Answer:

Cholesterol

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is a disease which is caused due to the formation of plaques in the blood arteries which transport the oxygenated blood to the organs.

The atherosclerosis is one of the causes of the heart attack which reduces the flow of the blood to the heart.

The plaques are formed because of the accumulation of the calcium and one of the types of lipid molecule which floats in the blood in the form of lipoproteins called cholesterol.

Thus, Cholesterol  is the correct answer.

Which part is a fluid cavity of the earthworm that gives it a hydrostatic skeleton?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Option B) Coelom

Explanation:

Hydrostatic skeleton is the type of skeleton possessed by soft-bodied animals such as earthworms and sea anemones. Fluid is secreted to fill the cavity spaces (coelom) in their body. The fluid then presses against the muscular body wall, causing the muscles to contract exerting pressure against the fluid thereby causing motion

Thus, coelom is the fluid cavity of the earthworm that gives it a hydrostatic skeleton

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.
