Answer:

The options

A) "Medications are needed to prevent heart failure."

B) "I will take aspirin, atenolol, and captopril indefinitely."

C) "My blood pressure should be less than 130/80 mm Hg."

D) "Daily estrogen will prevent another heart attack."

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D)

D) "Daily estrogen will prevent another heart attack."

Explanation:

A reduction in the natural hormone estrogen levels could be a causative factor in heart disease increase within post-menopausal women. Estrogen is thought to show a positive impact on the inner layer of artery wall, functioning in such a way to keep blood vessels elastic.

In spite of the advantages of estrogen, the American Heart Association speaks against employing postmenopausal hormone therapy to decrease the likelihood of coronary heart disease or stroke as some research works have revealed that it vividly do not decrase the risk of heart attack but increases the likelihood of blood clots and stroke.

This evidence suggest that all three living creatures that are mentioned have a common ancestor, even though they have been split into different types of groups of living organism millions of years ago.

Science suggests that all of the living organisms on the planet have a common ancestor. Since we are talking about a common ancestor that lived few hundred million years ago, the living organisms split into different groups, and they do not resemble each other nowadays. The fruit fly is an insect, and the humans and mice are mammals, so they are into totally different groups, and it is easy to see by the genetic evidence that they are very distantly related, but the humans and mice are much more closely related because they belong to the same super family, and their connection is much more recent.

What are two reasons bees are important beyond making honey
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Bees are perfectly adapted to pollinate, helping plants grow, breed and produce food. They do so by transferring pollen between flowering plants and so keep the cycle of life turning.

The vast majority of plants we need for food rely on pollination, especially by bees: from almonds and vanilla and apples to squashes. Bees also pollinate around 80% of wildflowers in Europe, so our countryside would be far less interesting and beautiful without them.

In multiple sclerosis, identify the part of a neuron that typically hardens and disrupts the flow of information through neurons
Bumek [7]
The neuron that will most likely cause disruption in the flow of information in the brain which undergoes through the neurons is the myelin. If this hardens, this will likely disturb the person's flow of information in the brain and this usually happens when a person has multiple sclerosis.
