Considering the child's age and symptoms, it appears that this is an allergic reaction. It can be inferred that among the options, the food most likely to trigger these symptoms is peanut butter.

Peanut butter, in addition to having added sugar, hydrogenated or semi-hydrogenated fats, sodium and other additives, has proteins that our bodies recognize as "foreign" causing our immune system to react.

Peanut allergy is usually discovered in the early years of life, due to its high consumption in childhood, and especially affects babies and children who have asthma, rhinitis and sinus problems.

Receipt of extracellular signals can change cell behavior quickly (e.g., in seconds or less) or much more slowly (e.g., in hours
balandron [24]

Answer:

A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.

B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.

C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.
