The synaptic pruning during childhood results in a reduction in density of nerve cells, thus increasing the brain's efficiency.
<span>Synaptic pruning, which can include both axon and dendrite pruning, is the process of synapse elimination that occurs usually in early childhood. It is thought that this is the brain’s way of removing connections in the brain that are no longer needed and a way of maintaining more efficient brain function.</span>
Answer:
D. Type in human immune system + HIV effects.
Explanation:
Since Angela is focusing more on the human immune system and the effects of HIV could have on it, the keywords combination that would produce the most relevant search result has to contain human, immune system and HIV effects.
Option A has human, body systems and HIV, immune is absent.
Option B contains immune system and human, no HIV effects.
Option C contains HIV and immune system, no human.
All the options are lacking in some ways and will not produce the most relevant search results.
The correct option is D. It has all the necessary keywords.
Answer:
B. Proteins
Explanation:
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).
Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.
