Normal red blood cells slide easily through narrow blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, many red blood cells change to a cresc

ent shape like a slender moon. Crescent-shaped blood cells cause blockages in blood vessels. These blockages decrease the transport of oxygen. People with sickle cell disease often have sharp pains due to the lack of oxygen in parts of the body.
Sickle cell disease is caused by an abnormal type of red blood cell gene inherited by the parents. What is the name for different forms of the same gene?

ddd [48]
I think the answer is glycogen.Glycogen functions as one of the two forms of long-term energy reserves, with the other form being triglyceride stores in adipose tissue. In human body, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and skeletal muscle. In the muscles it is the primary fuel the muscles use for energy production.

Why does the efficiency of a complex machine decreases as more simple machines are used ?
bearhunter [10]

By the law of conservation of energy, the energy input to a system must equal the output. However, when there are more moving parts in a machine, like in a complex machine, the energy converted to non-useful energy, such as the production of heat energy via friction, is increased. Therefore, the more the moving parts, the greater the losses of energy due to increased friction. This is why complex machines are less efficient.
