Marie is experiencing the: Sympathomimetic effects (fight-or-flight state).

The sympathetic nervous system is a component of the autonomic nervous system, managing the activity of visceral organs and the automatic functions of the body, such as breathing or beating of the heart. The sympathetic nervous system is involved in many unconscious physiological activities through two neuromodulators of the catecholamine family: adrenaline, but especially norepinephrine (fight-or-flight hormones).
* It accelerates the metabolism and is activated for example in case of danger or fear, to prepare the individual to escape.
* It affects the cardiovascular system: it increases the heart rate and induces peripheral vasoconstriction, causing an increase in blood pressure.
* At the digestive level, it slows the muscular contractions of the intestines but promotes the release of glucose by the liver.
* It also has a bronchodilator effect, that is to say, it causes the increase of the diameter of the bronchi.

Answer:

b. heat energy

Explanation:

Water, which is able to exist in three different states moves from one form to another. Water can move from the ocean to the atmosphere via a process called EVAPORATION. During the process of evaporation, the sun plays a major role by supplying the HEAT ENERGY required to change water from its liquid form in the ocean to its gaseous form in the atmosphere.

Water cycle of the earth helps ensure that water is not lost in any of its forms. Liquid water stored in the ocean gets evaporated as a result of heat energy into the atmosphere as water vapour.

Stratified squamous epithelium  is generally present in area where there is frequent physical or chemical abrasion. It protects the underlying structures from the stress. Hence, it is found wherever the body comes in contact with the outer environment like skin, digestive system and respiratory system. It also prevents water loss and desiccation.
