Answer:

To test the hardness of a specimen take it and try to scratch it with the first rock in your hardness kit, Talc. If it is scratched then the rock you're testing is hardness 1. If not then try to scratch the Talc with your rock. If the rock scratches the Talc then it is harder than the Talc.

~+ lil more info +~

nstead, common objects are used as tools to perform the hardness test:

fingernail (hardness = 2.5)

copper penny (hardness = 3)

glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5.5)

steel file (hardness = 6.5)

Which of the following is not a sign of possible pest infestation?
Brrunno [24]

The right answer is smelly garbage.

Infestation is the penetration into the body of a parasite whose nature is not microbial.

smelly garbage is not synonymous of infestation, because the olfactory system only detected smelly metabolites of these microorganisms. This does not necessarily mean that the microorganism has managed to penetrate the body.

By cons other proposals are signs and tools for infestation (torn packaging with food leaking out, dead insect bodysuits, feathers, and fur).

Give the definition of parasympathetic nervous system?
SashulF [63]

Answer: Autonomic nervous system is made up of 3 divisions; Sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic division. All these divisions are involuntary actions where parasympathetic is ultimately responsible for the "rest and digest" part of it. When the body is at rest the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits or lowers high energy requiring bodily functions.

This nervous system will lower any fight or flight response actions such as the release of epinephrine into the blood and enable digestion, urination and defeacation. When engaged in digestion you feel relaxed and at rest, this is solely due to the parasympathetic nevous system.
