Infant diagnosed with circulatory problems and anemia.
This disease is hereditary.
The mother has a history of Sickle Cell Anemia on her family's side.
Red blood cells slow down blood flow by blocking blood vessels
Some complications are stroke, pulmonary hypertension, organ damage, gallstones and more.
In order for an infant to be diagnosed, both their parents must carry the Sickle Cell Gene.
The plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell. It acts as a selectively permeable barrier
The cytoplasm is the intracellular fluid surrounding the organelles.
The nucleus is the organelle control center. It controls the cellular activities.
The mitochondrion is the "power house" of the cell. It is the threadlike organelle that provides most of the ATP.
Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
Rough ER are the cell's membrane factory. this is where integral proteins and phospholipids form the cellular membranes.
Smooth ER metabolizes lipids , synthesize cholesterol and phospholipids, along as synthesize the lipid components of lipoproteins.
Golgi apparatus is the "traffic director" of the cell. it modifies, concentrates, and packages the proteins and lipids made at the Rough ER.
Peroxisomes contain powerful enzymes.
Lysosomes dispose of invading bacteria and cell debris.
Microtubules are cylindrical structures made up of tubular proteins. These support and give the cell its shape, they also form centrioles, cilia, and flagella.
Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information. The four different kinds of nucleotides are strung together.
Proteins are complex polymers. They help with muscle contraction, transporting oxygen in the blood, and the immune system.
Lipids are a major component of cell membrane. They are insoluble in water and have long term energy storage. Examples of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes.
Carbohydrates are simple sugars that provide energy. There are three different classes; monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Nucleotide is the sugar in ribose in the RNA, deoxyribose in DNA.
Chromatin is in eukaryotic chromosomes. It's the complex of DNA and associated proteins and RNA that make basic material of chromosomes.
Centromeres are the specialized center of eukaryotic chromosomes.
Telomeres are a specialized structure at each chromosome. In linear chromosomes, need to be protected from degradation by enzymes.
Group A are hydrophobic amino acids; R group is non polar; Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine.
Group B are hydrophilic, uncharged amino acids; R group is polar; Cystein, Serine, Threonine, Glutamine, Asparagine, Tyrosine.
Group C are acidic amino acids; R group is acidic or negatively charged; Glutamic acid, Aspartic acid.
Group D are basic amino acids; R group is basic or positively charges; Lysine, Arginine, Histidine.
Peptide bonds are the sequence and number of amino acids ultimately determine the protein's shape, size, and function.
Primary structure of proteins is a sequence fo amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
Secondary structure of proteins are local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to interactions between atoms of the polypeptide chain.
Tertiary structure of proteins is a three- dimensional structure of a polypeptide. This is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids in the protein.
Quaternary structure of proteins are made up of multiple polypeptide chains; subunits. These subunits come together to give its quaternary protein.
