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>
A synapse is some type of structure located on a neuron, that makes the exange of information between neurons possible.
The two main part of the structure are the neurotransmitter transporter and the receptors, which send and recieve information respectively and are found in every nervous cell.
I have pasted an image below, so you can see how a synapse looks.
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer:
Type I curve
Explanation:
The K-strategist are species characterized by relatively stable populations that fluctuate at the carrying capacity of the habitat or niche in which organisms reside. Elephants are considered as K-strategists because they have a low population growth rate and relatively stable populations. There are three different types of survivorship curves. The Type I curve (also referred to as A curve) is characteristic of k-strategist organisms. Humans and elephants exhibit a Type I survivorship curve in which organisms tend to die when they become elderly. These species have a small number of offspring and provide parental care to ensure their survival. In a Type II survivorship curve, species produce many offspring and only some offspring survive (e.g., birds), while in Type III survivorship curve organisms produce many more offspring and most do not survive (i.e., r-strategists such as frogs or insects).
