blondinia [14]
The answer is LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)

Arteriosclerosis is the build up of cholesrol on the inner walls of the arteries. In the long run, arteriosclerosis reduces the diameter of the blood vessels, causing high blood pressure. 
The endothelial cells of arteries have receptors that facilitate binding and transportation of the LDL hence facilitation of their accumulation in the blood vessels.

Which of the following is not a way in which humans rely on prokaryotes?
Sladkaya [172]

Scientists rely on prokaryotes to examine their structure and functions in order to come up with a good medicine. Some rely on prokaryotes to do the natural processes of decomposing and recycling matter throughout the earth's spheres.
