Answer:
A) The drug been abused by this individual is cocaine. Cocaine has been show to be powdery in nature with a distinctive white color.
B) The effects reported after use includes:
Feelings of euphoria.
Increased energy.
Inflated self-esteem.
Elevated mood.
Temporarily decreases the need for sleep.
Suppression of appetite.
Cocaine use may also bring about:
Feelings of restlessness.
Irritability and anxiety.
Panic.
Paranoia.
Etc.
C) Cocaine acts by blocking the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. By binding to the transporters that normally remove the excess of these neurotransmitters from the synaptic gap, cocaine prevents them from being reabsorbed by the neurons that released them and thus increases their concentration in the synapses. Due to this, the natural effect of dopamine on the post-synaptic neurons is amplified. The group of neurons thus modified produces much more dependency (from dopamine), feelings of confidence (from serotonin), and energy (from norepinephrine) typically experienced by people who take cocaine.
In addition, because the norepinephrine neurons in the locus coeruleus project their axons into all the main structures of the forebrain, the powerful overall effect of cocaine can be readily understood.
In chronic cocaine consumers, the brain comes to rely on this exogenous drug to maintain the high degree of pleasure associated with the artificially elevated levels of some neurotransmitters in its reward circuits. The postsynaptic membrane can even adapt so much to these high dopamine levels that it actually manufactures new receptors. The resulting increased sensitivity produces depression and cravings if cocaine consumption ceases and dopamine levels return to normal.
Dependency on cocaine is thus closely related to its effect on the neurons of the reward circuit.

Answer:
D) symbolic interventionist perspective
Explanation:
- The symbolic interaction is a theory that states the members of the society learn t understand though the interaction with symbols and that also includes the letters of our languages and words are merely sounds and human acts are merely behaviors.
Answer:
cost.
Explanation:
Under software-defined infrastructure cloud, the company will be able to conduct their technical computing infrastructure without any help from humans.
When we look at the business side, implementing something like this tend to require a really large initial investment for research/development. The company would most likely need a decade or more before they can recoup their investment for the cloud.
