What diagnostic test is useful for detecting hyperactivity of the thyroid gland during an evaluation of a thyroid disorder

Biology
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Blood tests that measure thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can confirm the diagnosis. High levels of thyroxine and low or nonexistent amounts of TSH indicate an overactive thyroid. The amount of TSH is important because it's the hormone that signals your thyroid gland to produce more thyroxine

What would be most likely to happen if some of the proteins in one of the photosystem were to change shape due to a rise in cell
Sever21 [200]

Answer;

C. A decrease in the formation of ATP

Explanation;

-During the first stage of photosynthesis NADPH is created. It involves two set of molecules, that is photosystem I and photosystem II, which absorb sunlight, then convert it to chemical energy, and transfer it to electrons.

-Outside factors may cause the plant's pH level to drop during photosynthesis. When this happens, the shape of the proteins may be altered within the two photosystems and cause a decrease in the formation of NADPH, thus adversely affecting efficient photosynthesis, and cause a decrease in the formation of ATP.

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)inhibit inflammation by inhibiting an enzyme in the prostaglandin
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Aspirin inhibits the formation of prostaglandins by combining with the COX enzymes. Prostaglandins function as messenger molecules to monitor different physiological procedures in distinct regions of the body. One of the prime activities of prostaglandins is to stimulate inflammation and pain.  

Prostaglandins are also the essential controller of platelet aggregation. By changing the COX enzymes inside the platelets, aspirin makes platelets to lose the stickiness, which is required to instigate clotting of blood.  

There are two forms of cyclooxygenase, that is, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 generates prostaglandins and COX-2 mediates pain and swelling in response to tissue injury. Aspirin prevents both COX-1 and COX-2 functioning, while COX-2 is the therapeutic target of the drug.  

However, it is the association of aspirin with COX-1 in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in the unwanted side effects of the drug. COX-1 is required to sustain a thick lining of the stomach. As aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, thus, the continuous use of the drug can result in the thinning of mucus, which safeguards the stomach from gastric juices.  

In such cases, stomach bleeding, ulcers, and in certain situations perforation of the stomach can take place. Therefore, aspirin exhibits both bad and good effects.
