Answer:  the correct answer is A. ACTH

Explanation:

ACTH  stands for Adrenocorticotropic hormone  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress (along with its precursor corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus). Its principal effects are increased production and release of cortisol by the cortex of the adrenal gland. ACTH is also related to the circadian rhythm in many organisms.

Some helpful tips:

The nucleus is always going to be the big, spherical shape.

The ER is always going to be a weird, folded looking structure attached to the nucleus (rough = has ribosomes on it which are usually represented by little dots, smooth = has no ribosomes on it aka no dots)

The GA looks like the ER but it is not going to be attached to the nucleus like the ER is.

The mitochondria is always going to be pill-shaped and have weird folds inside of it.

What foods have the least impact on slowing the body's absorption rate of alcohol.
daser333 [38]

The right answer is foods that are high in fiber.

Alcohol passes into the esophagus and ends up in the stomach. 20% of this alcohol crosses the wall of the stomach to end up in the blood. Then the alcohol left in the stomach passes into the small intestine, which assimilates it quickly. The liver partly breaks down the alcohol that has passed into the bloodstream.

Alcohol reaches the brain, after about 10 minutes, through the blood. It is then that this part of the body and the nervous system undergo the effects (narcotics). The assimilation of alcohol lasts longer if The person is not fasting at that time (it will be necessary to avoid carbohydrate-based foods and to favor fatty and protein-rich foods to attenuate the absorption).
