<u>Phenylketonuria</u>
Explanation:
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a type of a rare inherited metabolic disorder.
Etiology: PKU results from excessive accumulation of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. Normally, phenylalanine will be converted to tyrosine (forms neurotransmitters) by the action of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase.
Among people with PKU, a defect in the PAH gene which codes to synthesize this enzyme occurs which leads to the absence of this enzyme. So the phenylalanine which is normally present in dietary protein is not metabolized and gets accumulated. This gene is inherited by the child only if both the parents are with the defective PAH gene.
Symptoms: Stunted growth, behaviroral disturbances, learning difficulties, seizures, tremors etc.
Treatment: Basic treatment is to follow a diet which limits dietary sources of phenylalanine. High protein foods like meat, egg should be avoided. Children can be given PKU formula to supplement their nutritional needs.
Answer:
Neutrophils
Explanation:
In this case of a ruptured appendix and peritontis, the neutrophils are more likely to be elevated above normal value because:
1. They are the most abundant white blood cells (WBCs), about 60%-70% of the total white blood cell count.
2. they help to defend the body against fungal and bacterial infections and heal tissues that are damaged. The most likely infection to occur from a ruptured appendix is a bacterial infection.
Other WBCs like eosinophil is involved in parasitic infection; basophil is involved in allergic reaction; while monocyte is involved in phagocytosis.
Answer:
The correct option is;
7:32 AM
Explanation:
The information given are;
The time at 45 degrees W and 72 degrees N = 9:32 AM
The variation of time with lines of longitude is given as 15 degrees for each 1 hour variation, therefore, where we have the other location at 75 degrees W and 45 degrees S, the difference in the longitude = 75 - 45 = 30 degrees west of the initial location
Moving west is in the opposite direction of the Earths rotation, therefore, we subtract 1 hour for every 15 degrees giving 30/15 = 2 hours subtracted
The time at 75 degrees W and 45 degrees S is therefore, 9:32 AM - 2 hour = 7.32 AM
The latitude of a place left out in the calculation of the relative time of a place.
