Question

Scenario/Summary

Steven and Brenda had eagerly anticipated the birth of their first child, a boy named Garth. The first year was joyous and Garth grew normally with no apparent problems other than some trauma induced blistering of the skin.

By Garth’s third birthday, Brenda noticed that his nails showed some deformities. She mentioned this to his pediatrician during his annual physical but since there were no other problems, the physician decided to just watch the condition and to keep a record of what Garth was doing.

At four, Garth exhibited thickening of the palms and soles of the feet and gradual loss of the eyebrow hair. His lovely thick eyelashes were also becoming sparse. By age five, hyperhidrosis over the nose and cheeks were observed.

Garth was referred to a dermatologist for follow up where he was determined to have a genetic mutation in the plakophilin gene resulting in a condition known as epidermolysis bullosa a form of ectodermal dysplasia.

Answer the following questions and save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

Describe the five different layers of the skin.

Describe the four different cell junctions.

  1. What is the purpose of the plakophilin gene?
  2. How would mutations in the plakophilin gene disrupt cell to cell interactions?
  3. How would mutation in the plakophilin gene lead to hyperhidrosis?

QUESTION

Initial post:

A nutrient is a substance in food that is used by the body to promote normal growth, maintenance, and repair. During metabolism, substances inside body cells are constantly built up or broken down. Let’s start this week’s discussion with the definition and comparison of glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and lipogenesis. Which is (are) likely to be occurring (1) shortly after a carbohydrate-rich meal and (2) just before waking up in the morning?

Reply post:

According to the text, “Glycogenesis is the synthesis of glycogen; glycogenolysis is its hydrolysis (breakdown to glucose); and gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrates, especially fats and proteins.” (Saladin, 2020 p. 641). It also says, “Synthesizing fats from other types of molecules is called lipogenesis,” (Saladin, 2020 p. 993). It could be known as triglyceride synthesis, as well. Now, glycogenesis is more likely to happen after eating a meal very rich in carbs, while gluconeogenesis is more likely to happen right before you wake up in the morning. NIH writes, “Lipogenesis encompasses the processes of fatty acid synthesis and subsequent triglyceride synthesis, and takes place in both liver and adipose tissue.” It’s also likely for lipogenesis to happen after eating a lot of carbs in one sitting.

QUESTION

Task:

In order to take action to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, this project will concentrate on using renewable energy sources and technology to ensure a sustainable energy future. In this task, each student will be given the option to choose any low-carbon technology. The selected technology should be introduced and identified well based on its availability and applicability to be used in Oman. The advantages and disadvantages of the selected technology will be explained during the presentation.  The group should concentrate on several facets of the chosen technology and weigh its benefits and drawbacks in terms of how it might help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The presentation must be delivered using PowerPoint to be evaluated (post this section to the Uclan board).

Draw two pictures representing a molecular / atomic / ionic view

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

A forensic chemist is given a white powder by the investigator of a crime scene. The investigator wants to know if the powder is a pure substance or a mixture. The chemist dissolves some of the powder in deionized water making a clear solution. She finds that a precipitate forms when she adds an excess aqueous solution of sodium chloride. She filters the precipitate and washes it several times with deionized water. To this filtrate she then adds an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. A precipitate forms.

Question:  Draw two pictures representing a molecular / atomic / ionic view of what occurred when a precipitate formed with the addition of sodium chloride solution. Choose the type of particle that is the most appropriate for this reaction. Place charges on any ions indicating charge values (+1, -2, etc.) when they are known. If charges are unknown indicate whether the ion is positive or negative. Clearly indicate which picture represents before the reaction occurs.
