Atherosclerosis
Explanation:
Correct order of the sequence of events that leads to atherosclerosis is:
c, d, b, a
Development of atherosclerosis is caused by a high concentration of LDL‐cholesterol in the blood, and lowering the level of LDL‐cholesterol reverses atherosclerosis thus preventing cardiovascular disease
Cholesterol is the key component of arterial plaques which gave rise to the cholesterol hypothesis for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
Population studies have shown that elevated levels of both LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (apoB) 100, which is the main structural protein of LDL, are directly associated with risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events
Answer:
Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. In each case, energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.
Explanation:
Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA is useful as a molecular clock because it displays uniparental inheritance
Spongy bone has trabecular which serve as reinforcing plates against a force. The loss of spongy bones causes weakening of the internal support that the compact bone requires and the entire bone breaks.
