Answer:

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a small collection of hypothalamic nerve cells in the brain, acts as a master circadian pacemaker, regulating the timing of the sleep-wake cycle and coordinating it with circadian rhythms in other brain regions and tissues to improve behavioural adaption.

It triggers REM sleep every 90 minutes or so while sleeping.

The suprachiasmatic nucleus or nuclei (SCN) is a small brain area located right above the optic chiasm in the hypothalamus. It is in charge of regulating circadian rhythms. In a 24-hour cycle, the neuronal and hormonal activity it creates govern a variety of bodily systems.

Marysya12 [62]
A production possibility curve shows all maximum possibilities of output for two goods. This curve oftentimes takes the form of a curve to the right. An economy that is coinciding with this curve is said to be efficient. However, if the economy is operating below the curve, then it is said to be inefficient.
