Answer:
The force of friction is reduced between the blocks by adding the dishwashing liquid because the liquid is slippery and this makes it difficult for the two surfaces to contact each other directly. Therefore the blocks slip past each other rather than grinding against each other, producing less friction.

Explanation:
Ecosystems have lots of different living organisms that interact with each other. The living organisms in an ecosystem can be divided into three categories: producers, consumers and decomposes. They are all important parts of an ecosystem. Producers are the green plants.
Answer:
If a person has a diet high in saturated fats, LDL cholesterol molecules can carry cholesterol from the liver to cells and to the arterial walls whereas HDL cholesterol transports cholesterol from the cells to the liver where it is converted to bile salts which can modulate cardiovascular function.
Explanation:
Cholesterol is a lipid generated in the liver that is used to make hormones and vitamin D, but can also be ingested when eating fats.
Cholesterol can be divided into two types: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein).
LDL is commonly known as the "bad cholesterol" and is responsible for the deposit of cholesterol in the walls of arteries, which generates atherosclerosis and can potentially lead to strokes or heart attacks because it occludes the vessels and makes it impossible for the blood to advance.
HDL is also called "good cholesterol" because it takes the cholesterol from the cells to the liver where it'll serve a good cause, instead of blocking the arteries.
To reduce the amount of LDL, it's best to limit the consumption of fatty meats, dairy products and other saturated fats. Foods with a good amount of HDL are those with unsaturated fats, like fish, nuts and seeds.
Ans.
Sickle-cell disorder shows defected red blood cells, due to mutation in gene that code for hemoglobin. The mutated genes for sickle-cell disease are found in higher percentage of sub-Saharan African population as it provides protection against malaria as compared to population of United States.
Malaria is common in sub-Saharan Africa region and there, natural selection favored gene for sickle cells, because it might be beneficial to people having sickle cell disease that makes them able to survive in such condition and transmit their genes to offspring.
On the other hand, in those Africans, who moved to United States, where malaria is uncommon or absent, natural selection favored normal, wild type genes, resulting in fewer people with defected sickle cell.
Thus, the evolutionary process behind this is 'natural selection.'
