Why does the presence of alpha – fetoprotein interfere with the result of protein analysis by electrophoresis in a pregnant woman?
Why does the presence of alpha – fetoprotein interfere with the result of protein analysis by electrophoresis in a pregnant woman?
- It causes coagulation factors to form in the electrophoretic pattern
- It creates undesirable wave (band) between beta and gamma globulin bands in the electrophoretic pattern (correct)
- It leads to an inaccurate measurement of albumin levels
- It reduces the overall protein concentration in the blood sample
Why is it difficult for humans to absorb cellulose?
Why is it difficult for humans to absorb cellulose?
- Cellulose has a complex molecular structure that prevents absorption in the human digestive system
- Cellulose contains high levels of phosphorus, which competes with calcium absorption
- Cellulose consists of repeating units of glucose bound together by beta-linkages, which humans cannot break down due to absence of the necessary enzyme (correct)
- Cellulose is a polysaccharide that interferes with the absorption of essential vitamins
