Her eyes are wide-set and slightly slanted. Her nose is short and flat, and she keeps her mouth slightly open. There is a straight crease across her palm, and her fifth digit is unusually short. The doctor tells her parents she has an inherited disorder. If you were the doctor what would you diagnosis Kate with? Discuss the etiology of Kate’s disorder? What is the biggest risk factor for this disorder? How can or will this disorder affect Kate? What test could have been completed to diagnosis this disorder before Kate’s birth?
Answer:
- These morphological features belong to Down syndrome.
- Diagnosis: Down syndrome (Trisomy Extra chromosome 21).
- Etiology: the presence of three copies of the autosomal chromosome 21 instead of two copies in body (somatic) cells.
- Most important health problem: Down syndrome increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (other health problems include heart congenital defects, vision problems, hearing loss, hypothyroidism)
- Diagnostic test: Amniocentesis
Explanation:
Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent chromosomal abnormality which is generally caused by the presence of an extra copy of autosomal chromosome 21, thereby it is an autosomal trisomy (trisomy 21). DS is often associated with intellectual disability and increased risk of developing Alzheimer's, as well as health problems including, among others, heart congenital defects, vision problems, hypothyroidism, blood disorders, hypotonia, endocrine problems, dental problems, seizures, etc. Amniocentesis is the most common invasive prenatal diagnostic procedure which is used to identify chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Amniocentesis is done between 15 weeks and 20 weeks of pregnancy.

An organism that creates its own food is called:
A) a producer
B)a consumer
C)a carnivore
D) a decomposer
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Answer:
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.

Two different enzymes catalyze the same reaction and both exhibit the same Vmax. When Enzyme A was run with a 40 uM substrate, the initial rate (Vo) was 10 uM/min, and when g it was run with a 4 mM substrate, the Vo was 20 uM/min. Estimate the approximate Vmax and Km of Enzyme A. When Enzyme B was run with 80 uM substrate, the initial rate (Vo) was 10 uM per minute. Estimate the Km of Enzyme B.
Answer:
a) k_m = 4.08 uM
V_{max} = 20.07 uM/min
b) k_m = 8.16 uM
Explanation:
Given that:
For Enzyme A:
the substrate concentration [S] = 40 uM
the initial velocity rate v = 10 uM/min
when it was 4mM, v = 20 uM/min
i.e.
at 4mM = 4000 uM;
Using Michealis -menten equation;
when v = 10
[tex]V = \dfrac{V_{max}[S]}{k_m+[S]}[/tex]
∴
[tex]10 = \dfrac{V_{max}\times 40}{k_m + 40}[/tex]
[tex]10 (k_m + 40) = V_{max}40[/tex]
[tex]40V_{max} -10k_m = 400 --- (1)[/tex]
when v= 20
[tex]20= \dfrac{V_{max}\times 4000}{k_m + 4000}[/tex]
[tex]20 (k_m + 4000) = V_{max}4000[/tex]
[tex]4000V_{max} -20k_m = 8000 --- (2)[/tex]
equating equation (1) and (2):
[tex]40V_{max} -10k_m = 400 --- (1)[/tex]
[tex]4000V_{max} -20k_m = 8000 --- (2)[/tex]
let multiply equation (1) by 100 and equation (2) by 1
4000V_{max} - 1000K_m = 4000
4000V_{max} - 20 k_m = 8000
0 -980k_m = 4000
k_m = 4000/-980
k_m = 4.08 uM
replacing the value of k_m into equation (1)
40{V_max } - 10(4.08) = 400
40{V_max } - 40.8 = 400
40{V_max } = 400 + 40.8
40{V_max } = 440.8
V_{max} = 440.8/40
V_{max} = 11.02 uM/min
b)
Since V_{max} of A ie equivalent to that of B; then:
V_{max} of B = 11.02 uM/min
Here;
[S] = 80 uM
V = 10 uM/min
∴
[tex]10 = \dfrac{11.02 \times 80}{k_m + 80 }[/tex]
10(k_m +80) = 881.6
10k_m = 881.6 - 800
10k_m = 81.6
k_m = 81.6/10
k_m = 8.16 uM

Describe the biome in which you currently live, or one in which you want to live, or have lived. What are the atmospheric conditions (wind pattern, humidity level, etc), solar intensity, and geographic/oceanographic features that have produced this unique ecosystem
Answer:
Southern Texas
Explanation:
The Wind pattern often is represented by the westerlies, which are the winds that flow in the northern latitude of the world. The humidity level in this zone varies from 10-20%, since we are in the desert we do not have much humidity, the solar intensity is high, often found in the 9-10 uv range, it is not advised to spend more than 10 minutes on direct sun without solar protection. We have the Rio Grande to the south and some spare mountains.

What is the process in the cell can be disturbed by the destruction of the mitochondria?
a.
nuclear fission
b.
photosynthesis
c.
oxidation of substances organic
d.
crossing-ove
Answer:
The correct answer is - C. oxidation of substances organic.
Explanation:
The major function of the mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration and produce energy in the form of ATP by oxidating organic molecules. All the process requires energy to be processed, however, the main and primary process that would disturb if by the destruction of the mitochondria occur which is the oxidation of glucose to convert it to pyruvic acid to generate energy.
The Krebs cycle that takes place in mitochondria and performs oxidation of organic molecules will also be disturbed and there will be no energy for any process.
which characteristic of water allows it to absorb large amounts of energy without a large rise in temperature
Answer:
Specific heat capacity
Explanation:
High altitude adaptation is a complex physiological process that involves an increase in both the number of Hb molecules per erythrocyte and the total number of erythrocytes. It normally requires several weeks to complete. However, even after one day at high altitude, there is a significant degree of adaptation. This effect results from a rapid increase in the erythrocyte BPG concentration.
a. Try to do this without looking at the graphs. If oxygen-binding curves for both high altitude adapted hemoglobin and normal, unadapted Hb were plotted together, would the curve for high altitude adapted Hb be to the left of, to the right of or the same as the curve for unadapted Hb? Explain.
b. Is the oxygen binding affinity of high-altitude adapted Hb higher, lower, or the same as that of unadapted Hb? Explain.
Answer:
a. To the right
b. higher
Explanation:
From the information given:
a.
The oxygen-adsorption curve of the elevated high altitude modified the hemoglobin and this will move to the right because there is a reduced amount of oxygen available at high altitude, as well as an increase in carbon dioxide and H+ ion concentration, temperature, and all of which raise pH and shifts the curve towards the right.
b.
As there is a low relative partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude, the oxygen-binding attraction of high altitude adaptable hemoglobin is greater and higher than that of unadapted hemoglobin under pulmonary oxygen loading. This is important to optimize the oxygen concentration levels in blood circulation and blood tissues.
How does carbon dioxide travel in blood via dissolved form
Answer:
carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than oxygen and hence is mostly transported in the dissolved form in our blood.
Carbon dioxide can be transported through the blood via three methods. It is dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.
The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate system.
Goodluck

If the contents of a cell have a solute concentration of 0.04 percent which of these solutions would cause it to swell?
Answer:
The contents of a cell if has the solute concentration as 0.04 percent then it should have much lesser concentration that the cell, then only it will allow the cell to swell. Because of the solutions with a lower osmotic pressure than a cell fluid solution concentration, can make it swell.

Birds differ from their closest relatives, the reptiles, in what ways?
(choose all that apply)
the bones of reptiles are too lightweight to permit flight
birds are capable of powered flight, while some reptiles can glide
birds have feathers, reptiles have scales
only the birds lay eggs on land; the reptiles can only lay their eggs in water
the reptiles have a series of internal air sacs that allow a very efficient extraction of oxygen
birds are endothermic, while reptiles are generally ectothermic
1 pts
Answer:
birds have feathers, reptiles have scales
birds are endothermic, while reptiles are generally ectothermic
Explanation:
The main difference between birds and reptiles is that birds have feathers on their body while on the other hand, reptiles ahve dry skin and have scales. Reptiles are ectotherms, while birds are endotherms. An ectotherm relies on its external environment to regulate the temperature of its body whereas Endotherms are able to regulate their body temperatures by producing heat within the body.
