Answer:

Atherosclerosis affects arteries, these blood vessels are elastic and flexible in order to allow good blood circulation

Explanation:

The blood vessels are classified into three types: arteries, veins, and capillaries. An artery is a muscular blood vessel that is able to carry blood away from the heart to different parts of the body. Healthy arteries need to be elastic and flexible in order to adjust their diameter and thus control blood flow by maintaining blood pressure. Arteriosclerosis is a chronic disease caused by the accumulation of fatty substances (especially cholesterol) in the artery walls, thereby difficulting blood circulation by thickening and hardening these walls.

how would you use the scientific method to answer this question: do mice live longer when they are fed high-sugar diets
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The question: Do mice live longer when they are fed high sugar diets?

Hypothesis: There are two hypothesis the null hypothesis which we assume is correct, it states that a high sugar diet will have no effect on the life span of a mouse and an alternate hypothesis that we accept if evidence shows that sugar does increase the life span if mice. It says a high sugar diet does incerease the life span of mice.

Prediction: Assume that the null hypothesis is correct. High sugar diets will not increase the life span of the mice.

Collect data through experimentation. Use some mice as a 'control'. These mice will not undergo any changes but will be kept for comparison. Expose some other mice to high sugar diets and the compare the outcome with the 'control' mice.  

Analyzing: From the experiment this you can choose which hypothesis you are going to accept. I.e. null: no change or alternate: there was a change and do some extra research to back up your hypothesis.

Hope this helps :)
