"Even though the number has declined over the past 40 years, coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for <u>25% </u>of all deaths."

Explanation:

According to the CDC report, coronary heart diseases (CHD) are still the main reason for deaths in the United States. Almost one in every four deaths is due to CHD and once every 37 seconds according to the CDC data. The percentage varies between individuals based on their ethnic or racial group patterns.  

Sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical exercise; mental stressors; overweight or obesity; unhealthy diet with poor nutrition; diseases like heart diseases, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders; addiction to smoking and alcohol are all the main reasons for this disease being highly prevalent still.

Describe the Cell Cycle [Interphase, G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase]<br> describe them all please :)
Svet_ta [14]

<em>G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents. The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells. The S phase only begins when the cell has passed the G1 checkpoint and has grown enough to contain double the DNA. S phase is halted by a protein called p16 until this happens.</em>

Explain why organisms are more likely to be well preserved in mud than in sand? Justify your response in
xenn [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.

But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.
