Blood viscosity is the friction red blood cells encounter when moving past each other.
Blood viscosity is the biophysical property of blood which describes its state of being thick, and sticky as a result of internal friction. Blood viscosity determines how red blood cells moves through the blood vessels. The main factors that determine blood viscosity are; hematocrit, plasma viscosity and red blood cell deformability and aggregation.
Answer:
The correct answer is "Glycogen stores would be depleted first, then stored lipids, and then structural proteins."
Explanation:
When an individual starts starving, the glycogen store is depleted first because that is the storage form of glucose. After depletion of the glycogen, the body then burns fat reserves in the body which are also good sources of calories. After prolonged period of starvation, the body then converts structural proteins (usually in the form of glucogenic amino acids) into fuels for energy.
It should be noted that NOT all the glycogen are used up immediately because the brain cells and the red blood cells prefer energy from glucose and hence the body reserves some glycogen strictly for them.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mutation is a sudden heritable change in the genome of an organism.
Substitution is a form of mutation whereby a base pair is been substitued for by another base pair resulting in a serious damage.
Codon are three alphabeth coding for a particular amino acid.
When substitution occurs in a base pair and the replacement forms a protein that has the same function as the one that was removed there will be no observable in the phenotype. Hence, If the adenine in the 15th position of the sequence is changed to a guanine, the person may not have cystic fibrosis.
But when a particular base pair is substituted for and an entirely new protein or amino acids results with a different functions and structure it could lead to a serious damage or healthy issue. Hence, If the adenine in the 15th position of the sequence is changed to a guanine, the person does have cystic fibrosis.
