Answer:

1. antibodies

2. hormones

3. kidney stones

4. transport proteins

5. protein-energy malnutrition

6. coenzymes

7. buffer

8. kwashiorkor

Explanation:

1. ANTIBODIES are proteins that aid the immune system in its fight against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substance by binding to them and helping to inactivate or destroy them.

2. HORMONES are substances made of protein or lipid released into the bloodstream in order to direct physiological activity in the body.

3. A high-protein diet can increase the risk of KIDNEY STONES because the body will have an increased acid level.

4. TRANSPORT PROTEINS carry many substances through the blood or allow movement of substances in and out of cells.

5. PROTEIN-ENERGY MALNUTRITION is the phenomenon used to describe an inadequate intake of proteins and/or calorie content.

6. COENZYMES are molecules that play vital roles in the function of an enzyme. Coenzyme in form of vitamins are utilized by enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

7. Proteins can act like BUFFER (a substance with a stable pH) in order to regulate the acid-base balance in the body.

8. KWASHIORKOR is a malnutrition deficiency that result from the insufficiency of dietary protein, resulting in swelling in the feet, legs, and stomach among other symptoms.

Atoms with a low ionization energy give up their outer valence electrons with ease true or false
umka2103 [35]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom.

General equation of ionization energy is given by:

X(g)\rightarrow X^+(g)+e^-

  • If the outermost electron is loosely bound to the nucleus which means that the electron can be easily removed form an atom, it will require less amount of ionization energy.
  • And if the outermost electron is tightly bound to the nucleus which means that the electron cannot be removed easily from an atom. And hence, it will require more ionization energy.

Hence, the given statement is true.

_______ research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disea
nydimaria [60]

<u>Stem cell </u>research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease with considerable progress made in creating dopamine-progressing cells.

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, leads to reduction of dopamine (a neurochemical messenger which carries messages involving thinking and body movements to brain) in the body because the disease will target and kill dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons). This leads to loss of movement and thinking abilities which are activated by dopamine.

Stem cells research is done to study about the prospects of stem cells in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s patients as a viable source of new dopamine nerve cells. Research has been involved in growing stem cells to replace or regenerate dopamine-producing nerve cells by using embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as a treatment modality in Parkinson’s disease.
