Heparin acts as a cofactor for antithrombin. Antithrombin inhibits the formation of thrombin, which in turn inhibits the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. When fibrin is absent, platelet plugs which are unstable will eventually come apart, hence blood clotting does not occur.

Which best exemplifies the concept of neuroplasticity?
KonstantinChe [14]
The correct answer is "the formation of new brain cell connections as the result of reading a book".

Usually, neuroplasticity is apparent in young children when the central nervous system has an abundance of neurons. This is always in the context of forming new brain cell connections or synapses that will lead the person to access the information quicker. This also exemplifies the principle of use and disuse when it comes to knowledge. 

The other choices concerns the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and the endocrine/reproductive system; all of which do not have a relation with neuroplasticity.

What is your stance on genetically modified foods? Are you for or against them?
Vinvika [58]
GMOs have a ton of pros and cons, so it's hard to say. Although, I personally would like to avoid them. With the amount of people who have gone gluten free, there's more of a reason for it than being a hipster or a yuppie. Because the demand for wheat is so high, we had to genetically modify it. Although this increased its abundance, a lot of humans' digestive systems haven't evolved with it. That is the reason why it makes so many people sick, because they cant digest it. If the rate at which GMOs are being created and nourished continues, it's likely our digestive systems will reject it, possibly causing famine due to the inability to eat our own food.<span />
