Answer:
The answer is Vitamin E or α-tocopherol.
Explanation:
Vitamin E is a <u>fat-soluble</u> vitamin is first absorbed in the small intestine and is then <u>stored at the liver</u>. It is an <u>antioxidant</u> which <u>protects cells from free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS)</u>. It can also prevent bad cholesterol from depositing in the blood vessels.
Vitamin E can be <u>naturally found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils</u>. As a dietary supplement, it takes the form of α-tocopherol. The RDA depends on the age of the person, as it may range from <u>4 mg to 15 mg per day</u>.
<u>Vitamin E deficiency is so rare</u> that it will only occur if the person has a <u>fat malabsorption illness like Crohn's disease, abetalipoproteinemia</u>, etc. Symptoms of deficiency include <em>muscle weakness, retinal degradation, peripheral neuropathy, and an immunocompromised state</em>.
D is the answer to the question
Because plants go through a cycle(the cycle is seed, seedling, plant, flower and tree.) and it takes time for the plant food, water, and nutrients to go though the plant.
Answer:
1. interactions
2. environment
3. sun
4. photosynthesis
5. chemical
6. producers
7. food
8. energy
9. organisms
10. herbivores
10. first
12. Heterotrophs
13. second
Explanation:
An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms
interacting with each other and the environment. The source of energy that fuels most ecosystems is the sun. Plants use the Sun’s energy to produce food in a process called photosynthesis.
Organisms that use energy from the Sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs. They are also called producers because most other organisms depend on autotrophs for food and energy. Heterotrophic organisms that can’t make their own food may obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called an herbivore. Herbivores are also called first order heterotrophs. Heterotrophs that feed on other herbivores are second order heterotrophs.
