Concept introduction:
Proteins are the
(b)
Interpretation:
The consequences that might occur after using stored blood for a blood transfusion are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Proteins are the biomolecules which are composed of the long chain of amino acid residues. The protein which contains oxygen and is present in the red blood cells in the body is known as hemoglobin. It contains iron as well.

- PLease asap. thanku. The standard notation for describing the common mutation in the HBB gene that, when homozygous, causes sickle cell anemia is E6V. What does "E6V" mean? [What is E? What is V? What does 6 refer to?]arrow_forwardThe Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint. b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase? c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?arrow_forwardthe SA node.

- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardExplain well. Thank you advance. Asaparrow_forwardHelp me match these please.arrow_forward
- Bohr for me, not for thee. Does myoglobin exhibit a Bohr effect? Why or why not?arrow_forwardCongratulation. You just graduated and obtained a job as an RN at NYU Medical Center. A patient comes in complaining of nausea, vomiting and weakness. You obtain the vital signs: T 90, P 90,R 20 and BP 100/70.His weight is 130lb and BSA is 2.60 m2. After history and physical examination, the physician ordered an infusion. The order reads: a drug 100mg/m2 IVPB IN 250mL of Normal Saline infuse over 3hours.The drug is available in a vial labeled 60mg/ml. At what rate in mL/h should the pump be set?
