Main Function of Electrolytes

Put each question on a separate docomunt with citations attached. each question should have a minimum of 8-10 sentence.

1)Discuss the main function of electrolytes and what happens if the electrolytes are out of balance. What does electrolyte balance have to do with execution by lethal injection? Based on what you find, discuss as a class if you think lethal injection is humane or inhumane. If you think lethal injection is inhumane, examine a better alternative.

2)A) Why would a drug calledrenin inhibitors be effective in treating hypertension?

B) A toddler in Africa travels to a remote area with no access to clean drinking water. He drinks sewage water and soon develops severe diarrhea and dies 10 days later of cardiac arrest. Explain the possible physiological cause(s) of his death.

C) A patient with poor blood flow to the kidneys is treated with an ACE inhibitor and goes into renal failure. Explain the reason for the renal failure.

3)MRSA is a terrible disease that is very difficult to control. Recent conversation has emerged as to whether or not the current methods of screening and contact are truly effective. Research and explain MRSA, its current methods of control, and how changes can be beneficial and/or harmful?

4)A. Summarize one example illustrating how microbes benefit human health. Can the removal of microbes actually lead to disease development?

Blood Pressure Human Health and Disease

Patient Scenario

Addresses Learning Outcomes:

  • Use knowledge of biological principles and the Scientific Method to ask and answer relevant questions about human health and disease
  • Analyze information to distinguish between diseased and healthy structure and functioning.
  • Analyze how internal and external factors cause disruption of healthy body function, leading to disease and disorders.

Mr. Smith is 60 years old. He was diagnosed with a prostate cancer five years ago. Over the past few days, Mr. Smith has been feeling weak and increasingly tired and has also been suffering from a headache that did not respond to over-the-counter medications. He scheduled an appointment with his physician.

His physician performed a physical examination and recommended a battery of laboratory tests and imaging procedures.

The table below shows Reference values in the right-hand column. These values reflect the normal range of values for patients without disease or illness. The center column reflects the resulting values for medical test results obtained for Mr. Smith.

Biology Cell Structure and Membrane

Ansewer some questions

example questions:

1. Facilitated diffusion across a biological membrane requires and moves a substance

its concentration gradient.

a. energy and transport proteins … down; b. energy … down; c. transport proteins … down; d. energy and transport proteins … against; e. transport proteins … against

2. In lab, you use a special balloon that is permeable to water but not sucrose to make an “artificial cell.” The balloon is filled with a solution of 20% sucrose and 80% water and is immersed in a beaker containing a solution of 40% sucrose and 60% water. Which of the following will occur?

a. Water will leave the balloon; b. Water will enter the balloon; c. Sucrose will leave the balloon; d. Sucrose will enter the balloon; e. none of the choices will occur.

angiosperms Survival Mechanisms

How did the “game changing” adaptations of the flower, and the fruit in angiosperm plants allow them to out compete every other group of plants in the plant kingdom? Be specific and discuss how each created not only an advantage, but also the requirement for particular animals to coexist with them.

Hint: pollination is important, as well as the dispersal of seeds

The Cumberlands Outbreak of Cyclosporiasis

Question Description

 

Please read the following case:

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/8/8/02-0012_article

After that write a short analysis of two pages answering the following questions:

  • What is the source of the infection?
  • How did the biological characteristics of the pathogen influence your conclusion?
  • What biological characteristics contribute to its threat to the food supply?
  • How can you use the knowledge of its biological characteristics to prevent or control the disease?
  • Propose a strategy to mitigate the disease risk and demonstrate how the strategy addresses the biologic principles of the disease.

Hand Foot Mouth Disease

Unknown disease Scenario: A 35 year old man comes to the free clinic where you are working with a red rash on the palms of his hands and the bottoms of his feet. He says that he has had a fever for a couple of days, and is exhibiting swollen lymph glands, aching muscles and fatigue. When asked about his medical history, he indicated that he had not had any recent illnesses. What is the disease? (I think its scarlet fever) you can double make sure for me.
