Some forms of cardiovascular disease involve the buildup of plaque on the inside walls of blood vessels. The buildup can put added stress on the heart and vessels, reducing or preventing blood flow to vital organs of the body. Imagine that the diagram is a circular cross section of a blood vessel. What is the area of the inside of the blood vessel (i. e., the pink part) in square units? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. The equation for the area of a circle is A = πr2, where A is area, π ≈ 3.14, and r is the radius. Recall that the radius is half of the diameter.

Which of the following best reflects what we know about how the flu virus moves between species? a) the flu virus in a pig is mutated and replicated in alternate arrangements so that humans who eat the pig products can be infected. b) a flu virus from a human epidemic or pandemic infects birds; the birds replicate the virus differently and then pass it back to humans. c) an influenza virus gains new sequences of dna from another virus, such as a herpesvirus; this enables it to be transmitted to a human host. d) an animal such as a pig is infected with more than one virus, genetic recombination occurs, the new virus mutates, the virus is passed to a new species such as a bird, and the virus mutates again and can now be transmitted to humans.
