Answer:

Social influence.

Explanation:

Social influence is a type of influence where one or more than one persons change someone else's behavior and attitude. It's both unconscious and conscious.

Sam has shown the change in his behavior since he has been surrounded by new people at his new school.

In this type of conformity, Sam is changing himself in ways that he can be more similar to the others, because he wants to feel like he belongs there and that he will be accepted, so his self-esteem will rise once they acknowledge that he is one of them now.

If a person has not eaten for several hours and is experiencing hypoglycemia, which hormones are released to counteract the hypo
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

  • glucagon
  • epinephrine
  • cortisol
  • growth hormone

Explanation:

Hypoglycemia is a dizzying drop in blood sugar levels. When this occurs, symptoms such as dizziness, pallor and mental confusion arise. This problem is more common in patients with diabetes due to blood glucose fluctuation, but can also occur in completely healthy individuals who have spent several hours without eating.

During a hypoglycemic crisis, the patient should have a glass of orange juice, or non-diet soda, or half a glass of water sweetened with a sugar spoon, or suck on candy to replenish glucose levels. In addition, the body itself attempts to combat hypoglycemia by releasing the hormones glucagon, epinephrine, cortisol and growth hormone.
