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.

The thyroid is an endocrine gland that regulates metabolic function through the production of all of the following hormones exce
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The thyroid is an endocrine gland that regulates metabolic function through the production of all of the following hormones except: Thyroliberin.

Thyrotropin is a peptide secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that prompts the thyroid gland to release thyroxine. It is also known as thyroliberin and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Thyrotropin-releasing factor, a peptide located in the hypothalamus of the brain and affecting glandula thyroidea secretion, acts to cause the release of TSH.

In vivo, thyrotropin controls thyroid development favourably. The gland becomes hypoplastic in its absence, either as a result of a pituitary disorder or as a side effect of thyroid hormone therapy, with a reduction in the quantity and size of thyrocytes.

How might water loss relate to the opening and closing of stomata? How does this relate to photosynthesis?
miv72 [106K]

Answer: When the plant has enough water in its cells the guard cells swell up and open the stomata. When the plant isn't getting enough water the guard cells can't swell and the stomata stay closed, so the plant doen's lose water. But if the stomata are closed photosynthesis can't happen and eventually the plant might starve.
