View Available Hint(s)for Part C
Select all of the sentences below that correctly describe the role of minerals in healthy bone tissue and osteoporosis risk.
Select all that apply.
A)Sufficient intakes of magnesium and potassium are associated with increased bone health.
B)Regular consumption of calcium during childhood and adolescence is related to lower bone mineral density in older adults.
C)The most effective way to prevent loss of bone mass and elasticity is to maintain a high bone mineral density.
D)Dramatic weight loss results in less stress placed on the bones, thereby improving bone mineral density.
E)Weight-bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of falls and fractures.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the activation of certain signal transduction pathways
causes calcium to be removed from bones, leaving them brittle and more likely to break
under moderate pressure.
Current research suggests that osteoporosis can be initiated under conditions of low cal-
cium intake in order to increase the availability of calcium for other biological roles in the
body.
Which of the following describes the conditions that would be most likely to initiate
osteoporosis?
A
B
с
D
insufficient amounts of calcium to allow the replication of DNA molecules during cell
division
insufficient amounts of calcium to maintain the membrane potential established by the
sodium-potassium pump
insufficient amounts of calcium ions to facilitate efficient transduction of neuronal
signals
insufficient amounts of calcium to be used in the fixation stage of the Krebs cycle in
photosynthesis

- Huntington chorea is an inherited disorder, with children of a parent with the disorder having a 50% chance of developing the disease. An individual with the disease usually does not manifest symptoms until he or she is between 30 and 45 years of age. The disease then progresses to death over the next 10 to 15 years. If a child of an affected parent has not developed symptoms by the age of 45, it is not likely that the symptoms will ever develop. Discuss your thinking process when deciding whether you would or would not choose to have the testing to know if you will develop Huntington chorea.arrow_forward(Q003) What is the minimum number of individuals (MNI) represented? a) 1 B)4 C)2 This anthro please do it right now Answer question. 2 is the picture in the bottom.
