<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.

dusya [7]

Eutrophication of water bodies like lake, pond, shallow stretches of river, etc. is the phenomenon where excess growth of vegetation on the surface of the water takes place. This excess growth results in the clouding of the water, depletion of dissolved oxygen in water, and the death of aquatic organisms. The primary reason for the cause of eutrophication is the presence of nutrients in excess amounts in the water. The nutrients B. come from fertilizer and sewage runoff.

Which of the following will allow for the greatest reduction in an individual’s carbon footprint?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The carbon footprint can be decreased by a great amount if the incandescent bulbs are replaced with the compact fluorescent bulbs. The compact fluorescent bulbs uses approximately seventy five percent less energy than the incandescent bulbs as they do not use heating mechanism to light. This leads  to less emission of the green house gases and thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option a - replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs'.
