Answer:

e. both vitamin c and carotenoids

Explanation:

Age-related macular degeneration is an eye related disease which causes our macula to degenerate. It leads to blurred vision which further impacts our abilities like sewing, reading and driving adversely. It can be cured by intake of vitamin C and carotenoids in appropriate amount. Cataract is another disease related to eyes which most commonly occurs in old age people. In this disease, the eye lenses appear cloudy because of the changes in the eye lens tissue. Beta carotene and vitamin C both are very helpful in restricting cataract.

Intakes of <u>both vitamin c and carotenoids</u> have been associated with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Macular degeneration and cataract are age-related eye diseases. It is commonly causes impaired vision and blindness in older adults. This disease can be prevented or delayed by changing lifestyle such as a good diet. Foods that we eat and supplement that we take affect our overall health and also eyes health.

Carotenoid is a plant pigment that produces bright yellow, red, and orange colors in plants, vegetables, and fruits. Carotenoid is a beneficial antioxidant that can protect you from disease and enhance your immune system. Carotenoid such as Lutein and zeaxanthin have been shown to protect the retina from oxidative changes caused by ultraviolet light. It works by absorbing the blue light. Fruits and vegetables also provide essential vitamin C, another powerful antioxidant, lowering inflammation in the body.

Besides adopting a healthy diet, there are many ways to protect and maintain your eye health including avoiding prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays and high-energy blue light, quitting smoking and getting annual eye exams.

Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is believed that glycolysis – the first phase of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells- is considered an ancient biochemical process that early organisms utilized to tap the energy required for cell functions. This is because the process does not require oxygen – because early conditions on earth were anoxic before the great oxygenation event. It is after the great oxygenation event that the Krebs cycle evolved.

Explanation:

Primary succession, type of ecological succession (the evolution of a biological community’s ecological structure) in which plants and animals first colonize a barren, lifeless habitat. Species that arrive first in the newly created environment are called pioneer species, and through their interactions they build a simple initial biological community. This community becomes more complex as new species arrive. Primary succession is distinguished from secondary succession, which is the recovery of an existing biological community after a disturbance sets back the community’s ecological structure to an earlier stage.
