Answer:

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.

Explanation:

When a stimulus or a change in some condition triggers a response that intensifies the changing condition, the mechanism is called a positive feedback mechanism.

Any damage to tissues makes the platelets to contact and stick to parts such as collagen fibers of the connective tissue present under the damaged endothelial cells. This process of platelet adhesion activates the platelets and brings about changes in them. The activated platelets grow many projections to contact and interact with one another. They also release ADP and thromboxane A2 which in turn activates the nearby platelets. The ADP makes other platelets in the area sticky. The stickiness of the newly recruited and activated platelets causes them to join the originally activated platelets. Eventually, the accumulation and attachment of large numbers of platelets form a platelet plug.

Here, release of chemicals from the activated platlets to activate more platlets represents the positive feedback mechanism.

According to Max Weber, all governments get their powers from:
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer is: letter B, the people.

Explanation:

Max Weber is a German sociologist and political economist.  He proposed a theory on "bureaucracy." This is an organizational structure that focuses on rules, procedures, processes, hierarchies, etc. among the employees. He introduced the three types of power:<em> legal power, traditional power and charismatic power. </em>

According to him "power is the ability to exercise one's will over others." This definition has been adopted by many scholars over time. And for him, all governments get their power from the people. The word "power" here is different from the word "authority." Power affects social relationships and "it is NOT coercion." It provides a strategic way to rule the people so they will obey.

The water level at the beach changes during the day. What causes the different water levels?
dexar [7]

Answer:

C. The moon's gravitational pull and Earth's rotation

Explanation:

The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Hope this helped
