Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsCholesterol plays a key role in mammals, including humans. In this context, consider the following statements:
1. Cholesterol is essential for cell membrane stability in mammals.
2. Excess cholesterol can cause plaque buildup in blood vessels.
3. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) helps transport cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver.
4. Nickel exposure has an effect on the cholesterol synthesis in human cells.
How many of the above statements are correct?Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Sterols are an important chemical component of the cell membranes of plants, animals, and fungi. The compound makes the membranes more rigid. In mammals including humans, the principal sterol is cholesterol. If it is present in high concentrations in the body, it tends to be deposited in the inner lining of our blood vessels. As the deposits accumulate, they block the flow of blood, eventually leading to chest pain, heart attack, and/or stroke.
- Statement 3 is not correct: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) refers to a low-density protein that carries cholesterol to the arteries. If there’s too much LDL cholesterol, you may have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a high-density protein that collects cholesterol from the body and takes it to the liver for removal.
Statement 4 is correct: In a recent study, the researchers also grew human cells in cultures with nickel and cultures without. They found that after 72 hours cells exposed to nickel had lower amounts of cholesterol. This was similar to nickel’s effect on ergosterol reduction in C. neoformans.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following:
- Erosion
- Salination of aquifers
- Loss of protection against storm surges
- Land losses
How many of the above are the likely impacts of sand mining?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- Sand mining (extraction) is defined as the removal of primary (virgin) natural sand and sand resources (mineral sands and aggregates) from the natural environment (terrestrial, riverine, coastal, or marine) for extracting valuable minerals, metals, crushed stone, sand and gravel for subsequent processing.
- Points 1, 2 and 3 are correct: Sand mining from rivers and marine ecosystems “can lead to erosion, salination of aquifers, loss of protection against storm surges and impacts on biodiversity, which pose a threat to livelihoods through, among other things, water supply, food production, fisheries, or to the tourism industry.
Point 4 is correct: Both inland and coastal land losses due to erosion can result due to sand mining.
