Question 2

A friend of yours wonders out loud, I wonder why we grow older? Enlighten them by comparing and contrasting the rate-of-living, cellular, and programmed cell death theories of aging. In your discussion, be sure to describe the role of telomeres, cross-linking, and free radicals in the process.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

The rate-of-living theory postulates that organisms have only so much energy to expend in a lifetime. The rate of a creature's metabolism is related to how long it lives. The three cellular theories state that aging occurs at the cellular level. The first postulates that the number of times that cells can divide limits the life span. Telomeres are the tips of chromosomes that play a major role in aging by adjusting the cell's response to stress and growth stimulation based on cell divisions and DNA damage. A second cellular theory is based on a process called cross-linking, in which certain proteins in human cells interact randomly and produce molecules that are linked in such a way as to make the body stiffer. A third type of cellular theory proposes that aging is caused by unstable molecules called free radicals, which are highly reactive chemicals produced randomly in normal metabolism. Programmed-cell-death theories propose that aging is programmed into our genetic code. Programmed cell death appears to be a function of physiological processes, the innate ability of cells to self-destruct, and the ability of dying cells to trigger key processes in other cells.

Children with strabismus (crossed eyes) can be treated. They are not able to outgrow this condition on their own, but with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age. It is important for infants to have eye examinations as early as possible in their development and then another at age 2 years.

Carbamazepine can interfere with the results of home pregnancy tests. If you are taking carbamazepine, do not try to test for pregnancy at home.

Did you know?

Side effects from substance abuse include nausea, dehydration, reduced productivitiy, and dependence. Though these effects usually worsen over time, the constant need for the substance often overcomes rational thinking.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Immunoglobulin injections may give short-term protection against, or reduce severity of certain diseases. They help people who have an inherited problem making their own antibodies, or those who are having certain types of cancer treatments.
