The correct answer is: MAO inhibitors.

MAOI - monoamine oxidase inhibitors are antidepressants that affect the enzyme called monoamine oxidase which normally removes the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine from the brain. As a consequence, neurotransmitter’s activity is increased. MAOIs interact with tyramine, amino acid found in food such as cheese, smoked sausage, and red wine. Tyramin eis normally regulated via MAO. So, when the MAO is inhibited via MAOI, tyramine reaches high levels, causing the blood vessels to narrow and resulting in critically high blood pressure.

Why is whitefish used to study mitosis
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The whitefish embryo is a good place to look at mitosis because these cells are rapidly dividing as the fish embryo is growing. ... This is why mitosis is only visible in cells that are dividing, like the whitefish embryo and the onion root tip. Mitosis can take several hours to complete.

In your own words, describe how the time required for digestion can be used to determine the time of death.
Paul [167]

Answer: Backdating the time required for food found in the stomach of the deceased to digest. Since digestion can't continue after death.

Explanation: The time taken for food to get digested can be employed to depicts time of death. This process involves understanding the period of time that usually takes the food found in the gastric of the deceased to calculate the time of death.

Different foods has varying time of digestion, so therefore, the gastric content is a good indicator to determine time of death by the doctor who is carrying out autopsy, since digestion does not continue after death.

However, it is established by scientist that food takes up to 4-6hours in the stomach depending on the size and type of food. Hence, if the status of the food found in the deceased stomach is noted accordingly and the time taken requires for digestion is also noted، the doctor can deduce the time of death accordingly from this two points.
