Answer;
High content of sodium.

A drawback to the use of the antacid drugs sodium bicarbonate, alka-seltzer, and baking soda is their high sodium content.

Explanation;
Antacid drugs are weak bases that exert a therapeutic effect by neutralizing hydrochloric acid, thus relieving indigestion, heartburn and hyperacidity. These antacids contain high levels of sodium which could make an individual unwell, especially those that have illness that needs them to control how much salt (sodium) they take in the diet.

Give SOME EXAMPLES OF NATURAL CYCLE CHECKPOINTS .

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

For example, delays in mitosis are often ascribed to 'activation' of the mitotic checkpoint, a descriptor that fails to recognize that the checkpoint by definition is active as the cell starts mitosis. Conversely, the completion of mitosis in the presence of misaligned chromosomes is often automatically interpreted to indicate a defective checkpoint, even though in the absence of critical testing alternative interpretations are equally likely. In this article, we define the critical characteristics of checkpoints and illustrate how confusion generated by the inconsistent use of terminology may impede progress by fostering claims that mean very different things to different researchers. We will illustrate our points with examples from the checkpoint that controls progression through mitosis

Bob, a nutritionist who works for the university medical center, has been asked to prepare special diets for two patients, susan

abruzzese [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Possibly, you forgot to attach the table with the contents of each food. Therefore, I calculated the task with similar values.

1. Assume you have Food A, B, and C. Each has certain amount of Calcium, Iron, and Vit C.

Let's designate: Calcium → X oz , Iron → Y oz, vit C → Z oz

2. Assume you have following amount of Calcium in each food:

Food A = 30 mg/oz
Food B = 25 mg/oz
Food C = 20 mg/oz

3. Assume you have following amount of Iron in each food:

Food A = 1 mg/oz
Food B = 1 mg/oz
Food C = 2 mg/oz

4. Assume you have following amount of vit C in each food:

Food A = 2 mg/oz
Food B = 5 mg/oz
Food C = 4 mg/oz

Calculations:

→ You have 3 different food and each has Calcium in it. You need exactly 320mg of Calcium per day. Therefore, each food would comprise certain proportion of daily Calcium intake. We can come up with equation: 30X+25Y+20Z = 390 mg

Similarly, for iron and vitamin C, the next equations could be used:

X+Y+2Z=17 - Iron

2X+5Y+4Z=42 - Vit C

→ Now you have a system of equations:

30X+25Y+20Z = 390 (1)

X+Y+2Z=17 (2)

2X+5Y+4Z=42 (3)

→ Look for similarities! (1) and (3) seem to be similar. We can multiply the (3) by -5 to obtain: -10X-25Y-20Z=-210. We add the (1) and modified (3) equations.

30X+25Y+20Z = 390

-10X-25Y-20Z=-210

__________________

20X+0+0=180

20X=180

→ X=9 (oz of Calcium)

→ Now, we can put x=9 into equations above to ease our job:

270+25Y+20Z=390 → 25Y+20Z=390-270=120

9+Y+Z=17 → Y+2Z=17-9=8

18+5Y+4Z=42 → 5Y+4Z=42-18=24

→ Similarly, we can use Eq-s (2) and (3). We can multiply the (2) by -5 to obtain: -5Y-10Z=-40. We add the (3) and modified (2) equations.

-5Y-10Z=-40

5Y+4Z=24

__________________

-6Z=-24

Z=4

→ Z=4 (oz of vit C)

→ Now, we can take X+Y+Z=17 (2) and just put in known values(X=9 and Z=4) to obtain Y:

9+Y+4=17

→ Y=17-9-4=4 (oz of Iron)

That's all! So, if you have table values, you can just re-write the equations and doing it stepwise, as it is shown here, you can manage to calculate every value you need :)

B) Hemoglobin is an oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells. Describe the structure of hemoglobin.

likoan [24]

Answer:

B) hemoglobin comprises for subunits each having one polypeptide chain in one heme group. all hemoglobins carry the same prosthetic heme group iron protoporphyrin IX associated with a polypeptide chain of 141(alpha) and 146 (beta) amino acid residues.

C)sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that tells your body to make the iron-rich compound that makes blood red and enables red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs throughout the body (hemoglobin).
