Explanation:

First Question (Heart Disease Differences)

To determine the false statement:

• Women often have atypical or no symptoms before a heart attack (true).
• Women may delay treatment due to symptom misinterpretation (true).
• Providers may overlook heart disease in women (true).
• Women are more likely to die from a heart attack than men, so "less likely" is false.

To identify the false statement:

• Prions are protein - only (true).
• Protozoa can survive outside hosts (e.g., in water), so "cannot survive outside" is false.
• Ectoparasites include fleas, ticks, lice, scabies (true).
• Bacteria are part of the normal microbiome (true).

To find the correct diabetes type:

• Type 3 diabetes is not a standard type.
• Type 1 is autoimmune, not linked to fat/activity.
• Gestational is pregnancy - related.
• Type 2 is linked to obesity (abdominal fat) and inactivity.

Answer:

The false statement is: If a woman has a heart attack, she is less likely than a man to die from it.
