Atherosclerosis refers to the build-up of fats and cholesterol in the walls of blood vessels (Option A).

<h3>What is atherosclerosis?</h3>

Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the build-up of fats and cholesterol in the walls of blood vessels.

This build-up of fats narrows the blood vessels, thereby difficulting the movement of blood in the bloodstream.

The symptoms of atherosclerosis include, among others, chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue.

What part of the rotifer is responsible for crushing food?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Rotifers are specialists at living in habitats where water dries up regularly.

The Monogononta, which have males, produce fertilised 'resting eggs' which can resist desiccation (drought) for long periods.[11]

The Bdelloids, who have no males, contract into an inert form and lose almost all body water, a process known as cryptobiosis. Bdelloids can also survive the dry state for long periods: the longest well-documented dormancy is nine years. After they have dried, they may be revived by adding water. In this, and several other ways, they are a unique group of animals.[12]

Explanation:

The front has a ring of cilia circling the mouth. This gave the rotifers their old name of "wheel animalules". There is a protective lorica round its body, and a foot. Inside the lorica are the usual organs in miniturised form: a brain, an eye-spot, jaws, stomach, kidneys, urinary bladder.

Rotifers have a number of unusual features. Biologists suppose that these peculiarities are adaptations to their small size and the transient (fast changing) nature of its habitats.

What kind of currents bring warm air to land?
Zinaida [17]

Answer: A warm current is just the reverse. A warm current is moving away from the Equator toward the poles. The water in a warm current is warmer than the surrounding water.

Explanation: The surface water temperature varies considerably between the Equator and the poles. As the ocean water is distributed across the Earth's surface by drifts and currents (see the infrared satellite photo of the warm Gulf Stream moving north along the east coast of Florida), warm water from the lower latitudes is moved into the higher latitudes and cold water is moved Equatorward. If you will remember, we noted in the section on Latitude that this redistribution of heat by ocean water is one of the major ways excess energy is moved poleward (and cold water is moved Equatorward).

I hope this helps, good luck

What is the product of meiosis I?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Meiosis I, a reductional division of two haploid cells produces offspring cells that are not genetically identical with the event of recombination. Haploid girl cells have half the original/parent cell chromosomes.

Explanation:

meiosis II, an equational or mitotic division, divides the haploid cells created in meiosis I to produce four identical daughter cells that ultimately form the male/female gametes (egg/sperm).

Here chromatids split in contrast to meiosis I when homologous chromosomes apart.
