Answer:

Daisy's episodic memory is impaired, but her semantic memory is intact.

Explanation:

Episodic memory is the type of memory that holds events experienced by the person. That is, it is the memory that holds the places the person went, important dates, events that occurred and other things that the patient was present at the moment. If Daisy can't remember what she did last week, how the accident happened, or any of her childhood experiences, then her episodic memory is compromised.

Semantic memory allows humans to communicate with language. In semantic memory, the brain stores information about words, what they look and represent, and how they are used in an organized manner. Daisy is able to read, write and speak accurately and remember the names of countries, things, places and famous people, that means her semantic memory is intact.

The trp and lac operons are regulated in various ways. how do bacteria regulate transcription of these operons? sort the stateme
Elza [17]
I found the exercise on the internet. Attached is a picture of the <span>statements and the bins.

Operon is not transcribed:
-trp operon: tryptophan present (tryptophan works as an inhibitor of the operon)
-lac operon: lactose absent (lactose works as the trigger for the operon)

Operon is transcribed but not sped up by positive control:
-trp operon: tryptophan absent </span>(tryptophan works as an inhibitor of the operon, when absent the operon is active)
-lac operon: lactose present, glucose present (lactose works as the trigger for the operon, but when glucose is present, the operon activity remains only at basal level)<span>

Operon is transcribed quickly by positive control:
-lac operon: lactose present, glucose absent </span>(lactose works as the trigger for the operon, but when glucose is absent, the operon activity is at its maximum activity)

The most important mineralocorticoid regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is ________.the most import
Genrish500 [490]
The most important mineralocorticoid regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is Aldosterone.
Aldosterone hormone is produced by the adrenal gland, it acts in the functional unit of the kidneys to aid in the conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, water retention and to stabilize blood pressure. The hormone causes water to be absorbed along with sodium ions which increases the blood volume and therefore blood pressure. It indirectly regulates blood levels of electrolytes and helps to maintain the blood pH.
