Explanation of Solution

Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which the amount of bone density starts decreasing. This disease also reduces bone matrix and mineralization. It found as the result of multiple diseases or disorders that connect with the aging process. The WHO (World Health Organization) definesthat osteoporosis affects 10 million individuals age 50 years older. In female postmenopausal osteoporosis caused estrogen deficiency because cancellous bone starts diminishing.

B.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The factors associated with the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a disease or disorder that represents the loss of bone density and bone matrix and mineralization.

Explanation of Solution

Osteoporosis defines as the imbalance between bone resorption and formation where the bone resorption exceeds bone formation. These factors play a crucial role in occurring osteoporosis. Disorder of osteoporosis contributes to the loss of bone, which depends upon the age, gender, activity level, and nutritional status.

C.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way to measure bone density.

Introduction: Bone density is defined as the amount of bone mineral present in the bone tissue of an individual.

Explanation of Solution

The diagnostic method is used to identify the osteoporosis in which an individual loses bone density. To measure bone density, the use of the BMD test is preferred. The BDM test is known as a central dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. This test measures bone density at the portion of the hip and lumbar spine.

D.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The two essential factors associated with preventing osteoporosis.

Introduction: An individual can gain bone mass by doing weight lifting exercises such as walking, jogging, rowing, and weight lifting.

Explanation of Solution

The early detection and prevention of osteoporosisare important to prevent an individual from fracture and deformity. To prevent the high risk of osteoporosis, an individual does regular exercise and intake an appropriate amount of calcium and vitamin D.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The medication is used to treat backache and loss of weight due to osteoporosis.

Introduction: An individual can prevent themselves by taking calcium-rich products such as milk, paneer, curd, and citrus fruit.

Explanation of Solution

 An individual suffering from osteoporosis is recommended to make medicines. There are multiple types of medication used to treat backache and loss of weight, such as biphosphates, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), calcitonin, and RANKL inhibitor denosumab.

Using quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?
8. Aerobic respiration of a 5 mM solution of tripeptide that is composed of the following three amino acids; alanine, leucine and isoleucine. Alanine breaks down to pyruvate, leucine breaks down to Acetyl-CoA and isoleucine breaks down to succinyl-CoA.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
