograde or retrograde axonal transport.
  • Impairment of slow axonal transport causes a proximal accumulation of neurofilaments.
  • Because neurofilaments regulate axonal diameter, this accumulation leads to a marked swelling of the axon.
  • Acrylamide causes decreased axonal transport, also causing proximal accumulations of neurofilaments and swelling.

4. What does the term denatured mean with respect to proteins?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Explanation: Denaturation, in biology, process modifying the molecular structure of a protein. Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state.
