It is thought that President Abraham Lincoln suffered from a genetic disorder known as Marfan syndrome. Which type of fiber is affected in this disorder? ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Marfan syndrome is a rare disease of the connective tissue, which affects different structures, including skeleton, lungs, eyes, heart and blood vessels.

It is characterized by an unusual increase in limb length. It is believed to affect one in 5,000 people. Unlike other genetic problems, it does not negatively affect intelligence.

Which of the following statements about antibodies is false?(A) Antibodies are produced by different combinations of soluble proteins in the blood called complement.
(B) When antibodies bind to a bacterial cell, it may keep that cell from adhering to host cells.
(C) The specific receptors on T cells that would interact with a specific antigen are the same shape as antibodies that will interact with that antigen.
(D) By binding to antigens, antibodies mark those antigens for destruction by macrophages.
(E) By binding to an invader, antibodies attract proteins that lyse the target membrane.

Answers

I thought C was false because the shape will be complimentary for them to fit together not that they would be the same
(a) is false since antibodies are produced by body humoral immune system

Detergents are compounds that dissolve lipids. If a cell were exposed to large concentrations of detergents, which cell part would likely suffer the greatest?

Answers

Ans.

Detergents are chemical compounds having both polar and non-polar components. They cause disruption of lipid molecules by breakdown bonds present between lipid molecules. In a cell, lipids are majorly present in cell membrane and membranes of internal cell organelles.

Thus, 'the cell part that would most likely suffer due to exposure to high concentration of lipids is cell membrane.'

Which of the following is not a physical property of iron? conductivity ability to rust color melting point

Answers

The ability to rust is not a physical property of iron because rusting change the chemical composition of iron.

What is physical property?

  • The property of a metal that leads to the change in the size of the shape of metal but not in the chemical structure or composition of the metal.

Conductivity:

  • It is the property by which metals are able to pass electrons which connected to an electric current source or heat source.

Ability to rust:

  • Iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide which is known as rust. In this, the chemical composition of pure iron is changed.

  • Color is the physical appearance and the melting point is the temperature at which solid iron converts to liquid iron but the chemical composition does not change.

Therefore, the ability to rust is not a physical property of iron.

First, a physical property just identifies it's state, how it looks, color, and that stuff. Let's work on finding that. 

Ability to rust wouldn't work as a physical property. That one changes the substance, making it a chemical change. So, we know that this can certainly be our answer!


Chemistry: counting atoms in compounds worksheet #7.0.1
Answer please!!!!!

Answers

Atom is the most basic unit of matter. They are the general term used to describe pieces of matter. But a different kind of atom makes up an element.  A combination of atom of different elements creates a molecule. For example, you have water; it has a chemical formula of H2O. If you separate H from O, you have two atoms. Two atoms for hydrogen and one atom for oxygen. However, they are of different elements. And when you combine them to form H2O, you create a molecule.

In the given query, the total number of atoms present in the given chemical compound \rm KMnO_4 is six atoms total in number.

Compounds were formed when two atoms combine together by sharing electrons among themselves.

In the compound \rm KMnO_4: It contains 1 K (Potassium atom), 1 Mn (Manganese atom) and 4O (Oxygen atom).

That means the compound contains total of six atoms in it.

Therefore, there are six atoms total in number present in the given compound \rm KMnO_4.

Which of the following tastes may be detected at very low concentration?sweet
umami
bitter
salty

Answers

The correct answer is bitter.

People have very strong negative reactions when it comes to a bitter taste. Most of the substances like toxins have bitter taste. The ability of the taste buds to taste the bitter substances shows evolutionary history. The taste has evolved because most of the substances that are harmful to the human beings are bitter in taste. The substances such as alkaloids, drugs, medicines, quinine, caffeine and nicotine have bitter taste. These tastes are not very common to the taste buds so they are detected at very low concentrations.


The taste which we can detect already at very small concentrations is salty taste.

The reason why we have a special affinity for tasting bitter things. The reason why we can taste bitter things at extremely low concentrations is because potentially dangerous compounds can be bitter and it made evolutionary sense for organisms to adapt to taste bitter things.
