Scurvy is a disease that until the nineteenth century was common among sailors and others whose diets were deficient in vitamin
alina1380 [7]
<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

Ceratium fusus is a protist that is found primarily in coastal waters, especially around the coast of the United Kingdom. These
kotykmax [81]

A chemical defense mechanism is called bioluminescence.

As mentioned in the reaction, Ceratium fusus undergoes a special chemical reaction at night which helps them defend themselves from predators. During this reaction, light is produced inside a living organism. However, this type of reaction does not produce heat although it does produce light.

<h3>What is bioluminescence used for?</h3>

The most well-known purpose of bioluminescence is to defend the organism against attacks by predators. This is because the light confuses or frightens predators.

Besides confusing the predator, the light can also alert large predators to approach the location of the organism, in this way this large predator will eat the predator that is threatening the organism which in our question, is Ceratium fusus.

Many marine organisms use the phenomenon of bioluminescence for their defense, in particular marine invertebrates, vertebrates, certain micro-organisms as well as certain fish and fungi.

Hence concluded that the bioluminescence characteristic of Ceratium fusus is being described.
