Answer :
Surfactant deficiency due to undeveloped lungs (in premature infants) suggest respiratory distress in an infant, but would be less likely to be observed in an adult beacuse in adults , lungs are fully developed and lack of surfactant is less.
Explanation:
Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration ,caused by deficiency of the surfactant produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs most commonly in premature infants.
Normally , the lungs of the fetus start the formation of the surfactant during the third trimester (26 weeks through labor and delivery ) but in the premature infants , the lungs are not totally developed , hence lack of surfactant production results in the respiratory distress syndrome charactarized by inflammation of the airways due to the lack of the surface tension lowring effect of the surfactant.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The movement of plates (convergence, divergence etc) cause landforms such as mountains and volcanoes to form! It's really cool, isn't it!
Answer:
Constitutive activation is the alteration of a protein or signaling pathway such that it is functional or engaged even in the absence of an upstream activating event. For example, RasD is constitutively active because it cannot bind GAP and therefore remains in the GTP-bound, active state even when cells are not stimulated by growth factor to activate a receptor tyrosine kinase.
Constitutively active Ras is cancer promoting because cells will proliferate in the absence of growth factors, and thus normal regulatory mechanisms for cell proliferation are bypassed.
(a) A mutation that resulted in Smad3 binding Smad4, entering the nucleus, and activating transcription independent of phosphorylation by the TGFβ receptor would render Smad3 constitutively active.
(b) A mutation that made MAPK active as a kinase and able to enter the nucleus without being phosphorylated by MEK would render MAPK constitutively active.
(c) A mutation that prevented NF-KB from binding to IK-B or that allowed NF-KB to enter the nucleus and regulate transcription even when bound to IK-B would render NF-KB constitutively active.
Answer:
(B) agglutination with anti-A antibodies.
Explanation:
ABO blood type is based on two types of antigens: A and B antigens. The anti-A antibodies react with antigen A while anti-B antibodies react with antigen B.
Blood type A has antigen A on the surface of its red blood cells and anti B antibodies in its plasma. Due to the presence of antigen A on its red blood cells, the blood type A shows agglutination with anti A antibodies.
