The correct answer is "increased activity of the right hippocampal formation".
Hippocampus is a brain area which is part of the limbic system and is located below the cerebral cortex. Humans have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. Hippocampus is responsible for the formation of long-term memories, by participating in the consolidation of short-term to long-term memory. It also plays a very important role in spatial memory and orientation.
The task that this experienced cab-driver is asked to perform is related to spatial navigation and orientation abilities. The right hippocampus has been shown to participate in the formation of memory for locations in specific environments, while the left hippocampus has been shown to be involved in autobiographical and episodic memory. As a result, the PET scan will show an increased activity of the right hippocampus.

What are the three components of DNA? Where are they located on the “twisted ladder?”
vova2212 [387]
Phosphate, deoxyribose, and four nitrogenous bases- adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine! The “bars on the ladder” are the four nitrogenous bases. Adenine and thymine pair together always, and guanine and cytosine! Deoxyribose and phosphate makes up “the sides of the ladder”. Hope this helps!

A deciduous tree loses its leaves during cold, dry winter months. In which region of the country would this tree most likely be
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Option A, Central Ohio

Explanation:

Deciduous trees are prominent in Louisiana, Ohio, California and Florida landscapes and include mainly oak trees magnolia trees, bald cypress, sugar maple, hollies, vitex etc.  

These tropical deciduous trees lose their leaves to conserve water during dry weather season and then regrow during suitable growing season.  

Temperate deciduous trees shed their leaves during cold weather and tropical deciduous trees shed their leaves during dry season.

In Central Ohio, temperature is lower than 0 degree Celsius and hence deciduous trees will loose their leaves during winter.

Hence, Option A is correct

Jupiter has a similar composition to the sun. Why is the sun a star while Jupiter is not?
irakobra [83]

The correct answer is (b) Jupiter has mass less than that of sun which cannot generate enough pressure which can start hydrogen fusion. Jupiter has similar composition as both are entirely made up of hydrogen and helium. They both differ in the core and mass. The mass of Jupiter is so small as compared that it would not be able to generate enough pressure to start hydrogen fusion. Jupiter's core is made of metallic hydrogen and the core of sun is so hot that the hydrogen splits into electrons and protons. This generates hydrogen fusion.

Thus, Sun a star and Jupiter is not a star.
