Answer:

caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system

Explanation:

Caffeine is a substance that acts on the central nervous system to increase the resting metabolic rate, thereby energy drinks with caffeine can increase the number of calories burned at rest. Energy drinks are generally composed of stimulants such as, for example, caffeine, taurine and glucuronolactone, in addition to substances associated with mental alertness (e.g., B vitamins, panax ginseng root extract, L-carnitine, etc). It has been shown that the overdose of caffeine may be associated with palpitations, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes (caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity), etc. Moreover, it is also important to highlight that energy drinks generally contain high sugar levels (around 40 grams of sugar for each beverage). In consequence, well-reputed health organizations discourage the use of energy drinks in order to avoid stimulant ingredients and reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.

How do the resurection of fern, crysts of brine shrimps and tardigrade survive with no water?
ehidna [41]
They survive without water by entering a special mode, otherwise called as shriveling. They can lose even 95% of water in their body and still live, even though they would look like dead plants, they would actually be alive. In the absence of water, tardigrades use a sugar called trehalose, which becomes their source of life until they find some water.

What effect would you predict acrylamide treatment would have on the mechanical rigidity of a keratinocyte (skin cell)?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

C is surely the answer

C. Disrupting intermediate filaments will result in cells that are more susceptible to mechanical forces. In the case of the keratinocytes, disrupting keratin, a key IF in these cells, would result in very fragile cells. Less force would need to be applied using the magnetic beads to damage them or change their shape.
