Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator togenerate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do notproduce greenhouse gas emissions.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

B. decreases salivation and increases blood pressure

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomous nervous system which controls involuntary responses of the body such as salivation and blood pressure.

The sympathetic nervous system  is majorly responsible for body actions that are produced when threat is perceived. It generates responses referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Examples of such responses include, increased breathing, increased high blood pressure, dilation, decreased salivation, etc.

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system would result in rise in the blood pressure as can be witnessed by someone whose body has perceived a threat or reacting to a stressful situation.

The control of salivary production by the sympathetic nervous system  leads to the release of noradrenaline which acts on certain receptors that results in decrease in the production of saliva. This is evident in a person that is facing a threat also.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: Option C) blocks oxygen transport in human blood

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the oxides of carbon formed when fuel is incompletely burned. It can be generated from exhaust pipe of vehicles, electric generators.

When inhaled CO attaches to the hemoglobin portion of the red blood cells, forming a bound complex called CARBOXY-HEMOGLOBIN, that is unable to transport oxygen to the body tissues.

Thus, by this mechanism Carbon monoxide blocks oxygen transport in human blood
