The correct term to fill in the blank would be cortisol. In the context of stress hormones and the brain, cortisol has a profound effect on the hippocampus, a brain structure that plays a pivotal role in memory. Cortisol is classified as a steroid hormone which is produced by the adrenal gland. It is deemed as the stress hormone as it is released as a response to stress as part of the fight or flight process. From studies, cortisol was found to have effect on the hippocampus when present in high levels. It damage and kill the cells in that area of the brain. The hippocampus is the area of the brain that is responsible for the long term memory storage. So, when this part is damage then the storage for our memories would surely be affected.

You were instructed to compare growth on the na and columbia cna plates. why not simply compare the organisms to each other on t
Triss [41]

Answer:

Columbia CNA agar is a type of selective medium employed in culturing gram positive cocci and distincting it from clinical and nonclinical samples made up of a combined flora. Columbia CNA SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED with general culture medium such as the Nutrient agar which provides the necessary nutrients for the growth of diverse species of organisms.

Good growth stands for the growth of organisms picked or needed to culture with the required amount of colonies on Columbia CNA. Poor or no growth infers on the NA availability for the growth of the specimen organism, it is absent in the culture as it lacks the needed amount of colonies.

In conclusion, It may look good to look for the similarities and differences of the organisms to one another on the CNA plate since the NA plate is mainly the control and is used to evaluate the growth quality of the bacteria, contrasting it to the CNA plate is of no use as its main reason would be futile.

A book review would be considered
masha68 [24]
It is definitely not a primary source: this would be a book itself.

Now, is it a tertiary source? I don't think so: the author of the review should have read the book and should only be referring to this book in the review.

I think it's a secondary source.
