Answer:

D

Explanation:

Obese humans already have high levels of circulating leptin

Leptin is a hormone secreted from fat cells that helps to regulate body weight. But in obese people they have unusually high levels of leptin. This is because in some obese people, the brain does not respond to leptin, so they keep eating despite adequate (or excessive) fat stores, a concept known as ‘leptin resistance’. This causes the fat cells to produce even more leptin.

vodomira [7]
C) growing crops to send to England.

This would be the best choice as the question itself refers to Georgia's climate. The kind of good climate for crops to grow. You can still see the affect of this agricultural is some parts of Georgia.

You can also work this out through process of elimination. A makes no sense as the King never did come to America. B is wrong as Jamestown was the first colony. And D wouldn't be right as one of the reasons to move to America was job opportunities.

Hope this helps!

What happened in Georgia as a result of the Supreme Court ruling in Brown V. Board of Education?
mylen [45]

Oliver Brown V. Board of Education of Topeka was an important Supreme Court case in which the court stated that state laws that established that racial segregation of children in public schools were unconstitutional.

The verdict of this case in 1954 was that the “separate but equal doctrine” for public education violated the U.SA constitution.

As a result of the verdict, and knowing that the Supreme Court’s decision in the case didn’t end the segregation issue, black people (mostly) still had in mind that they had to continue fighting for equal rights. And that is how one year later, in 1955, Rosa Parks (A black seamstress person) denied to give up her set o a white man on a bus. After the Rosa Parks’ event, lots of boycotts were organized to fight for equal civil rights. This act helped initiate the civil rights movement in the U.S.A.
