If left untreated, the probable lead for hypertension to an
individual is kidney failure. It is because the blood pressure is associated
with the kidneys because the nephrons of the kidneys are being supplied with
the blood vessels dense network and also because of the blood that flows
through it, when there is a presence of hypertension and left untreated, it
could cause the kidney to weaken or harden—causing kidney failure.
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
Answer:
Amount of DNA in a diploid G2 nucleus after S phase has already undergone DNA replication hence the amount of DNA in a diploid nucleus in G1 would be 200 ng. As the organism is diploid, 200 ng of DNA would be carried on 14 chromosomes.
Answer:
Uhm.
Explanation:
'Using hot tap water for drinking or cooking is a no-no, the Environmental Protection Agency warns. That's because hot tap water can leach harmful contaminants like lead from your home's service pipes into the water you might be drinking or using to prepare hot foods.'
Answer:
B. nuclease (destroys DNA and RNA)
Explanation:
Viruses are the particles that contain a protein coat called the capsid. Inside the capsid, viruses have their genetic material. Viruses may have single-stranded or double-stranded DNA molecules or single-stranded or double-stranded RNA molecules as their genetic material. Therefore, to destroy viruses, one must target their genetic material. Nucleases are enzymes that digest nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The use of nucleases would destroy the genetic material of viruses and would be most effective to control them.
