What does hematocrit measure?

Biology
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is a  Hematocrit measure the time for erytrhocytes to settle to the bottom of the upright tube at room temperature.

Explanation:

Hematocrit is the measurement of  percentage of red blood cells or RBC  in a given blood sample.The normal RBC percentage  in blood  of male is 40 percent to 50 percent and in case of female blood is 36 percent -44 percent .

                  The measurement of RBC of a blood sample is very much important because RBC performs the main function of blood that is to transport oxygen and carbon di oxide to and from the body.

                         Hematocrit is done to test anemia(decreased percentage of RBC) and Polycythemia(increased percentage of red blood cells ).

Kobotan [32]

Answer: Carbon dioxide and also bring in more oxygen for supporting the aerobic metabolism

Explanation:

 The aerobic metabolism is one of the type of process in which the body basically helps in creating the energy in our body by the process of combustion of the fats and carbohydrates in the oxygen presence.

According to the given scenario, when we doing exercise the breath become more faster and at that specific time it is very important to expel the carbon dioxide and then inhale more oxygen for supporting the aerobic metabolism in the our body system.

 Therefore, The given answer is correct.

Cite particularly the difference in the synthesis of the two biomolecules in animals and plants.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The preceding section reviewed the major metabolic reactions by which the cell obtains and stores energy in the form of ATP. This metabolic energy is then used to accomplish various tasks, including the synthesis of macromolecules and other cell constituents. Thus, energy derived from the breakdown of organic molecules (catabolism) is used to drive the synthesis of other required components of the cell. Most catabolic pathways involve the oxidation of organic molecules coupled to the generation of both energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADH). In contrast, biosynthetic (anabolic) pathways generally involve the use of both ATP and reducing power (usually in the form of NADPH) for the production of new organic compounds. One major biosynthetic pathway, the synthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O during the dark reactions of photosynthesis, was discussed in the preceding section. Additional pathways leading to the biosynthesis of major cellular constituents (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) are reviewed in the sections that follow.

Go to:

Carbohydrates

In addition to being obtained directly from food or generated by photosynthesis, glucose can be synthesized from other organic molecules. In animal cells, glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis) usually starts with lactate (produced by anaerobic glycolysis), amino acids (derived from the breakdown of proteins), or glycerol (produced by the breakdown of lipids). Plants (but not animals) are also able to synthesize glucose from fatty acids—a process that is particularly important during the germination of seeds, when energy stored as fats must be converted to carbohydrates to support growth of the plant. In both animal and plant cells, simple sugars are polymerized and stored as polysaccharides.

Gluconeogenesis involves the conversion of pyruvate to glucose—essentially the reverse of glycolysis. However, as discussed earlier, the glycolytic conversion of glucose to pyruvate is an energy-yielding pathway, generating two molecules each of ATP and NADH. Although some reactions of glycolysis are readily reversible, others will proceed only in the direction of glucose breakdown, because they are associated with a large decrease in free energy. These energetically favorable reactions of glycolysis are bypassed during gluconeogenesis by other reactions (catalyzed by different enzymes) that are coupled to the expenditure of ATP and NADH in order to drive them in the direction of glucose synthesis. Overall, the generation of glucose from two molecules of pyruvate requires four molecules of ATP, two of GTP, and two of NADH. This process is considerably more costly than the simple reversal of glycolysis (which would require two molecules of ATP and two of NADH), illustrating the additional energy required to drive the pathway in the direction of biosynthesis.
