24
Q

Proteins have 3 states

A

primary
secondary
tertiary

25

26
Q

___% of materials is dissolved and transported in the blood

A

2

Ions, nutrients, waste products, gases, regulatory substances(hormones) make up 2% of the blood grouped as __

A

solutes

28
Q

Plasma has 3 major components

A

protein
water
other solutes

29
Q

3 formed elements in blood

A

Platelets
white blood cells
red blood cells (not cells, formed by cells)

30
Q

formed element
hundreds of thousands in blood
trigger blood clots
small fractional pieces of cells

A

platelets

31
Q

formed element

only true cell in formed element

A

White blood cells

32
Q

Not a cell
formed by cells
formed element

A

red blood cells

33
Q

form as cytoplasm and membrane

A

platelets

34
Q

liquid protein whose nature can change to a sticky fibrous, strand-like protein

A

Fibrinogen

35
Q

sticky fibrous state of protein that was originally in liquid form; mass of material becomes a blood clot blocking the flow of blood from the wound.

A

fibrin

36
Q

How many steps for turning fibrinogen to fibrin?

A

14 steps

37
Q

genetic disease found on the X chromosome disrupts formation of fibrin

A

hemophilia

38
Q

Why are males more probable to have hemophilia?

A

males only need the X chromosome to have the genetic gene for hemophilia. However females need both X chromosomes to have the gene.

39
Q

White blood cell 2 important roles

Defense: fight disease and infection

Janitorial crew: clean up of dead cells, debris & kill cancer cells
