Explanation:

c. "Taking this medication helps reduce my risk of stroke and heart attack."

In type II diabetes, the body is unable to adapt to the insulin it produces; this condition has several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular events. A pro-drug, ramipril belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) family- it is metabolized in the kidney and more significantly, the liver. This drug is a molecule that acts as an enzyme inhibitor for ACE; it converts angiotensin I (ATI) to angiotensin II (ATII) which in turn allows for blood pressure regulation. Additionally it maybe used in the management of other conditions such as:

  • Nephropathy
  • Heart failure
  • Asthma

It may also reduce the risk of several conditions in persons at risk for cardiovascular events...

  • Fatality
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke

Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford’s model of the atom? The atom is mostly empty space. The atom cannot be divi
Dovator [93]

Answer: The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Before to Rutherford, the accepted model for the atom was Thomson's model:

The atoms were a positive sphere, with electrons occupying space in it".

This was called the "plum pudding model".

Then came Ernest Rutherford, and he created a model where the atoms are mostly empty space (void) with a positive charged nucleus (really compressed in the center), and the electrons were orbiting around it.

Then the correct option is that the atom is mostly empty space.
