6 0

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

Which comparisons of Trial A (no immunity) and
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

1.

3.

4.

Explanation:

In trial A, people have no immunity so there are more chances of infection and in trial C, only 50% of people have immunity so chances of infection are less, so infection will spread faster in trial A than trial C.

If compared, trial C will have less infected people than trial A because people in trial A has no immunity and people in trial C have 50% of immunity, so only fewer people will get infected even after six point of contact.

As percentage of immune people (trial C) is 50, so there are equal chances of immunity and non-immunity. there are three reasons of infection that include source, susceptible person and transmission. source and susceptible person can be the reason of infection in some non-immune people but the transmission reason can vary. s<em>o, there is probability that three nonimmune people lie under transmission reason and are not coming in contact with infected  people, medical equipment or environment, that causes infection and those three people are not getting infected.</em>

<em>Hence, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.</em>

Why is a turtle slow?
Basile [38]

The main reason is because they are heavy, and because they don't have to chase their food. They're not predators and their shells give them protection like running away gives protection to other herbivores.

Your answer is most probably A). B) implies that nuts are the only thing for birds to eat in a rainforest, which doesn't make sense, C) implies that the insects would need a widely-varied diet to survive, but again there's an abundance of things that a hungry bug can eat, so they don't need a wide dietary coverage, D) suggests that there may be droughts in the area for which the plant may need to be prepared, but in the RAINforest droughts are uncommon.
