1. Erythrocytes is red blood cells, and anemia means a lack of red blood cells in the blood. So erythrocyte count in a patient diagnosed with anemia such as pernicious anemia is going to be significantly lower than normal.

2. RBC’s (red blood cells) are produced in the bone marrow
3. Platelets help with clotting as well as clotting proteins produced in the liver
4. The human circulatory system is designed specifically to transport oxygen as well as nutrients to all parts of the body through blood vessels. Humans in the womb have blood vessels and a beating heart developed by the 1-2 months in the womb, and the heart immediately begins work. The human circulatory system is efficient because we were created with a system to be as efficient as possible. The circulatory system is basically a highway made of tunnels that allows RBC’s and WBC’s to pass through to every part of the body including major organs. Unfortunately unhealthy eating habits and poor exercise cause this circulatory system to become less and less effective till the point of heart attack, stroke, or major cardiovascular disease.
5. Blood plasma is very important in the transfer of nutrients as well as hormones to the major organs of the body.
6. Lymph is a clear watery substance that carries proteins and other substances throughout the body in order to maintain fluid balance. Lymph is part of the lymphatic system which is a tiny constituent of the immune system.

Why did proteins seem better suited for storing genetic information?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

b. reducing molecules

Explanation:

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (abbreviated NAD +, and also called diphosphopyridine nucleotide and Coenzyme I), is a coenzyme found in all living cells. The compound is a dinucleotide, as it consists of two nucleotides linked through their phosphate groups with a nucleotide that contains an adenosine ring and the other that contains nicotinamide.

In metabolism, NAD + participates in redox reactions (oxidoreduction), carrying electrons from one reaction to another.

Coenzyme, therefore, is found in two forms in cells: NAD + and NADH. NAD +, which is an oxidizing agent, accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced, forming NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD +. However, it is also used in other cellular processes, especially as a substrate for enzymes that add or remove chemical groups of proteins, in post-translational modifications. Due to the importance of these functions, the enzymes involved in the metabolism of NAD + are targets for drug discovery.
