What are the five approaches to assess whether an animal is stressed?

What will be an ideal response?


The approaches to assess whether an animal is stressed include:

1 . Behavioral indices
2 . Plasma concentrations of the adrenal stress hormone, cortisol and corticosterone
3 . Production metrics such as growth or milk production, or egg production
4 . Health indices including the frequency of injuries, disease, and mortality as stress impairs the immune response
5 . Physiological indices such as heart rate

Which of the following would you NOT expect to increase the total number of moles of C?

The reaction A + B ? C occurs in the vapor phase. It is an exothermic reaction. It is beneficial to carry out the reaction in the presence of liquid water, because C is somewhat soluble in water while A and B are effectively insoluble. The Henry’s Law constant for C in water increases as the temperature increases. We are interested in maximizing the total number of moles of C in the system, regardless of whether the C is in the liquid or vapor phase. A. Increasing the pressure at constant temperature. B. Increasing the number of moles of water while leaving P and T constant. C. Increasing the temperature at constant pressure. D. Decreasing the temperature at constant pressure. E. It is impossible to answer the question without specific values of H and K.
