Overall, how has science impacted human health?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>C. Increased average lifespan to 78 in the US.</em>

Explanation:

Science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US. Over the last couple of decades, the life expectancy of Americans has increased significantly than what it was 200 years ago. This can be attributed to:

1. Vaccinations- Since the invention of vaccinations, diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera and polio which were major causes of death 200 years ago have virtually been eradicated in the US.

2. Abundant and safer foods available- Commercial and large scale farming has made a wide variety of nutritious foods easier to obtain.

3. Improved sanitation- Safer drinking water, sewage treatment and stricter food inspection has significantly reduced the rate of illnesses due to poor hygiene and sanitation.  

In these ways, science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US.

Some people must avoid foods high in msg, as oversupply of the neurotransmitter _____ can over stimulate the brain, inducing sei
choli [55]

The right answer is glutamate

Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter associated with learning and memory.

It is also associated with Alzheimer's disease whose first symptoms are felt in memory.

Most people unknowingly consume monosodium glutamate (MSG), a commonly used food additive.

An experiment was done on healthy patients, giving them 12 grams of glutamate. It was found that the experience led to headaches, nausea or jaw pain in 50-60% of cases.

It was also measured the level of glutamate contained in the muscles of patients with jaw problems. The tests concluded that the most painful muscles were those containing the highest levels of glutamate.

According to him, one of the keys to chronic pain could lie in the development of drugs that reduce the rate of glutamate.

A newly discovered animal reproduces slowly. It has only one offspring each time it reproduces. Which reproductive strategy does
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

C: K Strategy

Explanation:

The best choice will be C- K strategy because this type of strategy involves greater investment from parents into their offspring. These organisms are mostly higher organisms which reproduce slowly and ensure the maximum survival of their offspring. They compete strongly with other organisms and invest more in their survival by producing fewer quality offspring that have more survival opportunities.

Example of K-selected species include  larger mammals (such as primates and horses), birds and larger plants. Unlike their opposite R-selected specie which produce large number of offspring, K selected specie are called in Equilibrium wile R-selected species are called as opportunistic.

Thank you!
