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

Why are there so many different species of honeycreeper living on the Hawaiian Islands?
Serga [27]

Answer:

separation of populations has led to the evolution of new species

Explanation:

  • When the populations evolve to become distinct species, then this process is termed as speciation.
  • Speciation can occur due to various reasons and one of these reasons is geographic isolation that leads to separation fo the populations which then faces different evolutionary pressure and thus evolve into new species.
  • In the Hawaiin islands, there are different species of honeycreepers because of the unique geology of Hawaii due to which new volcanic islands are constantly being formed and eroded which leads to the separation of population and their evolution into new species.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This ensures that the research is corroborated by other scientists and is peer-reviewed hence increasing the veracity of the findings. This also ensures that conflict of interest is addressed whereby the findings by the company may appear to be compromised or biased because such a finding would be in favour of their own needs (such as financial gain).  Peer review in such case is  even more important because it involves humans subjects and ethics are paramount in healthcare research.
