As the question is incomplete and there are no statements available based on which the question can be answered. But based on the knowledge it can be answered.
Answer:
Most of the corals contains photosynthetic algae which are known as zooxanthllae which lives in the tissues of the corals. Algae and corals have mutualistic relationship.
The corals provide algae space to live and algae provides coral food such as glucose and glycerols to them which are considered as products of photosynthesis.
If the producers are hampered by the catastrophic event then the main source of the food will be hampered. There will be less or no food source for the corals which covers a large area in the marine ecosystem.
There are chances that there will be more load on the other photosynthetic organism in water as there will be more population dependent on them for food.
Hence, if there is a loss of habitat for these protist other levels of food chain will be affected due to inter connection.
Answer:
Option A, a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract
Explanation:
The complete question is
If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development?
a) a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract
b) a drug to treat diabetes that irreversibly inhibits an enzyme in the metabolic pathway to synthesize glucose
c) a compound that acts as a competitive inhibitor for a digestive enzyme produced only in the presence of certain foods
d) a compound that inhibits enzymes by significantly changing the ph throughout the body
Solution
Productive avenue of a drug simply means producing an drug that not only treats the main disease or disorder but also functions to inhibit the causative agent activity. In case of option A, both the objectives of producing drug are met and hence it is the right choice.
High blood pressure usually affects the blood vessels by narrowing them and in severe cases may rupture them. If a drug as stated in option A is produced, it will not only rectify the effects of high blood pressure but will also prevent the blood vessels from narrowing by inhibiting the activity of enzymes responsible for producing chemical that leads to blood vessel contraction.
Hence, option A is correct
The medicare prospective payment system for reimbursing hospitals utilizes APCs.
APC stands for Ambulatory Payment Classifications that includes the outpatient payment system which is applicable only to the hospitals. There are different reimbursement methods for hospitals outpatients, inpatients, physicians, etc.
