Sodium in the Body

Sodium is an essential nutrient but is something that the body cannot produce itself. It plays a vital role in the regulation of many bodily functions and is contained in body fluids that transport oxygen and nutrients. It is also essential in maintaining the body’s overall fluid balance.
To survive everyone needs to consume Sodium regularly. It is a principal component of a person’s internal environment – the extracelluar fluid. Nutrients reach your body’s cells through these fluids. Sodium facilitates many bodily functions including fluid volume and acid-base balance.
An adult human body contains about 250g of salt and any excess is naturally excreted by the body.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a) properties of the molecule as a result of abnormal interactions between adjacent hemoglobin molecules

Explanation:

In sickle cell disease, for example, a nonpolar amino acid (valine) replaces a polar amino acid (glutamate). This substitution of amino acids reduces the hemoglobin’s water solubility. The mutated hemoglobin molecules form long, stiff and rod-like crystals inside red blood cells which are otherwise not formed by normal hemoglobin molecules.

These abnormal crystals of hemoglobin cause the deformation of RBCs making them sickle-shaped that cannot properly squeeze through narrow blood vessels. Therefore, the substitution of single amino acid results in abnormal interaction of two or more hemoglobin molecules that are not exhibited by normal hemoglobin molecules.
