A child presents with bone deficiency and a bowlegged appearance. This assessment data supports a diagnosis of:

a) Rickets

b) Osteoporosis

c) Osteomalacia

d) Paget disease

Answer:

a) Rickets

Explanation:

Rickets occurs at the early stage of childhood due to inadequate vitamin D.

Vitamin D provides the body with higher absorption rate of calcium and phosphorus, inadequate intake of Vitamin D results into low calcium and phosphorus levels in the bones, as a result, rickets sets in.

Rickets is a disarrangement of impaired mineralization of cartilaginous growth plates in children. It can also result from lack of exposure to sunlight.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

A. The bacteria are breaking down sugars in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organims. These organisms may produce their own source of chemical energy, or consume and absorb chemical energy made by producers.

They break down chemical energy like glucose through lactic acid fermentation in their cytoplasm, without the presence of oxygen.

In Glycolysis:

2 molecules of ATP are used to break up glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. Since 2 ATP are used, a net 2ATP are produced by this process.

Then, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid, producing 2 NAD+, used as electron carriers.

Simply, transcription is a copy of __________
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

b. mRNA from DNA

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using a DNA template strand. The process of transcription occurs inside the nucleus in eukaryotes as their DNA is present in the nucleus.

The process includes unwinding of DNA double helix to expose the DNA template strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the specific start sites on the DNA template strand and starts making its RNA copy.

The newly formed RNA undergoes modification in eukaryotes before serving as a template for protein synthesis. However, in prokaryotes, the process of transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.

Water can act as either a(n) _____ or a _____. acid, base solute, solvent anion, cation salt, mixture
IgorC [24]
Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a  compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.
