Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "A statin".

Explanation:

Statins a type of drug that are prescribed to treat people that are at high risk of developing a cardiovascular disease. Since Joanne is a person with history of coronary artery disease and her LDL levels remained high after trying diet changes, the next step in her treatment will be to take a statin drug. It has been proved that statin are among the most effective drug at lowering LDL levels, therefore, a treatment with a statin will be effective for Joanne's condition.

What are consequences of having a low cardiac output? how will other body systems be affected?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The answer is that it means that the oxygen would be difficult to carry throughout the body, which happens that ATP would be lacking.  Because to create energy there’s a need for respiration and it requires an oxygen.  Also, other body systems will slow down because anaerobic respiration doesn't create enough ATP for the entire body.

Describe what it means for a field of study to be considered a science
Artist 52 [7]

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

In general, field of study refers to gaining the knowledge in a particular branch. On the other hand, science means the system where we can attain the knowledge about the universe. This always delivers with theoretical and experimental descriptions in a detailed manner about natural phenomenon.  

This handles with each and every aspects about living organisms and environment. This paves the way to know more details in particular part. Hence, field of study like physics, engineering also referred a science in this manner.

Several infections of the cardiovascular system can be identified by inspecting a stained blood smear in the microscope. For the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. Epstein-Barr virus: virus visible inside red blood cells.

Explanation:

The Epstein-Barr virus is a virus or virions that cause several serious diseases such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and kind of cancers. These viruses can be detected by the making smear of blood in the electron microscope.

The electron microscope shows round capsids that have protein encased genetically material that is loosely enclosed in a membrane. These are transmitted through saliva generally.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

A 3 base section of mRNA. The ribosome reads 1 codon at a time; translation of a new protein always begins with _________, or Me
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The start codon is AUG

Explanation:

A three nucleotide sequence (represented with bases) of a DNA or a RNA which translates to a specific amino acid is referred to as codon. To begin the translation into a new protein, the first three nucleotide is always AUG (called the START codon) which is the codon for methionine.

NOTE: AUG is the initial of the bases; Adenine, Uracil and Guanine

Sayyid drew a diagram to compare the gravitational and
Jlenok [28]

Gravitational: A.is attractive only

Electromagnetic: C.attracts and repels

Both: D.has an infinite range

Explanation:

The two forces mentioned in this problem are:

- Gravitational force: this force is the force that is exerted between any object with mass. The magnitude of the force is given by

 F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the distance between the objects

This force is always attractive and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: this is the force exerted between electrically charged objects. The magnitude of the force is given by

 F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between them

This force is attractive when the charges have opposite sign and repulsive when they have the same sign. It also has an infinite range.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

Gravitational: A.is attractive only

Electromagnetic: C.attracts and repels

Both: D.has an infinite range
