The diet Sarah detailed does not meet the requirements for EFAs (essential fatty acids). Why would Sarahwant to be sure to meet these requirements? Choose the ALL of the functions of EFAs listed below:Eicosanoids made from ALAS are often less potent mediators of inflammation than those made fromLAs.ALAS are not required to eat as humans can make them.Omega-6 (LA) consumption is linked to reduction of the incidence of CHD and reduces blood cholesterollevels.Omega-3 (ALA) consumption is linked to reduction of chronic inflammatory-based condition incidenceand severity like cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes.EFAs form structural components of cell membranes - impact fluidity, flexibility, permeability, and theactivity of membrane-bound enzymes and cell-signaling pathways.OALAS are proven to make her smarter.

Chronic alcoholism harms the liver. Alcoholics often have a lower-than-normal level of albumin, and excess fluid tends to accumulate in their abdomen and legs. Explain how liver impairment contributes to these symptoms.
One treatment for peanut allergies is to give an allergic child increasing doses of the peanut allergen proteins, starting at a very low level and progressing to higher concentrations, stopping if any reaction occurs. Such treatments are usually successful, but at least one death has been reported. Would you agree to treat your allergic child this way? What are the risk-benefit considerations?
Histamine binds to the H1 G-protein-linked receptor to initiate the itchiness and airway constriction associated with an allergic response. If a mutation in the associated G-protein’s alpha subunit prevented the hydrolysis of GTP how would the allergic response change? More severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. Less severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. No allergic response. No change compared to normal G-protein signaling.
The enzyme trypsin is sold as a dietary enzyme supplement. Explain what happens to trypsin taken with food.
Disorders of the Immune System Autoimmune disorders involve the breakdown of an essential property of the immune system. What is it? How does this breakdown cause juvenile diabetes?
Understanding the Mechanism of Hemolytic Anemia Genetic defects in glycolytic enzymes can have serious consequences for humans For example, defects in the gene for pyruvate kinase can result in a condition known as hemolytic anemia. Consult a reference to learn about hemolytic anemia, and discuss why such genetic defects lead to this condition.

Triglycerides are transported by chylomicrons because ________. they cannot move easily in the bLood stream because they are fat based, while the blood is water based they are too small to move by themselves the chylomicrons contain enzymes they need for anabolism they cannot fit across the intestinal membrane
Some desperate cancer patients consume pills or other preparations containing shark cartilage, which the manufacturers tout as an anti-angiogenesis compound. The basis for these claims is the fact that blood vessels do not grow into cartilage. Responsible researchers point out that, regardless of the properties of cartilage, there is no way that eating it could provide any anticancer benefit. Why is this counterargument correct?
Hormones produced by the thymus play a role in the ________. development of T cells preparation of the body for childbirth regulation of appetite release of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
The Complement System Kills Microorganisms The complement system supplements the inflammatory response by directly killing microorganisms. Describe the life cycle of complement proteins, from their synthesis in the liver to their activity at the site of an infection.
It is often helpful to draw a complicated pathway in the form of a flow chart to visualize the multiple steps and the ways in which the steps are connected to each other. Draw the antibody-mediated immune response pathway that acts in response to an invading virus.
