Medicine

s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

C) substitutions that reduce the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

Explanation:

Heinz bodies are inclusions in the eritrocite, filled by denaturalized globin (protein part of the hemoglobin). Hemoglobin is formed by 4 globin subunits (2 alpha chains and 2 beta chains) plus a heme group. The latter, is responsible for oxygen binding.

The denaturalization of the globin is caused by substitutions that do not allow the protein to fold properly and bind the heme group accordingly. This is the cause of the Heinz bodies in the eritrocite. Therefore, this is a structural problem that impedes the protein to fold into a functional protein and has nothing to do with hemoglobin having less affinity for oxygen. In the last mentioned case, the protein is still functional but poorly binds oxygen, hence, does not for Heinz bodies.

How does caring for a person with Alzheimer's
spin [16.1K]

Answer: caring for a person with alzheimer's can affect family in all kinds of ways

Explanation: financially alzheimer's affects  a family member by then paying for the treatments for the person with alzheimer's and may have to stop working in order to care for that person . phsically it could be a lot of work to deal with an alzheimer's patient alone without help . Emotionally it could affect the family member because alzheimer's is a disease that only effects older adults destroys the memory , thinking skills , and ability to carry on simple task , so the alzheimer's patient wouldn't even  remember the person that is caring for them after a couple of minutes . the family member caring for the alzheimer's patient would probably be devastated . societies today could create donations to get the treatments to provide for the people with the alzheimer's disease .

 i hope this helps !! :)
