Answer:

The correct answer would be - high risk of developing CHD.

Explanation:

Every animal and humans need some cholesterol to regulate bodily functions such as creating hormones, vitamin d forming, cell membrane and many more. But if someone have too much cholesterol in his body, he must have developed a higher risk of coronary heart diseases or CHD.

The total cholesterol level under 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) is classified as normal for the adults. Reading between 200 to 239 mg/dL is considered as a borderline where is above 240 mg/dL is considered as high. Alejandro's reading falls under high cholesterol level so he has a higher risk of developing CHD.

Thus, the correct answer is - a higher risk of developing CHD.

Explain the difference between vegetation growth on the upwind side and the rain shadow side of a mountain
mixer [17]

Answer:

Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

The windward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that the wind blows into. This side is where all the rain tends to be because of the air cools as it rises, making clouds. The opposite side is called the leeward side. This is where the air sinks, leaving the side much more warm and dry.
