GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes. USES: Atorvastatin is used for the treatment of elevated total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides and to elevate HDL cholesterol. The effectiveness of atorvastatin in lowering cholesterol is dose-related, meaning that higher doses reduce cholesterol more.
Why is the ozone layer important for Earth's life forms? The ozone layer is important for Earth's life forms because it protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This made the environment able to support more complex life forms. 2.) Describe the role of cyanobacteria in changing Earth's early atmosphere. Cyanobacteria helped in changing Earth's atmosphere by adding an abundance of oxygen to it. To this day cyanobacteria's account for 20% to 30% of photosynthesis today.
SAVING THE OZONE: Part three in our series exploring on the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer â dubbed âthe worldâs most successful environmental agreementâ â explains why we need an ozone layer. The ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun, protecting life on Earth from its potentially harmful effects. When the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar UVR measured at the Earthâs surface.
