Regarding pathogens, the statement that is true is that viruses cannot reproduce on their own.
Explanation:
Viruses are pathogenic agents not considered as living beings, since they are only constituted by genetic material surrounded by a viral capsid, besides not fulfilling vital functions.
These agents are unable to reproduce on their own, so they need to place their genetic material —DNA or RNA— inside a host cell, to modify its nuclear DNA and be able to reproduce.
The other options are not correct because:
- <u><em>Influenza can cause an upset stomach</em></u><em>. Influenza primarily affects the respiratory system.</em>
- <u><em>Pathogens affect everyone equally.</em></u><em> Each individual's immune response is different when exposed to the same pathogen.
</em>
- <u><em>Fungi are large, stoneflies organisms</em></u><em>. The pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albicans and Trichophyton, are different from the mushrooms and fungi that can be seen in soil or decomposed organic matter.</em>
Answer:
When the body is stressed, muscles tense up. Muscle tension is almost a reflex reaction to stress—the body’s way of guarding against injury and pain.
With sudden onset stress, the muscles tense up all at once, and then release their tension when the stress passes. Chronic stress causes the muscles in the body to be in a more or less constant state of guardedness. When muscles are taut and tense for long periods of time, this may trigger other reactions of the body and even promote stress-related disorders.
Explanation:
For example, both tension-type headache and migraine headache are associated with chronic muscle tension in the area of the shoulders, neck and head. Musculoskeletal pain in the low back and upper extremities has also been linked to stress, especially job stress.

Some argue that this is unethical, and can lead to being selfish; prolonging the patient's life for fear of losing them sooner, when it is against their wishes.
