There are choices for this question namely:

A. Cirrhosis
B. Hepatitis
C. Nephritis
<span>D. Rhabdomyolysis
</span>
The correct answer is "rhabdomyolysis". The major adverse effect that is related to simvastatin intake is rhabdomyolysis or the death of skeletal muscle tissue causing the release of myoglobin to the bloodstream. Myoglobin elimination through the kidneys may impair kidney function and cause acute renal failure that is why kidney function tests are requested. Myoglobin metabolism in the liver also puts stress to the organ that is why liver function tests should be requested.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Bacteria provides vitamins to humans

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that bacteria provides vitamins to humans.

<u>By definition, mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both benefit from each other.</u>

Bacteria in the gut of humans that provides vitamins to humans also benefit by making the human gut their shelter. While the vitamins represent an important nutrient to humans for their proper functioning, the shelter is also necessary for the bacteria for their safety.

<em>Hence, the observation that bacteria provide vitamins to humans is consistent with the argument of researchers that some bacteria found in the human gut are in a mutually beneficial relationship with humans.</em>
