<u>Answer:</u>
Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?
A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>
Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?
A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>
Q: What treatments are available?
A: Medication, healthy food.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.
A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.
A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms are able to <em>share</em> electrons.
Iroinic bonds are form when two atoms are <em> </em> electrons from each other to complete the bond. This results in a pair of ions.
<u>Covalent bonds:</u>
- Have a definite shape.
- Have a low melting point.
- At room temperature they are in a liquid or gas.
- They occur between two non-metals.
<u>Ionic bonds:</u>
- Have no definite shape.
- Have a high melting point.
- At room temperature they are solid.
- They occur between a metal and a nonmetal.

It is possible for large molecules to enter a cell by a process called endocytosis, where a small piece of the cell membrane wraps around the particle and is brought into the cell. If the particle is solid, endocytosis is also called phagocytosis.
