This occurs because a genetic mutation changes the shape of the red blood Cell from a normally flat disk to a curved or sickle shaped disk. This altered shape ends up restricting and reducing the normal passage - flow - of RBC's through the Capillaries.

What form of anemia is characterized by large abnormal RBCs with aq reduced capacity to carry hemoglobin?

Megaloblastic anemia is characterized by large abnormal red blood cells with reduced capacity to carry hemoglobin. This condition is commonly caused by deficiencies in vitamin B12 or folic acid, leading to impaired DNA synthesis and cell division in the bone marrow.


What would happen to a cell if the number of ribosomes was reduced?

Reducing the number of ribosomes in a cell would lead to a decrease in protein synthesis, which could affect the cell's ability to function properly. This could result in slower growth, reduced metabolism, and potential disruptions in cell processes that rely on protein production.


Why are red blood cells disc shape?

To optimise the surface area available for the bonding of oxygen and haemoglobin, to form oxyhaemaglobin. Individuals with sickle cell anaemia, i.e. those with red blood cells which are not disk shaped have a reduced capacity to carry oxygen in their blood.


The collapse of an aquifer from over pumping can reduce the storage capacity of the aquifer and cause?

land subsidence or sinking. This can lead to damage to infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. It can also impact the availability of water resources, as the reduced storage capacity can result in decreased water availability for both humans and ecosystems.


What is the difference between a place with low carrying capacity and a place with high carrying capacity?

A place with low carrying capacity can support fewer individuals or species due to limited resources such as food, water, and shelter, often resulting in environmental stress and reduced biodiversity. In contrast, a place with high carrying capacity can sustain a larger population because it has abundant resources and favorable conditions, allowing for greater biodiversity and ecosystem stability. The carrying capacity is influenced by factors like climate, soil fertility, and availability of water, which directly impact the ability of an environment to support life.

What are the major signs of anaemia?

The main one is extreme tiredness, reduced exercise tolerence, anaemia can make you pale, give you palpitations and if you pull down your lower eye lid and look in a mirror the inside of your eyelid should be nice and red, with anaemia it isn't it will be pinkish and quite pale.

What is turndown capacity?

Its is process term which means the reduced capacity w.r.t. the rated capacity. For example if plant rated capacity is x and turndown capacity is 85% that means 0.85x. And similarly the turndown ratio would be x/0.85x.


What happens when hemoglobin in blood is highly reduced?

When the haemoglobin in blood is highly reduced, it leads to iron deficiency or anaemia and breathlessness followed by a pale look on the face which can be supplemented by a good amount or iron containing foods such as cereals, egg yolks, spinach and other leafy vegetables.

Why is the rate of exchange of ions is much reduced when the capacity of the resin has almost been reached?

When the resin's capacity has been reached, the active sites on the resin that exchange ions become fully occupied. This saturation means there are no available active sites for additional ions to bind, leading to a reduced rate of ion exchange. The resin needs to be regenerated or replaced to restore its ion exchange capacity.

How do you do a anemia?

anaemia is a disease that is caused by the lack of iron in the body. it is because the reduced production of red blood cells in the body. the symptoms are that one becomes pale and gets tired early and feels weakness.we should take liver meat etc. to avoid it


How do you know if your testicles have died or have stopped working?

Testicles do not normally die or stop working unless by invasive illness or trauma. Testicles produce hormones all your life, they can however, reduce their capacity to produce hormones at around 45 years old or because of some disorders. If this happens, it can be noticed by loss of energy, drying of the skin, thinning of body hair, reduced capacity to produce semen and reduced capacity for erection.


What happens if you don't intake daily need of iron?

Iron deficiency can cause anemia. The blood will have a reduced capacity to transport oxygen.
