Answer:

pineal

Explanation:

The pineal gland is a small structure located at the posterior end of the third ventricle, above the diencephalon roof, connected to it by small branches, right in the center of the human brain.

There is controversy about the functions attributed to the pineal gland. However, it is known to be fundamental in contributing to various cycles considered vital in the body, such as the sleep cycle and the regulation of sexual and reproductive efforts and circadian cycles in general.

Therefore, if exposure to blue light can affect human circadian rhythms. This suggests that blue light disturbs the function of the pineal gland.

A teacher has two cubes of sugar that are both the same size and shape. He adds cube A to a beaker filled with 100 mL of water,
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Burning sugar results in a chemical reaction

Explanation:

Flammability, odor, and density are just a few examples of characteristic properties of a substance. A chemical reaction occurs when molecules interact with one another and the molecules change. For example burning sugar results in a chemical reaction because the properties of cube B changed when it was burned. This change in solubility shows that cube B must be a different substance than cube A because of the chemical reaction that occurred when cube B was burned.
