Answer:

Bleeding

Explanation:

  • In the case of biliary cancer, the progressive worsening of the associated jaundice is due to the obstruction of the bile flow.
  • The obstruction of the bile flow further is responsible for the impairment of the absorption of vitamin K, which is a fat-soluble vitamin.
  • Impairment in the absorption of Vitamin k leads to a decrease in the production of prothrombin as it is required for its synthesis. 
  • Due to a decrease in prothrombin, there is a further increase in the coagulation time and thus the chances of bleeding increases.

In which case would facilitated diffusion be needed?
melomori [17]

Answer:

The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?

A. Simple diffusion.

B.<u> Facilitated diffusion. </u>

C. Coupled transport.

D. Active transport.

You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:

i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.

ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.

iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.

iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.

The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:

A. simple diffusion.

<u>B. facilitated diffusion. </u>

C. active transport.

D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.

Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.

Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.

This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.

Potential results from changes in global phytoplankton populations are?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Declining populations of phytoplankton, the basis of the marine food chain, will alter the seawater hues, potentially decimating fisheries. The world's oceans are warming and growing more acidic as a result of climate change, and a provocative new study suggests they'll be changing color too.

Explanation:

Hope this is good :)

Reclassification of fungi

Explanation:

Fungi were classified under kingdom plantae by the earlier taxonomists due to their similarities. Both of them were grown on the ground and fixed to the ground, they do not move, fungi like plants also produced fruiting bodies.

However, there were many physiological, morphological, genetic, and biochemical features which were unique and different from other kingdoms.

Although, the fungi contain similar features like vacuoles, secondary metabolites, myecelial root-like structures; fungi like plants do not have a complete vascular system.

Hence, the previous classification under plants was reconsidered and fungi were reclassified as a separate kingdom next to the protists and before the plantae kingdoms.

A 20-year-old male shoots his hand with a nail gun while replacing roofing shingles. Which of the following cell types would be
Leni [432]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. Neutrophils

Explanation:

Neutrophils are the cells that first reach to the infection side and kills the bacteria. Neutrophils comprises most part of WBCs approximately 50-70% of total WBCs. Neutrophils kills the foreign bacteria by engulfing them and this process is called phagocytosis.

The engulfed bacteria is called phagosome and phagosome then fuse with lysosome making phagolysosome. Now fused lysosome secrete lytic enzymes like proteases, lipases and glycosidases which kills the engulfed bacteria by digesting them.

So neutrophils will be the first cells migrates to prevent bacterial infection in the hand of 20 year old boy who shoots his hand with nail gun.
