The enzyme chymosin secreted in calf stomachs has traditionally been used to coagulate milk to make cheese. Explain how you could produce chymosin in a bioreactor to avoid sacrificing calves for the cheese making process. Be sure to describe the process in as much detail as possible and try to mention the required tools and techniques.
Anemia is characterized by low hemoglobin levels or a reduced number of red blood cells (both of which transport oxygen to cells). A common symptom of anemia is tiredness. Please do not copy answers from another website/source.
a) Briefly explain what the consequences are of anemia on cellular energy production.
b) Suggest at least one other cellular effect of anemia and a brief explanation of this effect.

- Hemoglobin molecules exposed to high levels of glucose areconverted to glycated products. The most common, referred to as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), contains a b-chain glycatedadduct. Because red blood cells last about 3 months, HbA1Cconcentration is a useful measure of a patient’s blood sugarcontrol. In general terms, describe why and how HbA1Cforms.arrow_forwardIn an individual with very low blood pressure orcirculatory shock, blood flow to the cells is very poor,resulting in increased lactic acid.
