True

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of the body. They are also sources of energy, like fats and carbohydrates. However, amino acids<span> are structurally characterised by the fact that they contain nitrogen (N), whereas fats and carbohydrates do not.

The importance of amino acids as the precursors of enzymes and neurotransmitters<span> is often underestimated. As such, amino acids regulate almost all of the metabolic processes in the human body, and they are essential for a healthy body.</span>

Answer:

4. Variations that help with survival will be passed on to future generations and will rapidly change the whole population.

Explanation:

Variations that help with survival MAY be passed on to future generations, depending on how much pressure that variation relieves. Change may not be rapid, depending on how fecund the species is. Also, it will not change the whole population, only future offspring. The current offspring won't all have the new variation.

One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased production

Marizza181 [45]

The two major systems involved in the stress response are the Nervous System [the Sympathetic subdivision of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)] and the Endocrine System (glands which secrete hormones intonthe bloodstream).
The Endocrine System's response during acute and/or chronic stress (adaptation) involves first the Hypothalamic release of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH), which stimulates the Anterior Pituitary (via the blood) to release AdrenoCorticoTropic Hormone (ACTH), which then activates the Adrenal Cortex to release glucocorticoid hormones (i.e. Cortisol), amongst others into the bloodstream. Cortisol then has many effects on tissues and organs throughout the body to allow better generalized coping with the initial stress stimulus.
