padilas [110]3 years ago

Answer:

  • by weakening the body’s immune system
  • by damaging or changing a cell's DNA

Explanation:

Tobacco contains about 60 carcinogens. The vast majority belong to three groups: 1) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 2) aromatic amines and 3) nitrosamines, the latter related to nicotine. Both tobacco and nicotine weaken the immune system of the individual, leaving him susceptible to various diseases. In addition, both tobacco and nicotine can damage or alter a cell's DNA, which can lead to cancer.

Nicotine is not a substance that directly causes cancer. However, nicotine participates in carcinogenesis by acting as an intermediary of macromolecules by its nitrosation [(bonds between nitrous groups and organic molecules), producing as a result nitrosamines (carcinogenic chemical compounds produced from nitrite and amines)] of tobacco.

Wittaler [7]
That's not true. Some people get anxiety or depression when stressed, some people get physically sick when stressed, some people get angry or emotional when stressed. Everyone reacts differently when it comes to stress.

Which component is an example of skill-related fitness?
tamaranim1 [39]

A.  The balance needed to hold a handstand without falling.

Skill-related fitness is something that your body needs to be trained to do and need focus to complete. The other answer options are your body's physical capability rather then something that takes skill and needs practice, such as balance.
