Summary Introduction

To determine:

How transferrin and ferritin participate in recycling erythrocyte components.

Concept introduction:

Blood consists of two elements- formed elements and plasma. Erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets are the formed elements of blood. Erythrocytes are the main component of formed element of blood, which is formed by the process of erythropoiesis. Erythrocytes contain a pigment called hemoglobin, which is formed of four globin protein molecules. The globin chains are composed of a heme group that contains a porphyrin ring consisting iron ion in the center to which oxygen binds.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
