Scientists can access the risks of trans fats by conducting an appropriate experiment which will show the effects of the fats on the human system.
This can be done by feeding known quantity of trans fats to rats over a specific period of time. During the period, the change in the rat weights will be measured on the daily basis and every other changes that is noted in the rats will be noted down. A control group of rats will be included in the experiment; these rats will be given normal rat feeds and not trans fats.
When the period of feeding is completed, the rats will be killed, all the organs in the rats such as liver, blood, brains, kidney, etc will be harvested and these organs will then be biochemically analysed in order to compare the changes in them with that of a normal rats.
Rats are usually used in biochemical research because their systems and that of human is comparable. Any negative effect of trans fats that is noted in the rats will also hold true for human beings.

Answer:

A. An area with low air pressure

Explanation:

The red "L" symbol is used to mark an area with a low pressure air system. A low air pressure system would cause thunderstorms, but the "L" does not mean that the area marked would cause a tornado.

Option A should be the correct answer.

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a condition that occurs when one gene affect several other phenotypic traits that are not related. The autosomal dominant allele of the genetic disease called blue sclera, is pleiotropic. It has the potential of causing also fragile bones and deafness which are entirely unrelated traits. Genetic mutation of a gene is the most likely explainable reason for the connection of these traits together.

The process of photosynthesis can be represented by the chemical formula A) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy B) C6H12O6 + 6H

C) is correct because light energy is converted into glucose in the process of photosynthesis.Also the air we breath in aka oxygen is exhaled as carbon dioxide which plants convert. into oxygen.Products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular resperation.
