Accepted Answer

While researchers have made many discoveries about the effects of sleep, they have not yet been able to fully explain the reason why we need it. The other options suggest specific substances or changes that occur during sleep, but may not be universally true for all types of sleep or individuals.

Question 8

The deepest stage of sleep is _________ sleep.&#10;A)Stage 1&#10;B)Stage 2&#10;C)REM&#10;D)Stage 4

Accepted Answer

Stage 4 sleep, also known as delta or slow wave sleep, is the deepest stage of sleep. During this stage, the brain waves slow down significantly and it is difficult to wake the sleeper. This is the stage of sleep that is most important for physical restoration and healing.

Question 9

Our sleeping-waking cycle follows a(n)_________ rythm.&#10;A)infradian&#10;B)circadian&#10;C)diurnal&#10;D)ultradian

Accepted Answer

The terms in the options refer to different types of biological rhythms. Infradian rhythms have a period longer than a day (e.g. menstrual cycle), diurnal rhythms are active during the daytime and inactive at night, ultradian rhythms have a period shorter than a day (e.g. hunger cycles). Circadian rhythms are biological rhythms that repeat approximately every 24 hours and are synchronized with the light-dark cycle of the environment, such as our sleeping-waking cycle. Therefore, the best choice is B)circadian.

Question 10

Overall,research has indicated that ________ influences the amount of stress that people experience.&#10;A)the seriousness of life events&#10;B)degree of control people have over their lives&#10;C)intelligence&#10;D)physical health

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that the degree of control people have over their lives, such as their ability to make decisions and have autonomy in their daily activities, is a significant factor in influencing the amount of stress they experience. This has been found to be true across a variety of life events and situations, including work stress and financial strain. Other factors such as physical health and intelligence may also play a role in stress levels, but the research consistently shows that control is a major contributor. The seriousness of life events can also impact stress, but it is often mediated by the level of control individuals have over the situation.
