Answer:

The correct option is a. "increased cortical mass, increased numbers of neurons, increased synaptic connections, increased neurotransmitter amounts, and increased myelination. "

Explanation:

Rodents that have been raised in enriched environments were found to have thicker cerebral cortex containing approximately 25% more synapses in a study conducted by Mark Richard Rosenzweig. This increase in <em>synapses</em> implies in an increase in <em>neurons</em> and <em>neurotransmitters</em>, which also indicates an increase in <em>myelination</em>.

What 2 properties of water make capillary action possible?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Cohesion; the water molecules attract each other and are responsible for the surface tension of water.

Adhesion; the water molecule is also able to attract other non-water molecules. This allows water to be able to ‘cling’ to the sides of a capillary tube.

The complementary action of these two forces allows water to rise in a narrow capillary tube such as the xylem tissues of plants.

If a haploid cell has 16 chromosomes in its nucleus, how many would be present in the diploid state?
TEA [102]

Since chromosomes in the nucleus exist in pairs, human body cell contains 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs.
Gametes are haploid, so their nucleus only contains a single set of 23 unpaired chromosomes.

In fermentation the molecules of NADH are________while the organic molecules are _________.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C- "oxidize, reduce".

Explanation:

Fermentation is a process analogous to cellular respiration and, just like the latter, it involves oxidization and reduction of molecules with the final purpose of producing energy. During the process of fermentation nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen (NADH) is oxidized to its original form of NAD with a plus charge; while other organic molecules such as piruvate are reduced.
