The answer is C: acceptance.

Explanation for each option:

A. Anger: This stage involves feelings of frustration and helplessness. Individuals may ask "Why me?" and feel resentment towards their situation. Justin's decision to be left alone and his readiness for death do not align with the characteristics of anger.

B. Depression: In this stage, individuals may feel deep sadness, regret, fear, and uncertainty. While Justin may have experienced depression earlier, his current state of readiness and desire to be left alone suggest he has moved beyond this stage.

C. Acceptance: This stage is characterized by a sense of peace and readiness for what comes next. Individuals come to terms with their mortality and may wish to be left alone to prepare for the end. Justin's behavior aligns with the acceptance stage, as he has come to terms with his impending death and wants to be left alone.

D. Bargaining: This stage involves trying to negotiate for more time or a way out of the situation, often through promises or changes in behavior. Justin's readiness for death and desire to be left alone indicate he is not in the bargaining stage.

Therefore, Justin is experiencing the acceptance stage in Kübler-Ross's theory.

For the following reaction sequence, not all substrates and products are shown. ADH and ADLH are enzymes that catalyze each reaction in liver cells. A buildup of acetaldehyde is toxic to cells. Many different versions of the enzymes are present in human populations. Some versions have faster or slower reaction rates than others. Based on this information and your knowledge about biology, select true or false for each of the following statements. True False Different versions of the ADH and ADLH enzymes could have arisen in the population through errors that occurred during DNA replication. The genes that code for the ADH and ADLH enzymes are found only in liver cells. If a person takes in large quantities of ethanol in a short amount of time, mutations will occur that lead to faster ADH reaction rates. Individuals with slow ADLH enzymes are more likely to suffer adverse effects from ethanol consumption than individuals with fast ADLH enzymes. The observation that many different versions of these enzymes exist in human populations means that the enzymes are not critical for survival and reproduction.
