Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have increased resistance to malaria because the parasite does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.
<h3>What is the link between G6P deficiency and malaria?</h3>
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder.
- G6PD protects cells from oxidative damage especially the RBCs whose main function is to carry oxygen.
- Mutation in the gene results in G6PD deficiency leading to oxidative stress which can lead to anemia (iron deficiency) as there is breakdown of RBCs.
- However, G6PD deficiency is quite common in parts of Africa, Middle East, and South Asia, which are the regions of high malaria endemism.
- This is due to natural selection in which G6PD deficiency is not eliminated from the population as it can protect people from malaria infection.
- Malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium</em> species does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.

The Benedict’s Test is the test which can detect carbohydrates and glucose in foods. During this process, the sample or the food is placed into a test tube and then some drops of Benedict's solution is added to it,and is then put into a beaker of boiling water. When the mixture of food and the Benedict substance turns reddish orange instead of staying blue, this means that it is positive. The mixture has simple sugar or has carbohydrates or glucose. On the other hand, lipids are tested using the brown paper test. When the paper turns transparent when a drop of food is put into it, it means that is is positive as well. When you want to test if the food has proteins, you have to test it with Biurets. Observe if the color change when you put some Biurets solution to the food sample. It is positive if the food turns light purple. Test if the food is positive with starches through the use of iodine. Food having iodine drops should turn purple instead of staying a yellow color.
Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock. Hence, the broken rocks are transported to another place where it decomposes and forms soil. Therefore weathering is important for soil formation
Then the model will become useless. originally the bottle should be air tight only tubes connected to the balloons, so that pressure can be shown when you adjust the plastic sheet in the bottom of the model. but now if there's a hole, air can move freely in or out the bottle and the model will not be able to show anything that occurs during respiration
Answer:
Gender roles are necessary to keep the family in balance.
Explanation:
Functionalists perspective of gender roles view conventional gender roles as necessary to commit to family functioning as it tends towards keeping the family balance: Women take on the “expressive” character of putting up with household chores and giving emotional care, grooming and nurturing of family members, while men take on the “instrumental” character of acquiring income and undertaking important family decisions.
