The ingredient list explains the items we are consuming, listed from least to most predominant, so that we have a good idea of what we get more or less of.

the ingredients listed on a label are listed by amount. the ingredient there is the most of is listed first and it trickles down to the ingredient there is the least of.

true because it is true

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
