Answer: Folate can prevent birth defects of the baby's brain because it helps to form the neural tube.

Explanation:

<u>Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9</u>. After its intake, the digestive system converts it into the active form of vitamin B9 that will eventually be used by the cells to perform different functions. Basically, the body uses it to make new cells, because<u> it is vital for cell growth and development.</u> It is an important part the diet and it is also important during pregnancy. This is because it helps prevent neural tube defects such as anencephaly or spina bifida among others that occur when the spine and brain of a baby do not develop completely.  

<u>So, as stated above, folate is used during pregnancy because it play a role in the development and proliferation of the the neural tube.</u>

Other factors being equal, which sensory stimulus is least likely to lead to sensory adaptation?
valentina_108 [34]
The correct answer is: the wail of a loud car alarm. 
Sensory adaptation is a term that refers to the changes that stimuli can trigger on the sensory receptors. The process involves changes in the receptors' sensitivity and it is believed that all of the senses exhibit this adaptation. In particular, the sense of touch can quickly adapt to hot and cold stimulation, but not when the stimulus is extremely intense (such as too hot or too cold). Also, our olfactory sense presents the characteristic of odour fatigue. A prolonged exposure to a specific smell leads to a temporary inability to sense this smell and this is a type of sensory adaptation. Finally,
our hearing undergoes a sensory adaptation as well, but not when it comes to sudden, unexpected and instantaneous loud noises. That is why the wail of a loud car alarm will be the least likely to cause sensory adaptation.

Which factor when doubled would produce the greatest change in the centripetal force?
yaroslaw [1]
Let us consider the centripetal force equation,  
centripetal force F = mv² / r  
 f= force
 v= velocity
 m= mass
 r= radius.
 
 in all the factors only velocity has the power of 2. so when you double the velocity then it will become square of that. 
 if v= 2v , F = m4v² / r 
 so velocity is doubled it would produce the greatest change in the centripetal force.
