Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "biological clock" refers to the natural mechanism within our bodies that regulates our daily cycles of activity and rest, known as circadian rhythms. This clock is deeply ingrained in our biology and can be disrupted when we travel across time zones, leading to jet lag. Choice A is incorrect because "set point" typically refers to a specific level or range of a physiological variable that is maintained by the body, such as body temperature or blood pressure. Choice C is incorrect because "analgesic response" refers to the body's ability to reduce pain perception. Choice D is incorrect because the "hard problem of consciousness" refers to the philosophical question of how subjective experience arises from physical processes in the brain.
