Medicine

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 long is the antibiotic azithromycin in your system after last dose?.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Azithromycin will be in your system for <u>around 15.5 days</u>, after the last dose.

Explanation:

Azithromycin has an elimination half-life of 68 hours. The prolonged terminal half-life is thought to be due to extensive uptake and subsequent release of drug from tissues. It takes around 5.5 x elimination half life's for a medicine to be out of your system. Therefore it would take 374 hours about 15.5 days (5.5 x 68 hours) for it to be eliminated from the system. So it'll be in your system for that period of time, after the last dose.
