A 38-year-old mother of three presents to her primary care office with complaints of fatigue. She feels that her energy level has been low for the past 3 months. She was previously healthy and taking no medications. She does report that she has gained about 10 lb and has severe constipation, for which she has been taking a number of laxatives. A TSH is elevated at 25 mU/L. Free T4 is low. She is wondering why she has hypothyroidism. Which of the following tests is most likely to diagnose the etiology?
A. Antithyroid peroxidase antibody
B. Antithyroglobulin antibody
C. Radioiodine uptake scan
D. Serum thyroglobulin level
E. Thyroid ultrasound

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Antithyroid peroxidase antibody

Explanation:

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease. This condition (autoimmune thyroiditis) is caused by damage of the thyroid gland, which occurs when antibodies of the immune system attack this gland. The thyroid peroxidase test is an enzyme immunoassay widely used to measure the level of autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase. Patients with chronic thyroiditis often display a positive thyroid peroxidase test. On the other hand, thyroid ultrasound is useful for the initial evaluation of painless thyroiditis in order to distinguish nodules or multinodular goiter. Antithyroid peroxidase antibodies are commonly observed in individuals suffering autoimmune thyroiditis, whereas antithyroglobulin antibodies are observed in different thyroid disorders and autoimmune diseases. Finally, a radioiodine uptake scan measures the amount of radioactive iodine accumulated in the thyroid gland, which is useful only for diagnosing early‐stage of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Organisms and viruses both do not contain a DNA enclosing nucleus; however, these organisms differ greatly in the complexity of their structures. Generally an organism is encompassed within a semi-rigid cell wall made of peptidoglycan, which provides structural support. It is classified as gram positive if its cell wall is thick and stains purple when tested for identification. If its cell wall is thin and stains red, it is referred to as gram negative. Under the cell wall, the organisms also has a plasma membrane made up of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins inserted inside. Within its cytoplasm, ribosomes for protein synthesis and a single

what is the meaning of
•molecule
•compound
•atom
•element
•organic compound
•inorganic compound​

Answers

Molecule: a molecule is the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound that has the chemical properties of that element or compound. Molecules are made up of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among said atoms. Although oxygen is an element, it naturally has 2 atoms (O2), because it is a halogen and in order to reach 8 valence electrons and become stable and unreactive, it bonds with another oxygen atom. This means that oxygen atoms and oxygen molecules are different; one is an element, the other is a molecule.

Pure Substance: can be divided into two sub-categories: compounds and elements.

Compound: A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound, meaning that oxygen molecules (O2) are NOT compounds. NaCl, or table salt, is.

Atom: An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms.

Element: An element is a pure substance consisting only of atoms that all have the same numbers of protons in their atomic nuclei. Elements are the base, more "pure" of the pure substances. Each element is assigned a symbol. Perhaps the most recognizable of them is H, for hydrogen.

Organic Compounds: organic compounds are generally any chemical compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. The study of these is called organic chemistry. I mean, carbon is the basis of ALL known life.

Inorganic Compounds: They are any substance in which two or more chemical elements (usually other than carbon) are combined, nearly always in definite proportions. Compounds of carbon are classified as organic when carbon is bound to hydrogen. THE OPPOSITE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS.

PLEASE HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. Describe the contribution of photosynthesis and cellular respiration to the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the biosphere.

Answers

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are essential to the carbon cycle because cellular respiration involves the intake of oxygen o2 and the exhale of carbon-dioxide co2 into the atmosphere. Where photosynthesis uses the carbon dioxide and water to create oxygen and sugars through energy to repeat the cycle. Respiration in general is a process where carbohydrates are turned into dihydrogen monoxide or water and co2(carbon dioxide). Living organisms together throughout the biosphere and atmosphere work together to continue this because carbon itself is an organic substance.

Answer:

Explanation:   Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Conduction.

Explanation:

Conduction is the process in which heat energy is transferred from the hotter body towards colder body because of temperature difference between two bodies. Conduction occurs only due to physical contact between two bodies. In the conduction process, the thermal energy flows from a body with a higher temperature to the other body having lower temperature until both bodies having same temperature.

What is the difference between a GMO and cloning



Please help if you know the answer please

Answers

Answer:

A GMO Genetically Modified Product though similar to cloning is quite different. Cloning is the process of using egg cells from an individual to produce a new organism. When the baby is born, it is genetically identical to the parent, an exact copy. This process occurs in a lab. Genetic Engineering, which is used to make GMOs,  uses technology to alter or change an organism's genes. New genetic information can be added to or removed from an existing set of DNA.

So I would say that some of the differences between GMOs and cloning include that:

Cloning strives to create exact copies of an organism's parent while GMOs remove and add different genes to form desired offsprings like making a product last longer or making the product grow larger faster.

b. multiple copies of the dna sample are made

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method used to make millions to billions of copies i.e. complete copies or partial copies of a specific DNA sample, allowing scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it. The new fragments of DNA that are synthesize during Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) also serve as templates to which the DNA polymerase enzyme can attach and start making DNA. The result of this attachment in a production of huge number of copies of the specific DNA segment in a short period of time.

Milk is a nutrient-rich fluid produced by mammals. It is frequently consumed as a source of nutrients and is renowned for having a lot of calcium. Water, lipids, proteins, carbs, vitamins, and minerals are all present in milk in complicated proportions.

There is no particular botanical name for milk in the field of biology, which is the study of plants and their categorization. Different plant species are identified and categorized using botanical names.
