Answer: c. they decrease the incidence of cholesterol deposition in arterial walls.  

Explanation:

The statin is a drug which block the action of the liver enzyme which controls the production of the cholesterol. The cholesterol is a biomolecule which aggregate inside the blood vessels such as arteries may lead to arteriosclerosis. This condition will lead to increase in blood pressure which may lead to the condition of hypertension or heart attack.

By lowering the levels of the cholesterol in the arteries the statins can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Statins are a class of drug provided in the medication to treat cardiovascular disease.

Statins act by reducing the amount of bad cholesterol called low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from blood, preventing the formation of cholesterol from the liver by blocking the enzyme and pathway of cholestrol synthesis and the degradation of the deposited cholestrol form the arterial walls which make the arteries narrow.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

List two examples of how cells' shapes are suited to their functions?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

<u>Red blood cell in humans -</u> it has no nucleus. Hence it offers the cell to carry more haemoglobin.

- they are disc shaped allowing them to pass through narrow capillaries.

<u>Root hair cells in plants-</u> they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.

<u>White Blood Cells in humans -</u> they have lobed nucleus and so can change their shape to pass through narrow capillaries.

Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, which seeds do you expect to sprout and grow?
-Dominant- [34]

Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, the seeds that are expected to sprout are the seed in the elephant poop while the seeds in the soil are not expected to sprout.

<h3>What was the Poop Lab?</h3>

The main idea of the Poop Lab is to compare the growth of seeds that have gone through the digestive system of an animal, in this case, an elephant, to a seed that has not.

The seed that had gone through the digestive system was observed to have sprouted but the seeds in the soil did not. This experiment demonstrates the role animals such as elephants play in shaping the ecosystem through seed dispersal.

The seed that passed through the digestive system of the element and then passed out into the poop received enough nutrients for growth.

However, the seed in the soil does not receive adequate nutrients.

During what stage does the DNA copy itself
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: Tightly wound chromosomes, composed of DNA, must unwind before replication. Cell replication splits a cell into two parts, both of which become new, fully functioning cells. Before this can happen, however, cells require a full complement of DNA for each of the new daughter cells that will form as a result of the split. Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.

Cell Phases: Mitosis is the process by which parent cells each divide into two identical daughter cells. However, this majority of the cell's time is spent in interphase, during which it performs normal metabolic functions necessary for the organism, such as manufacturing protein. DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase, sandwiched between the G1 and G2 phases. The cell uses checkpoint signals to ensure at the end of G1 that it is big enough to replicate and at the end of G2 to determine whether or not DNA replication has succeeded. If so, the cell can undergo mitosis, at which point DNA winds up tightly for easy transport during the process.

DNA Replication: Replication begins with DNA unwinding and unzipping, its two strands coming apart. While only one side is the “correct” code, containing the actual genetic information used to build the organism’s proteins, both can be the base for a new strand of complete DNA. The enzyme DNA polymerase matches up each base with the correlating base: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. When each pre-existing base has been matched to a nucleotide, which also contains the sugar and phosphate of the DNA’s backbone, the strand is complete.
