Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Learned helplessness is defined as the psychological condition in which the person starts believing that the person is incapable of doing and accomplishing small tasks and has no control or lost control over the surrounding environment.

This condition happens when the person fails to escape the shocks caused by the aversive events and starts believing that the outcomes are independent of their response.

This condition is biological and is caused by the inhibition of the ventromedial prefrontal complex pathway associated with the learning ability. The ventromedial and also dorsal raphe nucleus is involved in the learned helplessness.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

<u><em>Oxygen</em></u>

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be described as a process by which cells produce carbon dioxide and water from oxygen and glucose. Huge amounts of ATP is generated by this process. This ATP is used to carry out the normal functions of a cell.

If the oxygen supply to the frog species becomes low, then the process of cellular respiration will also slow down. Hence, by altering the amount of oxygen, the amount of ATP can be altered.
