Answer:

Hemoglobin

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. With SCD, the hemoglobin forms into stiff rods within the red blood cells. This changes the shape of the red blood cells. The cells are supposed to be disc-shaped, but this changes them into a crescent, or sickle, shape.

The sickle-shaped cells are not flexible and cannot change shape easily. Many of them burst apart as they move through your blood vessels. The sickle cells usually only last 10 to 20 days, instead of the normal 90 to 120 days. Your body may have trouble making enough new cells to replace the ones that you lost. Because of this, you may not have enough red blood cells. This is a condition called anemia, and it can make you feel tired.

The sickle-shaped cells can also stick to vessel walls, causing a blockage that slows or stops the flow of blood. When this happens, oxygen can't reach nearby tissues. The lack of oxygen can cause attacks of sudden, severe pain, called pain crises. These attacks can occur without warning. If you get one, you might need to go to the hospital for treatment.

3. How much a machine changes its input force is its __
diamong [38]

Mechanical advantage is the answer.

Option B.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A machine is defined as the instrument which is used to perform some task easily, and with ease. A machine has the capability to give an output force in exchange of an input force. Now the ratio of the output force to input force is called as the mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage = Output force / input force.

For example, in case of a lever, there are three types - first class lever, second class lever, and third class lever. Mechanical advantage for a second class lever is always more than one, as we get more output force than input force. Similarly, the mechanical advantage for a third class lever is always less than 1, and mechanical advantage of first class lever can be both more or less or equal to one.
