Mama L [17]

Answer:

Cholesterol synthesizes Testosterone.

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a precursor for the byosinthesis of steroid hormones. One of them is Testosterone.

What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
earnstyle [38]

Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide builds up in your bloodstream. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gasoline, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Improperly ventilated appliances and engines, particularly in a tightly sealed or enclosed space, may allow carbon monoxide to accumulate to dangerous levels.
