Answer:

This phenomenon is known as Refraction.

Explanation:

Light waves change speed when they pass across the boundary between two substances with a different density, such as air and glass. This causes them to change direction, an effect called refraction.

At the boundary between two transparent substances:

the light slows down going into a denser substance, and the ray bends towards the normal

the light speeds up going into a less dense substance, and the ray bends away from the normal

The "stress hormones" that were released by Benita's adrenal glands would likely be epinephrine and norepinephrine. Some studies have shown that something as simple as laughter can lower the level of stress hormones in most people. Since severe stress can lead to other health problems, it is important to get help from a medical professional to bring your stress level under control.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

b). Activation of an upstream guanine nucleotide exchange factor

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

When a ligand activates the G protein-coupled receptor, it induces a conformational change in the receptor that allows the receptor to function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that exchanges GDP for GTPthus turning the G protein-coupled receptor on.
The activated G-protein then dissociates into an alpha (G-alpha) and a beta-gamma complex.
