I believe the answer is C.Family. Even though his family avoids it, if there is a past of addiction, it can easily occur again. Not 100% sure though.

Which organs of the male and female reproductive systems secrete fluids that act on the vagina?
DochEvi [55]
  • In the male reproductive system, bulbourethral glands secrete an alkaline fluid which neutralizes acidic condition of urine in the urethra and also neutralizes acidic condition in the vagina.
  • In the female reproductive system, bartholin gland, a small fluid filled sac that present inside opening of vagina. It secretes mucus which lubricates vagina.

All cells share the following common components except
Monica [59]

Answer:

All cells share four common components: (1) a plasma membrane, an outer covering that separates the cell’s interior from its surrounding environment; (2) cytoplasm, consisting of a jelly-like region within the cell in which other cellular components are found; (3) DNA, the genetic material of the cell; and (4) ribosomes, particles that synthesize proteins. However, prokaryotes differ from eukaryotic cells in several ways.



Figure 1. This figure shows the generalized structure of a prokaryotic cell.

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. We will shortly come to see that this is significantly different in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid (Figure 1).

Unlike Archaea and eukaryotes, bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, comprised of sugars and amino acids, and many have a polysaccharide capsule (Figure 1). The cell wall acts as an extra layer of protection, helps the cell maintain its shape, and prevents dehydration. The capsule enables the cell to attach to surfaces in its environment. Some prokaryotes have flagella, pili, or fimbriae. Flagella are used for locomotion, while most pili are used to exchange genetic material during a type of reproduction called conjugation.

Eukaryotic Cells

In nature, the relationship between form and function is apparent at all levels, including the level of the cell, and this will become clear as we explore eukaryotic cells. The principle “form follows function” is found in many contexts. It means that, in general, one can deduce the function of a structure by looking at its form, because the two are matched. For example, birds and fish have streamlined bodies that allow them to move quickly through the medium in which they live, be it air or water.

A eukaryotic cell is a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound compartments or sacs, called organelles, which have specialized functions. The word eukaryotic means “true kernel” or “true nucleus,” alluding to the presence of the membrane-bound nucleus in these cells. The word “organelle” means “little organ,” and, as we learned earlier, organelles have specialized cellular functions, just as the organs of your body have specialized functions.

Cell Size

At 0.1–5.0 µm in diameter, prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells, which have diameters ranging from 10–100 µm (Figure 2). The small size of prokaryotes allows ions and organic molecules that enter them to quickly spread to other parts of the cell. Similarly, any wastes produced within a prokaryotic cell can quickly move out. However, larger eukaryotic cells have evolved different structural adaptations to enhance cellular transport. Indeed, the large size of these cells would not be possible without these adaptations. In general, cell size is limited because volume increases much more quickly than does cell surface area. As a cell becomes larger, it becomes more and more difficult for the cell to acquire sufficient materials to support the processes inside the cell, because the relative size of the surface area across which materials must be transported declines.



Figure 2. This figure shows the relative sizes of different kinds of cells and cellular components. An adult human is shown for comparison.

IN SUMMARY: COMPARING PROKARYOTIC AND EUKARYOTIC CELLS

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea. All prokaryotes have plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lack membrane-bound organelles. Many also have polysaccharide capsules. Prokaryotic cells range in diameter from 0.1–5.0 µm.

Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but a eukaryotic cell is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell, has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane), and has other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions. Eukaryotic cells tend to be 10 to 100 times the size of prokaryotic cells.

Dr. Ramirez studies the effects of stress on pregnant mothers and how this stress may influence gender expression in their child
slavikrds [6]

Answer: Biological factors or influences such as genetic, biochemical factors on the gender.

Explanation: By way of definition,

the biopsychosocial model is a combined scientific model that looks at the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. The model specifically monitors how these aspects play a role in topics ranging from health and disease models to human development. This model was developed by George L. Engel in 1977. Though the biopsychosocial Model has received criticism about its limitations, but it continues to carry waves in the fields of psychology, health, medicine, and human development.

The biopsychosocial model explains the development of illness through the complex interaction of biological factors (genetic, biochemical, etc.), psychological factors (mood, personality, behavior, etc.) and social factors (cultural, familial, socioeconomic, medical etc.)

Engel clearly explained that the biomedical approach is flawed because the body alone does not contribute to illness. Instead, the individual mind (psychosocial model) plays a significant role in how an illness is caused and how it is treated. Engel suggested, a dialogue between the patient and the doctor in order to find the most effective treatment solution.

Engel felt the biopsychosocial model also allows physicians to better understand their patients' subjective view of their illness and suffering.

So from the question asked, Dr Ramirez idea of following the Psychosocial approach, will help him to understand his studies on the effects of stress on pregnant mothers and how this stress may influence gender expression in their children.
