Benefits: reduce size of stomach, restrict amount of food the stomach can hold, alters food course to prevent passing through small intestine that would normally absorb calories and nutrients. Effects: promotes satiety, suppress hunger, reverse primary mechanisms that causes obesity-related type 2 diabetes. In addition the surgery causes an average of 60 to 80% long term excess weight loss, which is superior to the adjustable gastric band. Typical maintenance is higher than 50%. Other pros include improvements in overall health, comorbidities, mobility, and increase in energy expenditure and quality of life.


Cons: Complex and irreversible surgery, great complication rates, mortality rate of 2.5% 90 days after procedure, despite the fact that comorbidities like diabetes and high blood pressure may be minimized or cured, the worse they are prior to the surgery the more the more likely it is for the patient to suffer from further complications, ( gastric band is reversible and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is less complex than Roux-en-y gastric bypass, which is what the cons are referring to), can cause long term vitamin deficiency particularly in: vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and folate. In addition, the surgery has a longer hospital stay than than the AGB (adjustable gastric band) and it requires adherence to dietary recommendations, life-long vitamin/mineral supplementation, and follow up compliance as explained by ASMBS ( American society for metabolic and bariatric surgery).

What are the different parts of a bacteriophage? Where is the DNA stored in this virus?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

What are the differents parts of a bacteriophage?

The tailed phages have three major components: a capsid where the genome is packed, a tail that serves as a pipe during infection to secure transfer of genome into host cell and a special adhesive system (adsorption apparatus) at the very end of the tail that will recognise the host cell and penetrate its wall.

Where is the DNA stored in this virus?

Where is DNA stored in viruses?

The genome of most DNA-containing viruses that infect eukaryotic cells is transported (with some associated proteins) into the cell nucleus, where the cellular DNA is, of course, also found.

Explanation:

Hope it helps you!

Two students are given cubic boxes, measuring 10 cm on a side. Robert puts a single glass marble with a
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Both boxes have the same amount of empty space

Explanation:

Given

Cube Box

Length = 10cm

Robert:

1 glass marble

Diameter = 10cm

Susan:

1000 glass marble

Diameter = 1cm

Required

Whose box has more empty space?

First, we need to calculate the volume of the cubic box.

Volume = Length^3

Substitute 10cm for Length

Volume = 10^3

Volume = 1000cm^3

Next, calculate the volume of Robert's glass

Volume is calculated as:

Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 ---- Volume of a sphere

Where

r = radius

r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter

Diameter = 10cm --- Given

Substitute 10 for diameter

r = \frac{1}{2} * 10cm

r = 5cm

So:

Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 5^3

Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 125

Volume = 523.8cm^3

Next, we determine the volume of Susan's 1000 glasses

Volume is calculated as:

Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 ---- Volume of a sphere

Where

r = radius

r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter

Diameter = 1cm --- Given

Substitute 1cm for diameter

r = \frac{1}{2} * 1cm

r = 0.5cm

Substitute 0.5cm for radius in Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 0.5^3

Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 0.125

Volume = 0.5238

But there are 1000 glasses.

So, the volume of 1000 glasses is:

Volume = 0.5238 * 1000

Volume = 523.8cm^3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Robert:

Volume = 523.8cm^3

For Susan:

Volume = 523.8cm^3

Since, they have the same volume.

Both boxes have the same amount of empty space
