In older adults, chronic stress increases the risk of chronic inflammation and metabolic syndrome because:
A. Chronic stress increases cortisol, which increases inflammation, which suppresses insulin signaling.
B. Chronic stress increases cortisol, which decreases inflammation, which stimulates insulin signaling.
C. Chronic stress decreases cortisol, which increases inflammation, which suppresses insulin signaling.
D. Chronic stress decreases cortisol, which decreases inflammation, which stimulates insulin signaling.

So, Grime’s stress-disturbance classification vs. Winemiller & Rose’s opportunistic-equilibrium-periodic classification. Things to know: variables associated with each. Types of organisms that best fit each one (plants? Animals? Others?). Why are such classifications useful? What can we learn from them (example topics: conservation, invasive species, succession).

Can someone answer it for me and may i have the reference in apa format? thank you in advance!
1. What is cholesterol's mechanism of absorption,
synthesis, esterification, and
metabolism?
2.Does the low-cholesterol diet translate to a lower risk of
CHD?
3. Why is there a need to esterify cholesterols?
4. How does fatty acid contribute to the generation of energy via
beta-oxidation
process.
5Why is there a presence of ketones in uncontrolled type 1 DM? Why
is it
absent in type 2 DM?
6. How does phospholipid differ with triglyceride?
7. How does LP(a) differ with LDL in terms of structure?
8. What are the roles of various lipoproteins
9. What are the functions of various apolipoproteins
10. How are chylomicrons formed? How do they reach the circulation
starting
from the intestines?
11. How does chylomicron transfer its lipid content to various
tissues?
12. How does the intestinal pathway of lipoprotein metabolism
work?
13. How does the hepatic pathway of lipoprotein metabolism
work?
14. What happens to chylomicron remnants after the hydrolysis of
its triglyceride
content (at least two events)?
15. VLDL also contains cholesterol and has Apo B-100 that can
interact with LDL
receptors. Why is that it gives only its triglyceride contents to
cells?
16. What are the two fates of VLDL remnants?
17. How does LDL deliver cholesterol to cells? Explain the
mechanism
18. What are the two types of reverse cholesterol transfer
pathways? Explain
each.
19. What is the clinical significance of lipid and lipoprotein
testing?
20. What lipids and lipoproteins are associated with a higher risk
of developing
CHD?
21. Aside from certain lipids and lipoproteins, what acute phase
reactant is
considered as a sensitive predictor of risk for CHD?
22. What are the various methods used in measuring lipids and
lipoproteins?
Explain each.

If the GTPase function of Ras is destroyed, Ras will always be on/activated. This causes increased Cyclin D and S phase genes expression by transcription factor E2F. Describe how this activation of Ras causes this increased expression of both Cyclin D and S phase genes by explaining the role/function of the following:
also indicate if any of the above are a kinase or transcription factor

1- On occasion, you will see no color change in the medium, however, there is visible growth on the Simmons citrate agar surface. How would you interpret this result?
2- In most biochemical test media, you will find a source of protein such as casein, beef extract or peptone. Why does Simmons citrate agar not have any such materials?
