AIDS attacks white blood cells, damaging the immune system and making the infected individual more susceptible to illness. White blood cells are the ones that fight off harmful bacteria, so without them you could even end up in the hospital or die from a common cold.

Answer:

Why would a person with AIDS be in more danger from common colds

AIDS attacks white blood cells

Explanation:

HIV is a viral infection that later develops into AIDS if not properly managed, it is caused by a virus that attacks the white blood cells which protects the body against infection, once the white blood cells is damaged or attacked there would be room for opportunistic infection from other foreign materials that enters the body.

What means RNA and it shape in the biology
MaRussiya [10]

The Answer is ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.

RNA is typically single stranded and is made of ribonucleotides that are linked by phosphodiester bonds.

I hope this helps you:)

List tim''s symptoms and identify the organ system (or specific organ) associated with those symptoms. (your may need to referen
pantera1 [17]
1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

There are four major biological molecules called biomolecules in nature namely; carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. These four molecules form the bedrock upon which life is built. The biomolecules mentioned above are POLYMERS formed as a result of the combination of two or more simpler molecules called MONOMERS in a process called CONDENSATION.

The monomer of each polymeric biomolecule is as follows;

Carbohydrates - monosaccharides

Proteins - amino acids

Nucleic acids - nucleotides

Lipids - fatty acids (hydrocarbon chains)
