Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: 1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 4

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system stimulates many parts of the body for action during times of danger.

This signalling starts when the postganglionic neuron depolarizes, and postganglionic neuron releases acetylcholine, then the acetylcholine binds to nicotinic receptor in order to transmit impulse, and further the acetylcholine binds to sweat gland’s muscarinic receptor to disrupt or inactivate the action of acetylcholine. Finally, the neuron releases acetylcholine, and the neuron exits lumbar segment of spinal cord.

The danger has now been fully interpreted.

Stress" is defined as _______.
shusha [124]
I think the answer is B, the interpretation of specific events as threatening or challenging. According to Hans Selye stress is a body's nonspecific response to any demand made on it, physical arousal to events seen as threatening, and mental arousal to events seen as challenging. However, there are effective strategies to cope with stress which include a sense of humor, relaxation, social skills, and social support.

Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight
8_murik_8 [283]

Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves. Leaf cells contain many chloroplasts (up to 50 per cell). These organelles contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, capable of capturing light energy. This energy is used to make sugar molecules from water drawn from the soil by the roots and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, captured by the leaves. The sugars produced subsequently distributed in the different parts of the plant.

Here is the reaction of photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2

But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:

photochemical reactions (clear phase):

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy;

the Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.

The first phase of photosynthesis, called clear phase, requires the illumination of the leaf. Chlorophyll, which is embedded in the thylakoid membrane, absorbs light energy. This energy absorption is accompanied by the degradation of water molecules and the release of oxygen.

In a second phase independent of light, called the dark phase, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used for the transformation of carbon dioxide molecules into sugar molecules.

The sugars made by photosynthesis are stored in the cell as starch, transformed into other organic molecules, such as proteins, or degraded in the mitochondria during respiration to meet the energy needs of the plant.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": kleptocracy.

Explanation:

American geographer Jared Diamond (born in 1937) stated in his book "<em>Guns, Germs, and Steel</em>" that kleptocracy is the state in which society has less egalitarian benefits and promotes a sense of more equal traits. According to Diamond, this is achieved by redistributing the tribute in popular ways among the population.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The secondary assessment is done after the completion of the primary assessment. During this assessment, the clinician goes through head-to-toe and through step by step to determine what has happened.  

This can comprise, and however, is not restricted to inspection, special tests, bony and soft tissue palpation, neurological, and circulation. Repeating the essential components of the secondary assessment while reevaluating the patient mainly signifies focusing on the queries associated with the modifications in the symptoms and repeating the physical exam associated with the particular injuries or complaints of the patient.
