Answer:
Kianna's change of interests is an example of Erikson's identity vs confusion stage.
Explanation:
The identity vs confusion stage is the 5th stage of Erikson's theory. This stage is during the teen years and is a time of personal exploration that allows the person to construct his or her identity through different experiences. The person learns about what he or she likes and dislikes and thinks about the future. During this process, the teen might be confused at times because he or she is learning about him or herself.

What is the name for the syndrome that involves an individual having a low level of motivation on intelligence tests based on the belief that the tests are biased and test results are unimportant for success in life?
a. sorting
b. low effort syndrome
c. low self-esteem
d. field-dependent style
Answer:
B. Low-effort Syndrome
Explanation:
Low-effort syndrome is characterized by a refusal to put an effort or work hard to achieve something. People with this syndrome have unusually low levels of motivation, not only on intelligence tests, but in tests overall because they are afraid of the results, which would probably be low due to the lack of effort.
In turn, these people often state that tests are unimportant for life and claim to have a desire of having an 'easy' life. However, all of this is a consequence of their fear of failure.

After suffering a brain injury in a motorcycle accident, Arotza cannot form new memories. He can, however, remember events before the accident. Arotza's memory difficulty most clearly illustrates____________.A. retroactive interferenceB. the misinformation effectC. amnesiaD. déjà vu
Answer:
amnesia
Explanation:
Amnesia because when there is sudden impact, either part of your brain is damaged, or is overworked so you start to forget.
Arotza's condition, where he cannot form new memories after a brain injury but can remember past events, is indicative of anterograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is an aftermath of brain trauma affecting the hippocampus, preventing the transition of information from short-term to long-term memory.
Explanation:Arotza's condition exemplifies anterograde amnesia. This is a type of amnesia where a person is unable to form new memories following an event that caused brain damage, such as a motorcycle accident. However, previous memories, especially long-term ones that were formed before the event, remain intact. In context with Arotza's symptoms, he can recall events that occurred prior to his accident, but cannot remember new information.
Anterograde amnesia generally results from brain trauma that impacts the hippocampus, which hampers the ability to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory, thus, preventing the consolidation of memories. Despite the inability to form new episodic or semantic memories, those suffering from anterograde amnesia often can still develop new procedural memories.

Answer:
He is suffering of Transient global amnesia , anterograde and retrograde amnesia.
Explanation:
Transient global amnesia is sudden and temporary loss in the memory. As the people having this problem can not store the new memories and it can not be related with any common neurological problems.
anterograde amnesia is the loss of patient ability to create new memories after the event due to which amnesia occurs which will result in complete inability to recall the recent past event and memories.
Retrograde amnesia is the inability to recall past memories
Which of the following is a true statement: Group of answer choices Reversal designs should always be used over an alternating treatments design whenever possible Reversal and alternating treatments designs should not be combined within an experiment Reversal and alternating treatments designs could be combined within an experiment Reversal and alternating treatments are synonymous
Answer:
The true statement is: Reversal and alternating treatments designs should not be combined within an experiment
Explanation:
Reversal and alternating treatments are not the same because one is just another treatment to use and the other is a possible treatment that could work.
However, these both cannot be used together without its pertinent experiment because it could cause a crossed effect, also, the secondary effects should be consider.
Reversal and alternating treatments designs could be combined within an experiment. Reversal designs establish causality by removing treatments to see changes, while alternating treatments allow comparison of different treatments within the same subject over time.
The true statement among the options provided is that reversal and alternating treatments designs could be combined within an experiment. Reversal designs, also known as ABA designs, involve introducing a treatment and then withdrawing it to see if the dependent variable reverts to its baseline level, which helps to establish causality. On the other hand, alternating treatments designs are used within single-subject or within-subjects designs, where multiple treatments are alternated to determine their effectiveness across different conditions or time points. The combination of these designs can provide robust data on the efficacy of the interventions and the possible variables affecting outcomes.
Additionally, two-group experimental designs, like pretest-posttest control group design and posttest-only control group design, are simpler forms of true experimental designs and do not necessarily include reversal or alternating treatments. It is important to note that experimental research spans both true experimental designs, which involve random assignment and treatment manipulation, and quasi-experimental designs, which may not include random assignment.

Lance would like to lose two pounds a week. If his present energy intake is 4,200 kcal a day, his energy expenditure does not change, and 1 pound equals 3,500 kcals, how many kilocalories should he consume each day to achieve his goal?
a) 3200
b) 3600
c) 3800
d) 3400
Answer:
a) 3200
Explanation:
Total energy required to lose 2 pounds : 3500 x 2 = 7000
No. of days to lose energy = 7
Total energy required to lose per day : 7000/7 = 1000
So, Lance should take : 4200-1000 = 3200 kcal to lose 2 pounds in a week
Which reflex is triggered when a stranger suddenly grasps your arm?

The above reflex is a medullary reflex, what it means that we can feel thanks to the receptors and the nerves present in the osea medula.
this reflex is responsible for keeping the body in position after a reflex in which there is flexion of a limb.
This reflex is due to the presence of inhibitory interneurons
Which of the following would be considered a monoculture?
a-a 100-acre field that is planted with a variety of crops for use in feeding farm animals
b-a garden plot planted with 10 tomato plants
c-a 100-acre field, all of which is planted with the same variety of corn
d-a two-acre field planted with a variety of foods intended to support several families for the year
Answer: c- A 100-acre field, all of which is planted with the same variety of corn.
Explanation:
Monoculture in agriculture practice can be defined as the practice of producing or growing a single kind of crop, livestock species, plant or breed in a field of farming. Annually planting the same kind of crop over the same agriculture field is likely to deplete the nutrients from the earth on which the plant relies upon. The soil becomes weak and unable to support the growth of crops.
C. is the correct option this is because the entire agriculture field is utilized to grow the same kind of crop that is the same variety of all corn plants.
Final answer:
A monoculture is an agricultural approach where a large area is dedicated to a single crop, which in this case is represented by a 100-acre field planted with the same variety of corn.
Explanation:
The concept of monoculture refers to the agricultural practice where a single crop is grown on a large area of land, often employing uniform methods of planting, irrigation, and harvesting. This approach is known for its efficiency in the utilization of farming machinery but also for the risks it poses to biodiversity and soil health.
The correct choice that represents a monoculture is a 100-acre field, all of which is planted with the same variety of corn. Monocultures like this can deplete soil nutrients and may attract plant pests since genetic diversity is diminished.

Eating foods that boost levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin serves to
Answer:
Improve mood
It also helps with sleep, memory, digestion, appetite.
Explanation:
It has been demonstrated that the consumption of food with high levels of tryptophan, an amino acid that plays a major role in serotonin production in the brain, improves the mood considerably and other benefits as well.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and chemical that plays a role in mood, memory, behavior, appetite, digestion, sleep, amongst many other activities. It is also known as the key neurotransmitter for happiness. The absence of this neurotransmitter could lead to severe disorders, such as depression.
Therefore, eating foods that boost levels of serotonin, such as salmon, spinach, and nuts, serve to improve mood, sleep patterns, memory, etc.

Explanation:
Insulin is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets in response to high blood sugar. True or false
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Insulin is the peptide hormone that is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas in the blood when the concentration of glucose becomes more than an appropriate level in the blood.
It reduces the extra glucose in the blood by storing it in the form of glycogen in the body. By doing this it helps in maintaining the blood sugar level and protect the body from hyperglycemia.
Alpha cells of the pancreas release another hormone called glucagon which works antagonistic to insulin by raising the blood glucose level. So the given statement is false.
The statement is false; insulin is secreted by beta cells in response to high blood sugar, while alpha cells secrete glucagon in response to low blood sugar.
Explanation:The statement that insulin is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets in response to high blood sugar is false. Insulin is in fact secreted by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets, or the islets of Langerhans. When blood glucose levels rise, it is the beta cells that release insulin to lower the blood glucose by facilitating its uptake by the body's cells. Conversely, the alpha cells produce the hormone glucagon, which is released when blood glucose levels are low, increasing blood glucose by promoting the break down of glycogen in the liver and gluconeogenesis.

Some of the common types of Fracture are
1) Stable fracture:
In this type of fracture bones are partially break and broken ends of the bone are barely out of place.
2) Open, compound fracture:
The skin in this type of fracture become ruptured by the bone and in some cases bones become visible in the wound. This is severe type of fracture.
3) Transverse fracture:
In this type, fracture appears in horizontal line. This may be same stable or open fracture but difference in direction of fracture.
4) Oblique fracture:
This type of fracture occurs an angled pattern.
5) Comminuted fracture:
In this type, fractures occurs in bone with three or more pieces.
Cause
The most common causes of fractures are:
Trauma:
Some kind of accident such as a fall, a car accident, or a during playing game.
Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is the disorder in which bones become weakens due to de-mineralization which makes bones more likely to break.
Overuse:
Too much utilization of the muscles make them tired and place more force on bone. This can result in stress fractures. This type of fracture most often occurs in athletes.

A person’s blood volume (and blood pressure) can fluctuate based on intake of sodium and fluid, but is carefully regulated via several hormonal signals. Choose the statement below that correctly describes blood volume and osmolality.
Answer:
The distribution of water in one or another compartment is due to forces that drive the movement of the liquid. These forces depend on the concentration of solutes (particles, molecules and ions dissolved in the water of a compartment) present in the compartments because the water moves to the compartment where the concentration of solutes is higher. This force that determines the movement of water is the osmotic pressure.
In organisms the most important electrolytes from the point of view of their concentration, therefore, of their osmotic effect, are the sodium and potassium ions. But they predominate in different compartments. Potassium is the most important electrolyte in the cell compartment while sodium is in the extracellular compartment. The concentration of these cations in the compartments indicated is expressed as a characteristic called osmolarity (number of osmoles per liter).
It follows from the foregoing that the control of volume homeostasis depends on the control of osmolarity.
The regulation of volume homeostasis then allows a normal circulatory and blood function condition that is vital for normal cell functioning. If a situation of hypovolemia (decrease in blood volume) occurs due to dehydration or blood loss, a series of physiological and behavioral mechanisms appear to correct the imbalance. Hypovolemia is detected by baroreceptors present in the sasnguine vessels (aotic arch, carotid sinus, afferent renal arterioles). The first to respond are those of the aortic arch and the carotid sinus which send signals to the nucleus of the solitary tract, located in the brainstem. Signals from this nucleus reach the hypothalamus and act on the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. These nuclei, which produce the hormone arginine-vasopressin (or vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone), increases its release. This hormone acts on the kidney causing an increase in water reabsorption, resulting in decreased urine flow.
Normal volemia is thirst. Hypovolemia not only represents a decrease in plasma volume but also an increase in the osmolarity of the extracellular compartment. A change in this parameter is a very efficient signal about thirst behavior, described as an intense motivation to seek, obtain and consume water. An increase in plasma osmolarity between 1-4% induces thirst behavior. The increase in osmolarity seems to act on specific cells sensitive to this type of stimuli, the osmorreceptors, which have been located in the vascular organ of the terminal lamina, in the anterior hypothalamus. Other hyperosmolarity sensitive neurons are located in the subfornical organ, in the medial preoptic nucleus and also in the magnocellular cells.
But also hypovolemia stimulates the secretion of renin by the kidneys. This enzyme causes the formation in the blood plasma of a substance, angiotensin I, which is transformable in another molecule, angiotensin II. This is a peptide that acts as a potent vasoconstrictor, but at the same time stimulates the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone from the adrenal cortex that also acts on the kidney. In this organ it causes the reabsorption of Na +, which passes to the plasma where it acts as a water retention factor, contributing, therefore, to the restoration and / or conservation of plasma volume.
In the case of hyperosmolarity, another strategy that the body uses in addition to drinking and water retention, is to eliminate excess Na +. This is achieved through the participation of other hormones such as atrial natriuretic factor, which is synthesized by the heart at the atrial level. This peptide is released by the mechanical stimulus that means the atrial distention and the actions on the kidney stimulating the loss of sodium chloride.
The option (C) is correct because the statement that correctly describes blood volume and osmolality is hormones like aldosterone increase blood volume by promoting sodium retention.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, is released in response to high blood osmolality. It acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, thus reducing urine output and increasing blood volume. Aldosterone promotes sodium retention by the kidneys, which leads to water retention, increasing blood volume. Atrial Natriuretic Hormone (ANH) reduces blood volume and pressure by promoting sodium and water excretion.
The other options are incorrect because:
The option (A) is incorrect because increased sodium intake typically leads to increased blood volume and osmolality, as the body retains water to balance the sodium.
The option (B) is incorrect because decreased fluid intake would decrease blood volume and increase osmolality, due to reduced water content in the blood.
The option (D) is incorrect because drinking more water increases blood volume and decreases osmolality by diluting the blood, not decreasing its volume.
The complete question is:
A person’s blood volume (and blood pressure) can fluctuate based on intake of sodium and fluid, but is carefully regulated via several hormonal signals. Choose the statement below that correctly describes blood volume and osmolality.
A) Increased sodium intake decreases blood volume and osmolality.
B) Decreaed fluid intake increases blood volume and decreases osmolality.
C) Hormones like aldosterone increase blood volume by promoting sodium retention.
D) Drinking more water decreases blood volume by diluting blood osmolality.
Miranda is physically fit. She has
a. an increased risk of osteoporosis
b. the strength, endurance, and flexibility to meet the demands of daily living
c. a greater need for vitamins and minerals than other women
d. None of tthe above is correct
Answer:
B. The strength, endurance, and flexibility to meet the demands of daily living.
Explanation:
The question states that Miranda is physically fit. Using common sense we can see that she will be strong and capable of meeting the demands of daily living, as that is essentially the definition of being physically fit. There is no evidence to suggest an increased risk of osteoporosis (no family history or explained lack of calcium in the diet), and there is no reason that Miranda would have a greater need for vitamins (no low vitamin levels mentioned) because she's healthy. The question said she is healthy, and the answer is- she's healthy.
