Question
Chapter 31.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The three reasons which show the importance of soil organic matter (SOM).
Introduction: Soil is the uppermost layer of the earth’s surface. It has a complex composition of a variety of minerals, nutrients, organic matter, and non-organic compounds. It provides habitat for a variety of microorganisms. Soil organic matter is the indicator of organic content in the soil.

Problem 1 (Mental Health): The survivor victim is dealing with acute stress and symptoms of a
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to their traumatic experience during the January 2025 wildfire.
Goal 1: To alleviate the client's overall level, frequency, and intensity of
anxiety and PTSD symptoms so that daily functioning remains
unimpaired.
Objective 1: The client will learn and regularly use at least two anxieties
management techniques to reduce anxiety symptoms to less than three episodes per week.
Intervention 1: The therapist will provide psychoeducation about anxiety and
PTSD, including their symptoms and triggers. The therapist will also teach and assist the client in adopting relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation, to better manage anxiety and lessen PTSD symptoms.

A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2). Which of the following claims is most consistent with the data shown in Figure 2 ? A Esp expression is necessary to prevent the overproduction of insulin.
