Answer:

Ego

Explanation:

In 1923, Sigmund Freud's personality theory was structured into three different parts viz: Id, ego and superego

The id is the instinctive and unconscious part of the personality which responds directly to urges, needs and desires. The id operates on the pleasure principle that every wishful impulse should be satiated instantly regardless of the resulting effect.

The ego is the part that mediates between the unreasonable id and societal beliefs. It is the reasoning and decision-making component of the psyche.

The superego is the part that acts as a self critical conscience, reflecting the social standards that has been learnt

In this scenario involving Cecil, the id part of his personality is responsible for the sexual attraction to his English teacher but the ego part of his personality is making him realize that is socially unreasonable for his teacher to respond to his sexual advances. His ego, which operates with the reality principle is restraining him from acting from his feelings in consideration of social realities.

Therefore, his ego is restraining him from expressing his feelings of sexual attraction (Id) considering societal consequences.

Why rapid binge drinking is more dangerous than slower consumption of alcohol?
Tpy6a [65]
The same way we never inject a full bag of anything quickly and intravenously. Your body would not be able to compensate for the amount of the substance. Alcohol or more importantly the Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol in alcoholic beverages is the active ingredient of such beverages. It is also a drug called a CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant which means it is in the same class category of Opioids (Such as Heroin and Morphine) and Barbiturates (Rophynol). Your body processes alcohol via the liver, as it is also considered a toxin. By consuming a massive amount of alcohol without spacing it out, you will overload your system, not only literally overwhelming your liver and causing Alcohol Poisoning, but you also can go into a state similar to a Heroin overdose.

In metaphase where do sister chromatids go?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Long protein filaments called kinetochore microtubules extended from poles on either end of the cell and attached to the kinetochores. During metaphase, the kinetochore microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align along the equator of the cell, called the equatorial plane.

Bastrop had a forest fire about 6 years ago. Describe what will the area look like in about 20 years?
Gre4nikov [31]
Forest fires actually help the environment, they remove plants and trees that are useless and leave space for new plants and trees to grow. After 26 years after the fire, the forest will start to grow again and will be green once again. 

Have a nice day! :)
