Answer:

Option A, Glucose metabolism in the fetal brain increased

Explanation:

Usage of cocaine during pregnancy is prohibited. However, in case if cocaine is taken it disrupts the metabolism as it increases brain glucose metabolism to the level of an adult human being. Since glucose metabolism in brain is a sensitive process, any disruption in it can lead to unaccounted effects such as dysfunctional circulation, and pharmacological effect. Cocaine increases the dopamine by blocking the dopamine transporters thereby increasing the Vmax. Since the brain of a child has all kind of neurochemical components, cocaine intakes by a pregnant woman produces reinforcing effects in brain of fetus and also make it pharmacologically active

Hence, option A  is correct

Explain the universal significance of producers (autotrophs) in ecosystems?
hodyreva [135]
Producers are called producers because when they take in carbon dioxide and water, and they produce glucose and oxygen. Animals need oxygen to survive and producers are the reason that all of the animals on earth haven't used up all the oxygen in the atmosphere. We need producers to survive, otherwise the Earth would be carbon dioxide rich and we humans couldn't breath it.
