El efisema pulmonar,provocado princioalmente por el consumo de cigarro, es una lesion que genera destruccion de los alveolos y, por lo tanto, zonas en las que no se produce el intercambio de gases ¿que consecuencias puede tener esta lesion en el organismo?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

El enfisema pulmonar disminuye la cantidad de tejido pulmonar, disminuyendo de este modo la cantidad de oxígeno que llega a la sangre (hipoxemia). El enfisema está asociado a diferentes trastornos incluyendo infecciones respiratorias recurrentes, pérdida de peso, debilidad muscular e hinchazón de los miembros inferiores.

Explanation:

El enfisema pulmonar es una enfermedad causada por la destrucción de los alvéolos pulmonares la cual está asociada a un aumento en la dificultad para respirar. Las principales causas de esta enfermedad son la exposición continua al humo del cigarrillo y otras sustancias nocivas para la salud, como así también a contaminantes presentes en la atmósfera. El enfisema pulmonar va progresivamente destruyendo las paredes alveolares pulmonares y los vasos sanguíneos que las recorren, disminuyendo así la elasticidad pulmonar, aumentando la proporción de aire que recorre los pulmones y de este modo también aumentando la distensibilidad pulmonar. Esta enfermedad disminuye la capacidad de oxigenar la sangre, generando una sensación constante de falta de aire (disnea) y cuadros progresivamente más severos de hipoxemia. Cuando el enfisema pulmonar se encuentra en grado avanzado, la única opción viable es el reemplazo del órgano dañado mediante un trasplante pulmonar. El enfisema puede estar asociado a infecciones respiratorias recurrentes (resfriados, gripe), pérdida de peso, debilidad muscular e hinchazón de los miembros inferiores (tobillos, pies y piernas).

Explanation:

The cells were kept in a dilute salt solution. They were then transferred to distilled
water.
Explain what will happen to each of these two cells when they are placed into distilled water.

Answers

When plant cells are placed in salt solution their appearance is different to when they are placed in distilled water. ... Therefore, water moves out of the cell across the partially permeable membrane by osmosis and the cell becomes flaccid as the cell membrane peels away from the cell wall

When cells are put in a dilute salt solution, water move out of the cell and into the salt solution by osmosis. This happens because the solution is more concentrated than the cell (meaning the solution has less water molecules than the cell) and by definition, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration (of water molecules) to a region of lower concentration (of water molecules). When the cells lose water, the become flaccid or plasmolysed.

When these cells are placed in distilled water (pure water with no dissolved salts in it), water molecules from the distilled water move into the cell by osmosis. This can lead to cell lysis.

Select three examples of resistance to antibiotics that is due to an altered cellular target of the drug. Multiple select question. The activity of beta-lactamase Addition of acetyl-CoA to chloramphenicol Alteration of an enzyme involved in folic acid synthesis A change in the structure of 23S rRNA The terminal D-alanine of pentapeptide mutates to D-serine

Answers

Answer:

- Alteration of an enzyme involved in folic acid synthesis

- A change in the structure of 23S rRNA

- The terminal D-alanine of pentapeptide mutates to D-serine

Explanation:

Antibiotic resistance is the phenomenon by which microorganisms naturally have, acquire, or develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to eliminate them. For example, trimethoprim is able to bind with the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in order to inhibit the folic acid synthesis pathway. Sulfonamides (sulfa drugs) competitively inhibit the incorporation of para-aminobenzoic acid (​PABA) into folic acid and thus also prevent the synthesis of folic acid. Ribosomes are organelles where proteins are synthesized. The 23S rRNA is a component of the large subunit (50S) of bacteria and archaea ribosomes. In consequence, it is expected that a modification in the structure of 23S rRNA alters protein synthesis. Finally, vancomycin acts by binding the terminal D-Ala-D-Ala residues of the polymeric lipid-PP-disaccharide-pentapeptides and thus inhibits cell wall synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria. In consequence, it is expected that a mutation at the terminal D-alanine that modifies this sequence alters the vancomycin binding site and thus also confers antibiotic resistance.

Which is an example of why the process of photosynthesis is important to life on Earth?- - Grass uses photosynthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth.
- Fungi use photosynthesis to decompose dead and decaying plant matter.
- Ectothermic animals use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy for cell functions.
- Green plants use photosynthesis to remove oxygen gas from the atmosphere and replenish the earth’s carbon dioxide.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) Grass uses photosynthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, which include algae, take in the energy from the sun and combines it with carbon dioxide (and water) to form benificial sugars.

Photosynthesis refers to the process by which the green plants, as well as algae, utilize the energy from the sun in combination with the carbon dioxide as well as water to form simple sugars. This is how the harmful gas carbion dioxide can be destroyed and elimanated.
