Answer:

Ghrelin

Explanation:

Ghrelin is a hormone that plays a major role in stimulating/increasing appetite and further increasing the intake of food and storage of fat, and that is why it is referred to as the "hunger hormone". Ghrelin is produced in the stomach, it performs its function by signaling to the brain to be hunger and hence result to increase in appetite; some amounts of ghrelin is also released by the pancreas and small intestine. Ghrelin is primarily regulated by the autonomic nervous system.

Therefore, since the surgeons removed a part of Tomae's stomach which eventually led to reduced appetite for food, then ghrelin secretion has been reduced.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

B. The focus is on ideas instead of physical products

Explanation:

When did (spoken) language develop?
alexgriva [62]

D. None of the above

Spoken language was created <em>even before time</em>.

Remember, technically GOD exists outside the time realm, and before time was even there, GOD was. In a sense, we can see inside the book of Genesis, that GOD essentially spoke, and it was there.

For example, "God said, Let there be light; and there was light"

Inside this semi-quote, we see that God "said". This implies that there was language even before the creation of the world.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, if we put it into human context, language started on the creation of man, the first one being Adam. Note that he was given the right to "name all the creatures.." This means that language was already existent by then for him to "name" the other living things.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, it brings us to the point where multiple languages were created.

During the "Building of the tower of Babel", GOD saw that the people were becoming more prideful. This led to the event of the building of the tower of Babel, which was a tower that essentially would rise to the heavens. However, GOD caused many languages to develop, so that people could not communicate properly. Those who spake the same language gathered together, and each group went their separate ways.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on these events, we can say that D. None of the above is your best answer

A persuasive speech on a question of fact is essentially the same as an informative speech.
sergij07 [2.7K]
A persuasive speech on a question of fact is essentially the same as an informative speech. False. A persuasive speech and an informative speech are still two completely different types of speeches. A persuasive speech is when you are trying to change the viewpoint of someone else to reflect one similar to yours or facts. An informative speech is solely presenting the information to someone else.
