Ket [755]4 years ago
3 0
With his superior light adjusting techniques, Leeuwenhoek was able to construct microscopes which could magnify over 200 times, enabling him to perceive small "animalcules" or bacteria in water.

Furthermore, in a letter, he reports how he had discovered in the plaque of two old men who had never brushed their teeth in their lives “an unbelievably great company of living animalcules, a-swimming more nimbly than any I had ever seen up to this time. The biggest sort. . . bent their body into curves in going forwards. . . Moreover, the other animalcules were in such enormous numbers, that all the water. . . seemed to be alive.”

Hdl has a high proportion of ______, which makes it the heaviest (most dense) lipoprotein.
Sonja [21]

Hdl has a high proportion of protein, which makes it the heaviest (most dense) lipoprotein.

The five main subgroups of lipoproteins include high-density lipoprotein (HDL). All fat molecules (lipids) are transported throughout the body by lipoproteins, complex particles made of several proteins that float outside of cells and move throughout the body's fluids.

Through both direct and indirect channels, HDL mostly delivers cholesterol to the liver or to organs that can produce steroid hormones, such as the testicles, ovary, and adrenal glands.

Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), an HDL receptor that facilitates the selective uptake of cholesterol from HDL, is one type of HDL receptor that removes HDL. The indirect pathway, which is mediated by the cholesteryl ester transfer protein, is likely the most significant one in humans (CETP).

Following conversion into bile acids, the cholesterol supplied to the liver is either directly or indirectly excreted into the bile and, consequently, the intestine.

After an alarming event, your temperature, blood pressure, and respiration are high, and you have an outpouring of hormones. han
Marrrta [24]

Answer: The correct answer for the question is- Resistance phase.

"General Adaptation Syndrome" is a model of stress, which was proposed by  Hans Selye in 1936.

This model explains stress response ( through three phases that is Alarm phase, resistance phase, and exhaustion phase) and how it is related to aging and disease of organisms on exposure to stressful situations.

According to Resistance phase ( that is a second phase of stress response) of this model, the level of stress is declined once a body gives response to the stress. After the first phase ( alarming phase), overall temperature, blood pressure, and respiration becomes high.

As the stressor situation persist, the body is required to fight against the situation continuously, which is accompanied by outpouring of hormones.
