The answer is; obesity can cause diabetes

It is believed that obesity caused stress on the body cells making them produce cytokines, proinflammatory markers that make them resistant to insulin. Obesity can also impair the beta-islets cells of the liver that produce insulin. All these make the body's response to glucose levels unregulated causing diabetes.

Explain how individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors.
irga5000 [103]
Individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors is a statement which reflects reality. Firstly, susceptibility to certain diseases usually or often runs in a family so that if there is say, diabetes in the father and grandmother for example, the son or daughter has more chances of getting it so this is a genetic susceptibility.. Also, some families are more prone to cancer so that given the right circumstances, cancer can develop. So it is usually a combination of both genetic and environmental causes that results in a disease. An example of public health could be when smallpox was deliberately introduced to the First Nations people in British Columbia, Canada back in the 1800's to decimate them and remove their resistance to the gold mining hordes. Since the First Nations had no anti-bodies to counteract such a disease unlike the white men who introduced it to them, then they easily fell prey to it and died within days of contracting it.

Which gas does not occur naturally in the atmosphere in any amount but was solely created by human activity? Support your answer
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Carbon monoxide.

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide is a gas that consists of an oxygen and a carbon to be able to fulfill the complete molecule, it is a potentially dangerous gas for life on this earth.

On the other hand, what differentiates it from carbon dioxide is that it has two oxygens that are coupled with a carbon to fulfill the complete molecule.

Both gases are pollutants, and produced by man, it is considered that these in high partial pressures in the atmosphere generate a mortal potential for humans since they have more affinity with the hemoglobin protein that is the human gas transporter par excellence, the which oxygenates the tissues.

If the oxygen drops in partial pressure and these toxic gases increase, the hemoglobin having a higher affinity will bind to them and toxify the human body, preventing oxygenation.

The sudden death of brain cells when their blood supply is interrupted is called
barxatty [35]
The only correct answer in this case is B - a stroke.

None of the other answers could be counted as correct here. 

While A - a heart attack is conceptualy similar, when we're talking about a heart attack, we're talking about not enough oxygen that gets delivered to the heart - because something is blocking it. 

C - hypertension on the other hand means someone has a higher blood pressure than is usual for a regular human being, which puts more strain on his cardiovascualr system. 

and D - atherosclerosis doesn't come even close to be correct :)
