Summary Introduction
To devise:
A hypothesis that explains the difference between the excess of iron uptake in a person suffering with hemochromatosis and a normal person.
Introduction:
In the disease of hemochromatosis the iron intake of the patient increases very much. There is a need of some elements in our body but an excess of any of the element in our body also produces toxicity in our body. So if excess of iron is stored in our body parts then it will lead to the damage of that body part which has excess of iron.

Human chronic gonadotrophin (hCG) hormone produced by the fertilized egg in order to maintain elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone. hCG is also used to induce ovulation during IVF procedures and is known to stimulate the production of testosterone in the testes.
Which of the following hormones has a similar function as hCG?
A. LH
B. Estrogen
C. Inhibin
D. FSH
Cyclic GMP (cGMP) is a molecule that causes dilation of arteries. Cyclic GMP is normally broken down in the body by enzymes called phosphodiesterases. The drug sildenafil citrate (brand name: Viagra) blocks a phosphodiesterase enzyme in the penis. Use this information and what you know about penile erection to explain how Viagra works as a treatment for men who have difficulty maintaining an erection.
(Please help me with all of these, I need a short explanation as to why it is the answer for each question)...
1. The evolution/development of the skeletal system found in the Deuterostomes, is made up of two molecules, Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen These molecules are produced released from by a specialized type of stem cell. Therefore, one would expect that these stem cells perform which of the following a) the storage and the release of Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen from vesicles from the Golgi apparatus, b) high levels of protein synthesis c) active transport of amino acids and ions into the stem cells through active transport, d) oxidation of pyruvate by the mitochondria, e) all are correct.
2. A multicellular eukaryote cell typically has enough available ATP to meet its needs for about 90 seconds. What would cause an active cell to exhaust its ATP supply so quickly? A) regular rest is a cellular requirement. B) Photosynthesis used up all ATP. C) ATP is transported into other cells. D)…

- A friend of yours wants to better understand the difference between estrous and menses in mammals. Which answer below would provide a good way of explaining the main difference? O only menstrual cycles are affected by seasonal changes throughout the year O copulation normally occurs across the estrous cycle, whereas in menstrual cycles copulation only occurs during the period surrounding ovulation O the endometrium shed by the uterus during the estrous cycle is reabsorbed with no extensive fluid flow out of the body, whereas the shed endometrium of menstrual cycles is excreted from the body O behavioral changes during estrous cycles are much less apparent than those of menstrual cycles MacBook Proarrow_forwardIn terms of the frequency of its effects and its cost to society, the most devastating human teratogen is undoubtedly ethanol. However, not all human babies that are exposed to alcohol while in the womb develop Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Describe three reasons why not all babies exposed to alcohol develop FAS.arrow_forwardChlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. If not treated, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. PID can cause scar tissues in the structure responsible for transporting the fertilized egg and in the tissue that is maintained by progesterone during a menstrual cycle, leading to infertility. In the diagram above, the structures associated with PID for the effects described above are numbered Select one: a. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 3, which is the endometrium, respectively b. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 4, which is the endometrium, respectively c. 4, which is the uterus, and 6, which is the cervix, respectively d. 3, which is the uterus, and 7, which is the cervix, respectivelyarrow_forward

This will happen in the absence of anti-Wolffian hormone This will happen in the absence of estrogens This will happen in the presence of high levels of androgens This is the default pathwayarrow_forwardBiology Pick the CORRECT answer and describe WHY it is the correct response. Next, provide a reason why EACH of the other answer options is INCORRECT. Include specific examples to demonstrate your explanations where possible. 1. The function of follicle stimulating hormone is to stimulate the development of Corpus luteum Uterine endometrium Ova and sperm Secondary sex characteristics 2. The onset of menses (menstruation) is initiated by a(an) Rise in luteinizing hormone Rise in prostaglandins Fall in gonadotropic releasing hormone Fall in estrogen and progesterone 3. The primary source of testosterone is the Prostate gland Testes Anterior pituitary Adrenal cortex 4. Under the influence of androgens Red blood cell production is suppressed Spermatogenesis is suppressed Muscle mass gradually decreases Sebaceous gland activity increases.arrow_forward
- Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year. In trying to discover the cause of a female patient’s infertility, her doctor ordered an analysis of circulating hormone levels every day during her 28-day reproductive cycle. Her progesterone levels started very close to zero ng/mL on the first day and remained there throughout her entire 28-day cycle. Based on these results, and your understanding of progesterone, explain why this female is unlikely to achieve a successful pregnancyarrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of how sperm are equipped to survive outside of the male body? O The acrosomal enzyme in the head of the sperm protect the sperm from the female immune lysosomes. O Semen is alkaline which neutralizes the acidity of the vagina The bulbourethral gland produces fructose to nourish sperm O They do not have mitochondria, so they are not dependent upon aerobic respiration.arrow_forwardMate guarding is an evolved response to sperm competition. Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) females regularly mate with several males in the same estrous cycle, whereas gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) females almost never do, since they typically live in bands, each controlled by a single, powerful male. How large (as a proportion of body size) should the testes of chimpanzee males be relative to gorilla testes (Harcourt et al. 1981)? If the testes of men are more similar to those of chimpanzees, what would this tell us about the intensity of sperm competition during our evolutionary past? If, on the other hand, human testes resemble those of gorillas, what conclusion is justified? Please don't write from any online source.arrow_forward
