eimsori [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis)

Explanation:

  • The three-stage process describing the physiological changes that take place in the body when it is under stress is known as general adaptation syndrome (GAS).
  • The model describing the three-stage process was given by the scientist Hans Selye.
  • According to this model, the responses in the body that occur during stress is regulated by the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) where the brain senses the stress and then the signals travel from the hypothalamus to the pituitary and finally the body releases cortisol from adrenal glands that contributes to the various changes.

How many items is the brain capable of recording each day?
choli [55]
There is no defined limit on the capacity of the brain. The brain's capacity cannot be measured as it is not subject to a defined "space" where the memory is kept, and it is not such that each neuron is responsible for a single memory. The brain has complex mechanisms of memory storage, that even improve if trained.

A plastic bottle contains 32.5 L of gas at a pressure of 45.7 kPa and
Monica [59]

Answer:

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 32.5 Liters

Initial pressure = 45.7 kPa

Final volume = 4.1 Liters

To find the final pressure, we would use Boyle's law;

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

45.7 * 32.5 = P_{2} * 4.1

1485.25 = 4.1P_{2}

P_{2} = \frac {1485.25}{4.1}

P_{2} = 362.26

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

How can gene flow increase genetic variation within two neighboring populations
natali 33 [55]
A population that has been isolated, especially a smaller one, could have a high level of homozygosity and therefore not a lot of genetic variation. Gene flow between such populations can increase the level of heterozygosity, and therefore up genetic variation.

2. If i were a forensic scientistand was called to a crime scene to see if drugs were present in the crime scene iwould use different kind of test to help me determine this, like for examplespectrophotometry tests, Microcrystalline test, and Color test. Because all of these<span>tests would help me to determine if drugs were to be present in the crime scene</span>3.It's important forscientist to have as much information as possible about the place that the drugsubstance is found because many factors can contribute when identifying a type ofdrug and because there might of have been some other substances with the drugand this could affect identifying the drug substance
