Answer:

The old idea that coronary heart disease is an infectious disease has gained popularity in recent years, and both viral and bacterial pathogens have been proposed to be associated with the inflammatory changes seen in atherosclerosis. Herpes group viruses, notably cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 1, have been associated with atherosclerosis and restenosis. Helicobacter pylori and dental infections have also been linked to atherogenesis, but the evidence seems to favor a respiratory, obligatory intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association was originally found in seroepidemiological studies, but the actual presence of the pathogen in atherosclerotic lesions has been repeatedly demonstrated, and during past year the first successful animal experiments and encouraging preliminary intervention studies were published. The causal relationship has not yet been proven, but ongoing large intervention trials and continuing research on pathogenetic mechanisms may lead to the use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of coronary heart disease in the future.

Answer:

Explanation:

Alkali metals (rarely 'Hydrogen and the alkali metals')

Alkaline earth metals (in old chemistry this name applied only to Ca and its congeners)

Icosagens (unofficial name; aka Boron group; rarely Earth metals)

Crystallogens (unofficial name; aka Carbon group; rarely Adamantogens[a] or Merylides[b])

Pnictogens

Chalcogens

Halogens

Noble gases (rarely Aerogens). The Group name may have to be changed to the “Helium group” since oganesson is not expected to be noble.

There are about 5 main structures that make up a neuron. Basically, dendrites, cell body (soma), and axon. In addition, the part of the soma leading to the axon is called the axon hillock. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

How does atp get converted from food molecules to protein?

nignag [31]

Light energy has to be converted into chemical energy in ATP molecules. Plants change light into sugar molecules and both plants and animals change sugar into ATP molecules, which allows for our survival
