Reflex Action is the term that describes the way an organism responds to stimuli. During reflex actions receptors are stimulated, they send signals to the central nervous system, where the brain co-ordinates the response. But sometimes a very quick response is needed, one that does not need the involvement of the brain. Reflex actions are rapid and happen without us thinking. For example, you would pull your hand away from a hot flame without thinking about it.

The term that describes the way an organism responds to stimuli is called behaviour.

Behaviour patterns may be simple or complex. Behaviour is explained through proximate causation and ultimate causation. In proximate causation, it is how behaviour works or ensues, internal state delivers physiologic basis, it is a study that determines physiologic changes like hormone levels. One example is a male songbird singing during mating season, this is because of the level of sex hormone-testosterone which binds to certain receptors in the brain which activates production of song. Ultimate causation on the other hand, explains why behaviour evolved through the years, it studies the behaviour in which it influences survival or reproduction. One example is a female bird during mating season who are mostly attracted by singing male birds and male songbirds have more offspring compared to those who don't influenced that shape behaviour.

The correct answer is "increased activity of the right hippocampal formation".
Hippocampus is a brain area which is part of the limbic system and is located below the cerebral cortex. Humans have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. Hippocampus is responsible for the formation of long-term memories, by participating in the consolidation of short-term to long-term memory. It also plays a very important role in spatial memory and orientation.
The task that this experienced cab-driver is asked to perform is related to spatial navigation and orientation abilities. The right hippocampus has been shown to participate in the formation of memory for locations in specific environments, while the left hippocampus has been shown to be involved in autobiographical and episodic memory. As a result, the PET scan will show an increased activity of the right hippocampus.

In the citric acid cycle, the acetyl group of each molecule of acetyl-coa is converted into two molecules of ________.

Tatiana [17]

In the citric acid cycle, the acetyl group of each molecule of acetyl-CoA is converted into two molecule of carbon dioxide and water. It is the pathway that connects carbohydrates ,fat and protein metabolism.

The cycle which carried out by eight enzymes that completely oxidase acetate by which two carbon molecules in the form of acetyl -CoA into two carbon dioxide and water molecules.6- carbon glucose molecule is split into two 3- carbon molecules called pyruvate , which needs in order to create acetyl CoA.

Citric acid cycle is also known as krebs cycle or TCA cycle it is the series of chemical reactions to release to releases stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA from carbohydrate, fats and protein.
