In terms of energy resources, how do wealthier, developed nations compare
Luden [163]

Answer:

D. People who live in wealthier countries tend to consume more energy per person.

Explanation:

People in wealthy countries have access to many technologies such as phones, televisions, and house appliances like coffee makers. All of these use energy. Wealthy people also tend to have larger houses that require more electricity to light and heat/cool. People in developing countries do not have access to these technologies or large houses that consume large amounts of energy. Additionally, people in poverty are unable to afford the levels of energy that wealthy citizens can. For these reasons, wealthier countries consume more energy per person.

Aneli [31]
A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose[1]) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose,[2] and maltose.         


Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules.

What are some good and bad results on irradiation being used on seeds
malfutka [58]

Explanation:

The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed

According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreaming, the source of a dream is neuronal firing in
Hatshy [7]
According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreaming, the source of a dream is neuronal firing in the lower brain stem. It is also known as the medulla oblongata or just medulla. It is essential in processes like blood pressure and heart rate. Also, it is responsible in a number of reflexes in the body or the involuntary actions like coughing, sneezing and vomiting. It is said to contain cells that would turn REM on and off. From recent research, it is the part of the brain that is the origin of the electrical impulses where dreams are results. It is connected to other parts of the brain which controls memory, movement, hearing and vision.
