The passage addresses that npy in conjunction with gnrh (but not by itself) can cause increased secretion of lh vs gnrh alone. scientists are hopeful that npy can be used in combination with gnrh to treat certain cases of female infertility. individuals with a deficiency in what receptor system would be most likely to benefit from such a treatment?

a. gnrh
b. lh
c. npy
d. lh and npy

The correct answer is option A, that is, GnRH.

Explanation:

The individuals with a deficiency in GnRH would be the most likely to get benefit from the treatment as NPY elevates the usual activity of GnRH in instigating the LH levels in the blood. Option B is incorrect, as NPY stimulates LH that then combines with the receptors, which are deficient. To some degree, the excess LH would have helped, however, not as much as if GnRH receptors are lacking.  

Only if there is a deficiency of GnRH receptors, then the NPY would have helped the most as NPY would utilize a distinct receptor, and thus, normal levels of LH would get generated.  

blue stars have the highest surface temp

stellar distances are usually expressed in light-years

the measure of a star's brightness is called magnitude

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
