Blood pressure results from the force of blood fluids pressing against the walls of blood vessels. Hypertension, or high blood p

ressure, is often caused by a constriction of the blood vessels by fatty deposits in artery walls. However, another cause of high blood pressure can be the intake of too much sodium in foods and table salt.
Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure?
A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis.
B) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids in the blood to leave and go to surrounding cells, due to osmosis.
C) People that take in too much salt will drink more water to balance out the salt, which raises blood pressure.
D) Extra salt solidifies in the bloodstream and blocks the blood vessels, causing them to narrow, and blood pressure to go up.

The right answer is A)

Sodium is a mineral element essential for the proper functioning of the body. He is also very present in our plasma ...

High salt intake increases blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure (HTA) is a very common chronic disease, and only half are well treated and controlled. The risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (infarction, stroke, etc.) increases gradually when the blood pressure exceeds 115/75 mmHg. HTA kills nearly 8 million people every year worldwide.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Letter b. Gluconeogenesis

Explanation:

Immediately after eating we use the sugars in the food and utilize for energy and last a couple of hours. After that and about 15 hours later our body uses the energy stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, a process called glycogenolysis, that is the action of breaking the glycogen to free the energy. After 24 hours, the body starts to use another molecule for energy like fatty acids and start to synthesize glucose from other precursors, this process is called gluconeogenesis, and fuels the vital organs like the brain to maintain its function.

How might the production of antibiotics and odours have evolved?​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population. Once such a gene is generated, bacteria can then transfer the genetic information in a horizontal fashion (between individuals) by plasmid exchange

Compare the modern Cell Theory to the original Cell Theory
CaHeK987 [17]
The statements of the old cell theory are:
1. All organisms are composed of cells
2. The cell is the basic unit of life
3. Cells are produced from existing cells

The modern cell theory's statements are:
1. The cell contains hereditary information which is passed to daughter cells
2. All cells are basically the same in composition and activity
3. All basic functions occur in cells
4. Cell activities depend on intracellular structures

As is visible from the statements, the old cell theory was not as detailed and lacked the understanding of the function, structure and behavior of cells that the current theory possesses. This difference has come about after years of research, through which scientists understood the functions of cells and elaborated on the theory's statements.
