Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Rhythmic biologic clocks are known to exist in plants, animals, and humans. Circadian rhythms complete a full cycle every 24 hours and in humans affect heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, hormone secretions, and metabolism, as well as performance and mood.

Ans: C
The hypothalamus has control centers for several involuntary activities of the body, one of which concerns sleeping and waking. Injury to the hypothalamus may cause a person to sleep for abnormally long periods.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
