A process is rational if it always does the right thing based on the current information, given an ____ performance measure.
In short, rational processes go by the book and assume that the ____ is actually correct.
Human processes involve instinct, ____ and other variables that don’t necessarily reflect the book and may not even consider the existing data.
As an example, the rational way to drive ____ car is to always follow the laws.

____ I get a wholegrain cereal or a chocolate cereal?

Electric communication ____ mainly known in fish.
The electric signals are ____ in special electric organs.
When the signal is ____ the electric organ will be negatively loaded compared to the head and an electric field is created around the fish.
____ weak electric current is created also in ordinary muscle cells when they contract.
In the electric organ the muscle cells are connected in larger chunks, which makes the total current ____ larger than in ordinary muscles.
The fish varies the signals ____ changing the form of the electric field or the frequency of discharging.
The system ____ only working over small distances, about one to two meters.
This ____ an advantage since the species using the signal system often live in large groups with several other species.
If many fish ____ out signals at the same time, the short range decreases the risk of interference.
Number 39
Creativity can ____ an effect on productivity.
Creativity leads some individuals to ____ problems that others do not see, but which may be very difficult.
Charles Darwin’s ____ to the speciation problem is a good example of this;, he chose a very difficult and tangled problem, speciation, which led him into a long period of data collection and deliberation.

However, the left‑right axis is not ____ relevant in nature.
A bear is ____ dangerous from its left or the right side, but not if it is upside down.
