Question

question 20 (mandatory) (1 point) emotional stress is most likely to raise ______________ levels. a) potassium b) leukocyte esterase c) cortisol d) creatine phosphokinase

Explanation:

Cortisol is known as the stress - hormone. Emotional stress triggers the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands, increasing its levels in the body. Potassium is an electrolyte not directly related to emotional stress in this way. Leukocyte esterase is an enzyme related to white - blood cell activity and not primarily associated with stress. Creatine phosphokinase is an enzyme related to muscle function and not typically elevated by emotional stress.

Answer:

c) Cortisol
