Stimulants are substances that all result in the increase of levels of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that affects attention and pleasure. What this means is that stimulants affect our brain and the way it works by changing the ways that nerve cells communicate.
Neurons (nerve cells) are the cells that have a role in transmitting messages from the brain to other parts of our body, and vice-versa, which is important for pain response, alertness, energy etc.
With long-term use, the use of stimulants would affect the central nervous system (speeding it up), the brain, and the functions necessary to live, like respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature. Levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, which are responsible for the regulation of different processes, are also impacted, which creates a chemical disbalance ultimately resulting in behavioral changes, mood swings, altered attention, movement and energy, stress etc.
So the part of the body that is affected the most with the long-term use of stimulants like cocaine, nicotine, methamphetamine is the brain of course, which is where these substances have the most impact, but the impact on the central nervous system, autonomous nervous system, and neurotransmitter levels is significant.

Your answer is A. gene flow
Answer:
An Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation:
A living organism can either have prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and other membrane bound organelles whereas prokaryotic cells lack membrane bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.
Endoplasmic reticulum are membranous system that forms a system of flattened sacs in the cytoplasm.
These organelles can only be found in eukaryotic cells and not prokaryotic cell.
Answer:
Type of liquid
Explanation:
Daniela wanted to figure out what type of liquid worked best for growing beans. She watered one with coca-cola, one with lemonade, and one with just water. After one week, she measured how high they had grown. What is the independent variable?
Answer: An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variable (it is the input variable) while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable (it is the output variable).
In this question the two variables are the height of the plant after a week and the type of liquid used. Since the height of the beans depend on the type of liquid, therefore the height of the beans is the dependent variable while the type of liquid is the independent variable.
