Answer to Question 1

The three phases are alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. During the alarm phase, energy reserves are mobilized and the body prepares itself with fight or flight responses. During the resistance phase, glucocorticoids are released to (1 ) mobilize lipid and protein reserves, (2 ) conserve glucose for neural tissue, (3 ) elevate and stabilize blood glucose concentrations, (4 ) conserve salts and water, and (5 ) lose K+ and H+. During the exhaustion phase, homeostatic regulation breaks down. Epinephrine plays a dominant role in the alarm phase and glucocorticoids are dominant in the resistance phase.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
