Research the Internet about a problem that occurs with the nervous system. For your first post, write a description about the di

sease/disorder you chose. What are some of the symptoms? Is it treatable/curable? If so, how? Is it genetic or caused by something environmental? Why did you choose this particular problem? Does it affect a particular group of individuals more than others? Etc? Do you have any personal experience with this problem? List at least one source from your research.

Answer:

Alzheimer's disease.

Explanation:

It is A progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.

Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions.

Symptoms :

Cognitive: mental decline, difficulty thinking and understanding, confusion in the evening hours, delusion, disorientation, forgetfulness, making things up, mental confusion, difficulty concentrating, inability to create new memories, inability to do simple maths, or inability to recognise common things

Behavioural: aggression, agitation, difficulty with self care, irritability, meaningless repetition of own words, personality changes, restlessness, lack of restraint, or wandering and getting lost

Mood: anger, apathy, general discontent, loneliness, or mood swings

Psychological: depression, hallucination, or paranoia

Also common: appetite loss, difficulty with skilled movement, or paraphasia

there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease or a way to stop or slow its progression, there are drug and non-drug options that may help treat symptoms.

Cause:

Alzheimer's disease is thought to be caused by the abnormal build-up of proteins in and around brain cells.

I chosed it because it is very common

Over 1.5 million people come up with this disease

What is the equation for a photosynthesis???????????????​
Katarina [22]

The equation for photosynthesis is given as:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

<h3>Photosynthesis</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food from carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere using sunlight as an energy source.

Carbohydrates are produced while oxygen is given off as a by-product in photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, the energy from the sunlight is trapped by the chlorophyll found in the chloroplast and used to energize the reactions involved in photosynthesis.

The equation for photosynthesis is given as:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

What are the two different results of a lack of calcium and a lack of atp?
liq [111]
<span>There are numerous proteins in muscle. The main two are thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments. Thin filaments form a scaffold that thick filaments crawl up. There are many regulatory proteins such as troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin. There are also proteins that stabilize the cells and anchor the filaments to other cellular structures. A prime example of this is dystrophin. This protein is thought to stabilize the cell membrane during contraction and prevent it from breaking. Those who lack completely lack dystrophin have a disorder known as Duchene muscular dystrophy. This disease is characterized by muscle wasting begininng in at a young age and usually results in death by the mid 20s. The sarcomere is the repeating unit of skeletal muscle. 

Muscle cells contract by interactions of myosin heads on thick filament with actin monomers on thin filament. The myosin heads bind tightly to actin monomers until ATP binds to the myosin. This causes the release of the myosin head, which subsequently swings foward and associates with an actin monomer further up the thin filament. Hydrolysis and of ATP and the release of ADP and a phosphate allows the mysosin head to pull the thick filament up the thin filament. There are roughly 500 myosin heads on each thick filament and when they repeatedly move up the thin filament, the muscle contracts. There are many regulatory proteins of this contraction. For example, troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin form a regulatory switch that blocks myosin heads from binding to actin monomers until a nerve impulse stimulates an influx of calcium. This causes the switch to allow the myosin to bind to the actin and allows the muscle to contract. </span><span>
