After a police car with flashing lights and blaring siren passes Tom and pulls over another driver for speeding, Tom's heartbeat soon slows down, his blood pressure decreases, and he stops sweating. These calming physical reactions are MOST directly regulated by his nervous system.

Parasympathetic

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions while the sympathetic nervous system drives the “fight or flight” response in stressful situations. The main purpose of the PNS is to conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination. That is why the Parasympathetic Nervous System is being used in this scenario. Hope this helped :)

a. population growth is decreasing

-2

+4

-10

-3

-8

-3

so the population decreased by 24 because 3+3+8+10+2=26-2=24.

hoped i !

explanation:

above statement is not a true statement about the open ocean because the open ocean has low levels of nutrients. most of the photosynthetic activity on earth occurs in the open ocean within the photic zone. organisms in the deep ocean are exposed to frigid temperatures and total darkness but it does not begin at the low-tide mark.
