The armpit isn't the most precise but it is close. Under the tongue, across the forehead, as long as you have the proper tools (thermometer, the thermometer meant for foreheads) you should get a fairly accurate reading.

Algae: any of numerous groups of chlorophyll-containing, mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms ranging from microscopic single-celled forms to multicellular forms 100 feet (30 meters) or more long, distinguished from plants by the absence of true roots, stems, and leaves and by a lack of nonreproductive cells in the reproductive structures: classified into the six phyla Euglenophyta, Crysophyta, Pyrrophyta, Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta.

Amboeda: any of a large genus (Amoeba) of naked rhizopod protozoans with lobed and never anastomosing pseudopodia, without permanent organelles or supporting structures, and of wide distribution in fresh and salt water and moist terrestrial environments

Asexual reproduction: reproduction (as cell division, spore formation, fission, or budding) without union of individuals or gametes

Cilia: minute short hairlike process often forming part of a fringe

Diatom: any of a class (Bacillariophyceae) of minute planktonic unicellular or colonial algae with silicified skeletons that form diatomaceous earth

Where does the oxygen used in cellular respiration end up?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Oxygen used in cellular respiration ends up in ATP Synthesis in Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Since oxygen is the last electron acceptor in Electron transfer chain, the H ions flow through ATP synthase for ATP synthesis. The electrons from the NADH and FADH are pumped from the matrix of mitochondria to inter-membrane space. The energy released due to the proton gradient formed is used for making ATP.

Higher Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Is Associated with Increased Risk of Incident Coronary Artery Disease in the Atheroscler

Eddi Din [679]

Yes, it is true that Higher Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Is Associated with Increased Risk of Incident Coronary Artery Disease in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.

Objectives:

To test the hypothesis that higher intake of ultra-processed foods is associated with higher risk of coronary artery disease.

Methods:

A total of 13,548 adults aged 45-65 y from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study were included in the analytic sample. Dietary intake data were collected through a 66-item FFQ.

Ultra-processed foods were defined using the NOVA classification, and the level of intake (servings/d) was calculated for each participant and divided into quartiles.

We used Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic splines to assess the association between quartiles of ultra-processed food intake and incident coronary artery disease.

Results:

There were 2006 incident coronary artery disease cases documented over a median follow-up of 27 y.

Incidence rates were higher in the highest quartile of ultra-processed food intake (70.8 per 10,000 person-y; 95% CI: 65.1, 77.1) compared with the lowest quartile (59.3 per 10,000 person-y; 95% CI: 54.1, 65.0).

Participants in the highest compared with lowest quartile of ultra-processed food intake had a 19% higher risk of coronary artery disease (HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.35) after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and health behaviours. An approximately linear relation was observed between ultra-processed food intake and risk of coronary artery disease.

Conclusions:

Higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease among middle-aged US adults. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and to investigate the mechanisms by which ultra-processed foods may affect health.
