Answer:

Her excitement is a function of her autonomic nervous system, and her movements are a function of her somatic nervous system

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system control the involuntary and reflexive functions of the body such as pumping blood, the beating of the heart, expansion or contraction of blood vessels or pupils — which is why we are seldom conscious of it.The autonomic nervous system is composed of parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).

The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) controls homeostasis and the body at rest and is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" function. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body's responses to a perceived threat and is responsible for the "fight or flight" response.

The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that involves parts of the body a person can command at his will. It is responsible for carrying motor and sensory information both to and from the central nervous system (CNS). This system is made up of nerves that connect to the skin, sensory organs, and all skeletal muscles. The system is responsible for nearly all voluntary muscle movements as well as for processing sensory information that arrives via external stimuli including hearing, touch, and sight.

The excitement is involuntary which is a result of the increase in the players heart rate. This is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

When the player saw the time element, she decided at his will to make a jump shot as a response to that stimuli. That is the function of the somatic nervous system.

Answer by Mimiwhatsup: A one step process where one atom of helium is generated from four atoms of hydrogen.

Why: "Hydrogen fusion (nuclear fusion of four protons to form a helium-4 nucleus) is the dominant process that generates energy in the cores of main-sequence stars. It is also called "hydrogen burning", which should not be confused with the chemical combustion of hydrogen in an oxidizing atmosphere." (Wikipedia)

Using the DNA sequence below, what would the resulting amino acid sequence be? Be sure to show any necessary steps that lead you
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Notice that many amino acids are represented in the table by more than one codon. For instance, there are six different ways to "write" leucine in the language of mRNA (see if you can find all six).An important point about the genetic code is that it's universal. That is, with minor exceptions, virtually all species (from bacteria to you!) use the genetic code shown above for protein synthesis.
