What would most likely happen if a person increased the amount of saturated fat in his or her diet?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The person's risk of cardiovascular disease would increase.

Explanation:

saturated refers to all single bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, meaning no kinks in the chain. The hydrocarbon has the most number of carbons it can have, as there are all single bonds. If the hydrocarbon has even one less carbon, there would be kink, and it would be unsaturated and liquid. Our body needs less carbon, so unsaturated fats are better. But having saturated fats means no liquid, rather solid, which means harder for the blood to get to the heart. So your risk would cardiovascular disease would increase

which of these statements is true about biogeochemical cycles? a) in biogeochemical cycles, nutrients are not synthesized anew b
mafiozo [28]
The answer is a) in biogeochemical cycles, nutrients are not synthesized anew but are recycled in the <span>biosphere.

Biogeochemical cycles are pathways by which chemical substances move through biosphere and geosphere (lithosphere), as well as atmosphere and hydrosphere. In these cycles nutrients are recycled, they are not lost. Let's take for example a carbon cycle:
</span>

<span>:- Carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration.</span>

<span>- Producers (plants) absorb carbon dioxide and make carbohydrates in photosynthesis.</span>

<span>- Consumers (animals) eat producers and intake carbohydrates.</span>

<span>- After the death of both producers and consumers, decomposers (such as Actinobacteria, or other bacteria or fungi) eat that dead organisms and carbon are released into the environment.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So, carbon is not synthesized anew, but it is recycled.</span>
