Ans.

Nicotine is an alkaloid compound that causes increase in blood pressure. Nicotine makes blood vessels narrow that leads to increase in pressure of walls of blood capillaries. It causes a rise in average blood pressure and faster heart beats.

A person with a family history of hypertension would avoid the smoking as nicotine present in cigarettes increases the blood pressure, which is dangerous.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). nicotine increases blood volume to unsafe levels.'

How did early humans survive without clothes?
blsea [12.9K]
Of course we can survive without clothes. We evolved a hairless body because our ancestor was an ape that was forced to live in the hot, open savanna, where fur is not needed. In fact, many people around the world did not wear any clothes. Native Hawaiians, for example, wore no clothes when the first European explorers arrived. Amazonians and Africans also did not wear clothes. Humans evolved in Africa about 150,000 years ago, and the early humans wore no clothes. Humans started migrating out of Africa about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago. They followed the coast line and went all the way to Australia. These early migrants ended up in places that required no clothes. Only when humans migrated to places like ice age Europe and northern parts of Asia (northern parts of China, Japan and Korea) did they need to wear clothes or animal skins to stay warm. Wearing clothes blocks out the sun and these people were in danger of vitamin D deficiency, which leads to rickets. Rickets can result in muscle cramps, broken or deformed bones and even death. In order to absorb enough UV light to synthesize vitamin D, there was strong selection pressure to evolve lighter skin tones.

The habit of wearing clothes, even in places that do not require them, was spread by European Christians. Basically they forced and/or shamed the natives to wear clothes wherever they went.Of course, not wearing clothes means that humans will no longer be able to live in temperate areas around the world, at least not during the fall and winter months.

Look at the number of organisms and the amount of energy in each level of the pyramid. Why do you think there are more organisms
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

If there wasn't a lot of organisms and energy in the productive part of the triangle, then there wouldn't be a lot of third level organisms. The energy piramid would be a lot smaller then what it is here, and maybe if the energy source was low then there might not be such a vast varity of animals in the ecosystem.
