Answer: REM

Explanation:

There are four stages, 3 of them are non-REM stages, (or NREM) and obviously, the other is the REM stage.

We are looking for a stage where your body becomes "paralyzed".

This would be the REM sleep stage.

This is the stage where most of your dreams happen, and that is why your body is more-or-less paralyzed, so you do not move while dreaming.

There are other characteristics, like irregular (and faster) breathing and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.

_______,inherited traits that increase an organisms chance of survival, also determine an organism’s niche.
Delicious77 [7]

Adaptations,inherited traits that increase an organisms chance of survival, also determine an organism’s niche.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An adaptation is a variation, or genetic modification, that supports an organism, such as a plant or animal, to endure in its environment. An adaptation can be architectural, suggesting it is a physical portion of the organism. An adaptation can also be behavioral, influencing the way an organism responds. An adaptation is a feature of an organism that raises its possibilities of surviving and/or reproducing.

Organisms are frequently well modified to the abiotic and biotic requirements of the circumstances in which they live. An organism’s adaptations are a consequence of the genes the organism derives from its parents.

__________ lacks the capacity to remember a pathogen or react differently to it in the future, whereas __________ utilizes memor
Art [367]

Answer:

Nonspecific resistance; adaptive immunity

Explanation:

The immune response against any antigen can be specific or non- specific. The specific immune response is provided by lymphocytes like B lymphocyte and T lymphocytes because after interaction with antigen they differentiate into memory cells which is saved in memory and when that antigen comes again in the body the memory cell easily ward it off. This type of immunity is called adaptive immunity.

In non-specific immunity, memory is not made after interaction and killing of the antigen or microbes by immune cells because the antigen is killed non specifically. Non-specific resistance is provided by phagocytic cells mainly.

An experiment is conducted in which the height of the ramp is changed and the speed of the skateboard down the ramp is measured.
Radda [10]

Answer:

The responding (dependent) variable

Explanation:

In an experiment, one of the variables is either changed/maipulated or measured. The variable that is deliberately changed is called the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE while the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable, or is being measured is called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.

Hence, in the experiment involving the height of the ramp and the speed of the skateboard, the SPEED OF THE SKATEBOARD IS THE DEPENDENT/RESPONDING VARIABLE because it is the variable being measured.
