Decomposers can recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water as food for living plants and animals. So, decomposers can recycle dead plants and animals and help keep the flow of nutrients available in the environment
Anatomy During Contraction
-Sarcomere, itself, is shorter
-H-zone is shorter (part of A-band that doesn't have actin filaments in it)
-I-band gets shorter (part of sarcomere lacking myosin)
-A-band stays the same size (zone that contains myosin)
Answer: B. schistosomiasis
Explanation:
Swimmer's itch is also called as cercarial dermatitis. It appears as a skin rash. It is typically an allergic reaction which is caused by a parasite.
Swimmer's itch is the symptom of Schistosomiasis. It is a disease which is also called as snail fever. It is caused by the parasitic flatworm called as schistosomes. This parasite infects the urinary tract and intestine in humans. Other symptoms include the diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stool and blood in the urine.
Answer: The element with the greatest influence on cholesterol levels is the fat content of food. Not only the amount of cholesterol, but also the type of fat.
Explanation:
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in the body, which is used to make hormones and vitamin D. The liver makes cholesterol to handle these tasks, but cholesterol can also be incorporated into the body through foods such as meat, dairy, and poultry. If you consume a lot of these, the cholesterol levels could become too high.
There are two types of cholesterol:
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good cholesterol”. It transports the excess of cholesterol to be expelled so<u> it wont end up in the arteries. </u>
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad cholesterol”.<u> It transports cholesterol to the arteries, where it may collect in artery walls.</u> This could lead to a buildup of plaque known as atherosclerosis which can increase the risk of blood clots and if one of them breaks away and blocks an artery, it could cause a stroke or heart attack.
If there is a predominance of saturated fatty acids in the fat of the diet, a rise in serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol is caused. To lower the bad cholesterol, you should limit foods such as milk fats, fatty meats or sausage and include more fibre in your diet. On the other hand, <u>polyunsaturated fatty acids - for example, those present in seed oils or fish - produce their reduction. Monounsaturated fatty acids, such as those provided by olive oil, act like polyunsaturated ones and, in addition, tend to raise HDL-cholesterol, so their use entails a greater benefit.</u>
C=C, the double carbon bond creates a kink in the chain of carbons, and prevents the fats from stacking neatly and forming a solid. The double carbon bonds present in canola oil are why it is a liquid at room temperature, while the lack of such bonds in butter allows for the molecules to lay flat on one another, making butter a solid.
