The correct answer is: decrease motility in the intestine, dilate bronchioles in lungs, dilate pupils, secrete epinephrine, and speed up heartbeat.

Being chased by a coyote constitutes a highly stressful and threatening situation for the rabbit. This means that the rabbit's physiology will adapt and the body will get prepared for action, that is to run and avoid the coyote.
This response is called an acute stress response (also called fight or flight response) and includes a hormonal cascade. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the regulation of this response.

All of the changes in the sympathetic nervous system are an effort to boost the body with the necessary energy to run as fast as possible. Some of these adaptations include the dilation the lungs' bronchioles and the speeding up of the heartbeat, in order to accelerate the lung and heart action. Also, the motility of the intestine is decreased to a point where digestion nearly stops, in order for the blood flow to support the muscular action. Finally, one part of the adrenal glands triggers the secretion catecholamines, meaning the norepinephrine and epinephrine hormones.

Which of these is happening when translation takes place?
beks73 [17]


The answer is B

Before the process of translation occurs, mRNA which bears the blue print or coded information for the synthesis of a specific protein arrives from the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where there are ribosomes

mRNA then attaches itself to a ribosome. The ribosome is the site where the protein is formed. It is sometimes referred to as the "work bench" of the cell. Once mRNA is attached, tRNA comes and begins to read and translate the coded information on the mRNA. This is the translation stage of  protein synthesis.

Based on the translated information, tRNA then fetches amino acids  from the pool of free amino acids found in the cytoplasm and brings them to the ribosome where they are joined to form a chain thus creating a protein.
