Answer:

1. Sympathetic; parasympathetic

Explanation:

When the person is under stress and scared, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is activated. This activated nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal gland and generates flight or fight response. During this response, the heartbeat and breathing rate of the person is increased, pupils become dilated and the blood supply to skeletal muscles is increased.  

Once the person is out of danger and reached home, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. It inhibits the physiological responses generated by the sympathetic division and slows down the breathing and heart rate. The activated parasympathetic division triggers digestion and absorption of nutrients to restore the energy levels of the cells.

Annette [7]

Answer:

Carbohydrate = 57.023g

Fats = 20.736g

Proteins = 25.919g

Explanation:

According to this question, Valerie is planning to eat at dinner meal that has a total of 800 Calories.

- 55% calories come from carbohydrate i.e. 55/100 × 800 = 440 calories

- 20% calories come from fat i.e. 20/100 × 800 = 160 calories

- 25% calories come from proteins i.e. 25/100 × 800 = 200 calories

Since 7.716 calories = 1g

1. Amount of carbohydrates in gram = 440/7.716 = 57.023g

2. Amount of fats in gram = 160/7.716 = 20.736g

3. Amount of proteins in gram = 200/7.716 = 25.919g
