Sickle cell anemia is a condition where the red blood cells are deformed. which is affected by sickle cell anemia?

Ans.

Sickle cell anemia is defined as a genetically inherited disorder that causes deformation of red blood cells (RBCs) and inadequate oxygen transport. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for hemoglobin and leads to formation of a defective protein.

The RBCs transport oxygen to the various parts of body with the help of hemoglobin molecules. Due to defective hemoglobin, blood cells become sticky and rigid, and shape like sickles. The resulting sickle-shaped cells get stuck in blood capillaries that block or slow down blood flow or oxygen transport to the body organs.

Thus, 'sickle cell anemia affects oxygen transport in the body.'

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
