Answer:

b. the activity of lipoprotein lipase.

Explanation:

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is considered or known to be a rate-limiting enzyme that hydrolyzes circulating triglyceride-rich lipoprotein such as very low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons.

It is known that the Lipoprotein lipase is  activated by glucagon and adrenaline. And this why the activity of LPL increases in muscle tissue and decreases in adipose tissue, during fasting while , its activity decreases in muscles tissue and increases in adipose tissue.

It is known that, it  plays an important role in breaking down fat in the form of triglycerides, which are carried from various organs to the blood by molecules called lipoproteins.

In conclusion, women fat cells in the breasts, hips, and thighs produce abundant LPL, storing fat in those body sites  , while in men, fat cells in the abdomen produce abundant LPL.

“lord randall” is an example of a ballad whose structure is
kakasveta [241]
“Lord Randall” is a Scottish ballad in the form of a narrative song. A narrative song is a song that depicts or tells a story. A ballad is unique for it directly tells a story and emphasizes climactic incidents. It strips away those details which are not important to the plot. The story of “Lord Randall” narrates about a man who has been poisoned by his lover. The story does not tell about the incident’s background nor is the audience aware why the man has been poisoned. The story just shows the man revealing that he has been poisoned, his statement of his last will and testament, and his curse on the lover who planned to kill him. The technique shown in this story is what we call the incremental repetition. The incremental repetition is usually observed in poetry of oral tradition wherein a line is repeated in a changed context or with minor changes in the repeated part.
