Sickle Cell Anemia is a hereditary disease that changes the smallest and most important components of the body. A gene causes the bone marrow in the body to make sickled shapes‚ when this happens; it causes the red blood cell to die faster. This is what causes Hemolytic Anemia. Older children and adults with sickle cell disease may experience a few complications‚ or have a pattern of ongoing problems that shorten their lives. The most common and serious complications of sickle cell disease are anemia

In this paper I will describe the head to toe mechanics of what a normal‚ athletic volleyball block consists of. This movement may seem simple when watching a player perform it on the court; however it is a very complex muscular movement. There will be three phases I will explain in this movement. First the athletic position or “start phase”‚ next the jumping motion or “active phase” and finally will be the landing known as the “ending phase”. I will be describing every motion‚ as well as what plane

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

4f and 5f block elements 1. Name the 4f – block elements and give their electronic configuration. Why are Sc‚ Y‚ and La included in the list of lanthanide elements 2. What is lanthanide contraction? How does it affect the chemical behavior of Zr/Hf‚ Hb/Ta‚ Mo/W ? 3. Contrast the electronic spectra of the lanthanide and transition metal ions. Why do the lanthanide ions give rise to very sharp bands in their electronic spectra and why are the magnetic properties of their complexes little affected by
