Answer: Discriminative stimulus

Explanation:

A discriminative stimulus is associated with reinforcement or punishment, that exerts control over a particular form of behavior. The subject discriminates between closely related stimuli and elicits a specific behavior only in the presence of that stimulus. T<u>his stimulus increases the probability of a given response</u> because of their historical correlation with the availability of reinforcement for the response.

In this example, the hungry rat gets food if it presses a bar only when the light is on. The rat learns that is most likely to request this food in the future in the presence of this light, because historically, the request has been reinforced in the presence of this light. <u>The light in the example became a discriminative stimulus and it evokes the response.</u>

An alpha helix or a beta-pleated sheet are examples of what level of protein structure?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Secondary level of protein structure

Explanation:

The proteins are formed of the monomer units called amino acids which bond with each other via peptide bond and form a linear peptide structure called the primary level structure of the protein.

The proteins to perform several functions in a cell undergoes structural conformation and attain the helical form called alpha helix due to the involvement of alpha carbon in bond formation and a pleated sheet called beta-pleated sheet due to the involvement of beta carbon. These structures are known as a secondary level of protein structure.

Thus, a Secondary level of protein structure is the correct answer.
