    Correct Answer
    E. Subconscious
    Explanation
    The term "subconscious" refers to mental processes or activities that occur below the level of conscious awareness. It involves thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that are not readily accessible to the conscious mind but still influence our actions and decisions. This can include automatic processes, habits, and instincts that operate without conscious effort. The subconscious mind plays a significant role in shaping our behavior and can be influenced by experiences, beliefs, and emotions.

      Hyper awareness

    Correct Answer
    A. No awareness
    Explanation
    The term "biologically based" suggests that the lowest level of known perception is rooted in biological processes. "No awareness" implies a complete lack of conscious perception or recognition of stimuli. This means that at this lowest level, individuals are not aware of any sensory input or stimuli, indicating a lack of conscious awareness.

      Subconscious

    Correct Answer
    B. No awareness
    Explanation
    The term "no awareness" suggests that the activity of requiring minimal attention, such as walking to class while talking on a cell phone, does not require conscious awareness. This means that the individual can perform the task without actively thinking about it or being fully aware of their actions. Instead, it is likely that the task is performed automatically or at a subconscious level, allowing the person to engage in other activities simultaneously.

      Circadian rhythms

    • E.

      Dyssomnias

    Correct Answer
    D. Circadian rhythms
    Explanation
    The correct answer is circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms refer to the biological changes that occur on a 24-hour cycle. These rhythms regulate various physiological processes in the body, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone production, body temperature, and metabolism. They are controlled by an internal biological clock, primarily located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain. Disruptions in circadian rhythms can lead to sleep disorders, such as dyssomnias and parasomnias. The pineal gland also plays a role in regulating circadian rhythms by secreting melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep and wakefulness.
