A buffer is a solution encompassing a weak acid and its conjugate base in alike amounts. This combination reduces the pH change upon addition of strong acid or base by converting H1+ (or OH1-) to weaker acids or bases. This primarily consist of compounds that stabilize the pH of a solution by removing or replacing hydrogen ions. Also, substances that resist change in pH.
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:
A) dimensional B) categorical
<span>C) diathesis D) sociological
</span>
The answer is B categorical.
<span>One criticism of the DSM noted by your author is that it adheres to a categorical model, which means that a person is seen as either having a mental disorder, or not having a mental disorder. There is little or no allowance for “degrees” of a disorder.</span>
Biochemistry is the study of the actions of the main metabolic processes of living organisms, which are protein synthesis (DNA and RNA molecules, genetic codes and how they work, enzyme formation and function, etc), glycolysis (cellular respiration, aka the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle to break down glucose molecules to release chemical energy and oxydative phosphorylation, the use of that chemical energy to form ATP molecules in which the chemical energy is put in a form the cell can use, and lipid chemistry (the study of the pathways in which fatty acids are formed into lipids and fat molecules and cholestrol formation and function).
Essentially, biochemistry covers the chemical reactions necessary for cellular and organism metabolism
Here's a graph showing the stages.
Look closely at the second stage-- the death rate is low but the birth rate is high.

D. The death rate begins to fall, but birth rates remain high for a time.</span>
