<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Phytosterols

Cholesterol or LDL

Sterol and stanol esters, also go by the name<u> phytosterols</u> and help lower <u>blood cholesterol level or LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Phytosterols also known as plant sterol and stanol esters are naturally occuring compounds found in plant cell membranes. </u>
  • <em><u>When consumed, phytosterols, compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system since they are structurally similar to cholesterol. This will result in the blocking of cholesterol absorption thus reducing the amount of cholesterol in blood.</u></em>
  • Phytosterols have been found to lower total cholesterol and LDL or bad cholesterol in the blood. They are so effective and it is recommended for people with high cholesterol to consume 2 grams of phytosterols per day.

Which statement summarizes the process shown in the diagram?
stellarik [79]

The best answer would be:

A. DNA is being transcribed into mRNA.

If you'd like to know why:

In the image shown, you can see the <u>BLUE </u>strands and the <u>RED </u>strand. The Blue strand is DNA and the Red strand is mRNA. What is happening in the picture is TRANSCRIPTION. It is the process of making an RNA copy of the DNA strand to create proteins based on the DNA strand.

The <u>GREEN</u> blob is most likely RNA polymerase. Its job is to synthesize or make a complementary RNA strand of the DNA by assembling nucleotides to form an RNA strand based on the DNA template.

Male cones grow near the of the plant while female cones are located near the
Rom4ik [11]

Male cones grow near the<u> lower region</u> of the plant, while female cones are located near the<u> top of the tree.</u>

Sexual Reproduction in Gymnosperms :

The lifecycle of a gymnosperm is also characterized by the alternation of generations, just as the lifecycle of an angiosperm. In conifers, such as pines, the sporophyte is the part of the plant that is green and leafy, and the gametophytes, in both male and female, are found in the cones. Female cones are distinguishable from male cones by their bigger size and their location closer to the crown of the tree. Male cones, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be found closer to the base of the tree. Because the pollen is dispersed and carried by the wind, it is impossible for a gymnosperm to self-pollinate due to the configuration of the plant.

All eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria. What does this mean?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Mitochondria- often called the powerhouses of the cell — enable eukaryotes to make more efficient use of food sources than their prokaryotic counterparts. That's because these organelles greatly expand the amount of membrane used for energy-generating electron transport chains.
