If plaque buildup reduces the radius of the artery by a factor of 2, the flow rate becomes 1/16th of the original.
Coronary heart disease results from a deposition of plaque in the blood vessels which transport blood to the heart. When the flow of blood to the heart is hampered or obstructed, the heart can be harmed due to a deficiency of oxygen.
Moreover, if a large section of plaque that is deposited gets displaced from an artery wall, it can get stick in other arteries in the body as well, including those present in the brain.
For convenience, an assumption can be made that the artery is cylindrical in shape with a radius of R. The flow rate of a viscous fluid (blood in this case) is determined by Poiseuille's Law, i.e. Q = (π/8) (ΔP/ηl)r4.

Answer:
The correct answer choice is A. Magma, or hot rock, being forced up within the mantel.
If you’re referring to the current Coronavirus pandemics, the reasons we want to mass vaccinate the population is to stop the spread by making it harder to find a host that it can use to replicate. The more times the RNA virus replicates, the more mutations are generated, the more likely a strain, that can escape the any immunity developed, can occur. Herd Immunity is what will help reduce the ability of a virus to spread. If the virus can’t find a host to replicate in (because the host is immune to the virus) the harder it is for the virus to spread.
2) The concentration of O2 will increase inside the cell.
The cell will want to reach equilibrium, meaning that there should be an equal number of oxygen inside and outside the cell. In the picture, more oxygen is shown outside the cell than inside so oxygen will flow into the cell until it has reached equilibrium. Therefore, the concentration of O2 will increase in the cell.
Hope this helps!!
