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.

There are six classes of nutrients that must be considered when planning your diet: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitami
KiRa [710]

Answer:

<u> Essential</u> nutrients cannot be synthesized by the human body but are required for optimal functioning. Therefore. They must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are prime examples.

You consume macronutrients (water. proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in large quantities as opposed to <u>micronutrients</u> which you consume in small quantities

<u>Dehydration</u> can develop very quickly when exercising in hot/humid weather conditions.

<u>Proteins</u> are also called 'bodybuilders" due to their function within the body. <u>Amino acids</u> are the building blocks of proteins.

Explanation:

Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body but cannot be synthesized by the body.  They are obtained from external sources such as vegetables or synthesized artificially in the laboratories. Micronutrients as the name implies are taken in small amounts. Examples are the different types of vitamins.  

Dehydration occurs when a person loses a good amount of water through sweating or urination. It can easily occur while exercising in hot weather conditions. Proteins repair the cells in our body and are, therefore, rightfully referred to as bodybuilders. Amino acids form proteins.

nekit [7.7K]

Alternation of generations in plants permits both mitosis and meiosis but at different stages.

Hope it helps,

I'm not so sure.
