Answer:

D) theory

Explanation:

     Theory is the set of fundamental principles of an art or a science. Theory is a synthesized opinion, it is a general notion. From the Greek theoria which in the historical context meant to observe or examine. With its evolution the term came to designate the set of ideas, the basis of a certain theme, which seeks to convey a general notion of some aspects of reality.

     Theory is also a conjecture, an opinion formed before a fact. One theory attempts to explain something difficult to accomplish.

     A scientific theory is the speculative part of a science, as opposed to practice. It is a consistent system formed by observations, ideas and axioms or postulates, constituting as a whole a set that tries to explain certain phenomena.

    Examples of scientific theories are: Chaos Theory, Communication Theory, Knowledge Theory, Evolution Theory, Game Theory, Quantum Theory, Relativity Theory, among others.

The answer is theory which is a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.

Scurvy is a disease that until the nineteenth century was common among sailors and others whose diets were deficient in vitamin
alina1380 [7]
<h2>Scurvy </h2>

Explanation:

(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons

  • The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
  • Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
  • Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
  • Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
  • Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
  • α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
  • Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low;  enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive;  proline is not hydroxylated;  the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down;  defects in tissues that depend on collagen ; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising

(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now

British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes

Identify the landmarks on the skull front and back that should be covered by a helmet? posterior head? how far above the eyebrow
NemiM [27]

Protection for the head is needed in cases of direct collision sports like hockey and football. Collisions with another player or the turf may result in a concussion, thus all the helmets must possess NOCSAE certifications.  

The helmet should fit comfortably around all the segments of the player's head, there should be no gaps between the head and pads. It should cover the base of the skull, the pads positioned at the back of the neck should be comfortable, and at the same time should not be uncomfortable.  

The helmet should not come down over the eyes, the front edge of the helmet should be 3/4 inch or of two finger widths above the eyebrows.
