Answer:

Drug abuse affect the way brain receives and process information

Explanation:

Drug abuse can be defined as the use of drug in amounts or by methods which are harmful to the individual or others.

Drugs affects the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain's own chemicals, they don't activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Drugs such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This disrupts the normal communication between neurons.

How do atoms become the complex structures and substances around us
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Atoms are the smallest building blocks of elements having the same chemical and physical properties of that specific element. Atoms combine together with the help of electrons, to form a little more complex entity like the molecules, crystals, liquids etc. Some molecules combine together to form a more complex entity like the DNA which is the most complex molecule. The whole universe is made out of these simple building blocks, including the human body.

Rank these reactions from least to most energetically favorable.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

From least to most energetically favorable, the reactions are:

Glucose to Glucose-6-P (least) ; Glucose-6-P to Fructose-6-P; ATP to ADP and Pi; PEP to pyruvate (most favorable)

Explanation:

ΔG represents the free energy change that occurs during a chemical reaction. A reaction with negative free energy change is exergonic and spontaneous. Negative free energy change represents the fact that reactants have more free energy than products. The excess of the energy is released during the reaction and makes it a spontaneous process.

q`On the other hand, a reaction with positive free energy change is endothermic and non-spontaneous. These thermodynamically unfavorable reactions are coupled with other exergonic reactions to make them occur.

Among the given example, PEP to pyruvate has the highest negative free energy change (−14.8 kcal/mol) and therefore, is energetically most favorable. On the other hand, "Glucose to Glucose-6-P" has the highest positive free energy charge (+3.3 kcal/mol) making it energetically the most unfavorable reaction.
