Answer: d) lightheadedness or unconscious episodes.
Explanation:
There are several ways the body responds to stress but one method used by psychologists to measure this response is Hans Selye's general adaptation syndrome. This occurs in 3 stages:
1. The alarm reaction. This occurs when the stressor is first presented resulting in the RELEASE OF HORMONES from the adrenal gland into the blood stream. The hormone in turn cause sympathetic nervous system activation and increase energy levels, INCREASE RESPIRATION, increase muscle tension, reduce sensitivity to pain, slow down the digestive system, and cause a RISE IN BLOOD PRESSURE.
2. The stage of resistance- this occurs till the stress is removed.
3. The stage of exhaustion
It has the ability to bind itself to small amounts of acid in the blood, which helps with removing that acid before the blood’s pH changes
The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".
Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.
