Answer:

Females of reproductive age lose iron through menstrual blood

Explanation:

Iron is an essential micronutrient involved in the formation of hemoglobin, myoglobin and many enzymatic groups. Moreover, hemochromatosis is a genetically inherited disorder caused by mutations in genes associated with the processes of absorption, transport and storage of iron. The excess of iron is stored in different organs (e.g., liver, heart, pancreas, etc), causing characteristic tissue damage. During each menstrual cycle, women and girls suffer a blood loss of approximately 40 ml, which is associated with an average loss of 1.6 mg of iron. In consequence, it is expected that women of reproductive age (ie, 15–49 years) lose iron during their menstrual periods, thereby avoiding iron overload caused by hemochromatosis.

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.

explain how a carrier protein can facilitate the diffusion of glucose or other substances into the cell.
Sveta_85 [38]

Specific chemicals are bound by carrier proteins and transferred on one side of the membrane. The conformational changes they go through next enable the molecule to cross the membrane and exit on the other side.

How carrier protein facilitate the diffusion?

When a molecule diffuses, it usually moves from a high concentration location to a low concentration area until the concentration is the same everywhere in the space.

Contrary to channel proteins, another form of membrane transport protein that is less selective in the molecules it transports, carriers are proteins that move a particular material through intracellular compartments, into the extracellular fluid, or across cells. Carrier proteins are found in lipid bilayer cell structures such cell membranes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, just like other membrane transport proteins.

Therefore, carrier proteins can facilitate the diffusion of glucose or other substances into the cell.

Please help!
Otrada [13]

I do not understand your question fully because there might be some context missing to it:

Having more nuclei is not something caused by the lack of a process or stage. Some muscle cells usually fuse together, which means they become one. But before they became one, each had their own nuclei. And when they fused, each one kept their nuclei, making one cell with more than one nuclei.


Those cells are called multinucleated cells.




Hope it helped,

4. Which pathway represents the flow of electrons during photosynthesis? (1 point) A.) H2O &gt; Photosystem I &gt; Photosystem I
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

4. The correct pathway for the flow of electron during photosynthesis is mentioned in option D. H_{2}O > <em>NADP </em>> <em>Calvin cycle.</em>

  • Electron is first provided to the photo-system II by the phtolysis of water.
  • Then it is passed to photo-system I with the help of plastoquinone (PQ) and cytochrome b_{6}f.
  • Finally, electron from the photo-system II is used to reduce NADP to NADPH.
  • NADPH and ATP are used in light independent phase or Calvin cycle to synthesize carbohydrate from carbon dioxide.

5. The correct answer is B.) photosynthesis.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize glucose or carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • In light independent phase of photosynthesis, it requires ATP and NADPH  in order to synthesize food.
  • Lastly, oxidation or breaking down of glucose releases energy and photosynthesis is a anabolic process instead of catabolic one.
