<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

14. It would indirect and 15. Direct
There's no land at the North Pole Instead it's all ice that's floating on top of the Arctic Ocean. ... Multi-year ice is thicker and has survived at least one melt season, whereas first-year ice is much thinner. Arctic sea ice usually reaches its minimum around mid-September each year.
Air mass is a large body of air that exhibits uniform temperature and moisture characteristics and helps to determine the weather within an area. Warm air masses tend to form over oceans in warm-temperature regions of the tropics and sub-tropics, while cold air masses tend to form over land in cold-weather regions nearer the poles. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles. These air masses can undergo gradual, but significant, changes as they pass over warmer or colder land surfaces encountering different types of air. These boundary lines are called front.
Brainliest would be appreciated.
