Segundo matéria da rede de rádio e televisão BBC,
chimpanzés na África Ocidental desenvolveram técnicas
sofisticadas para quebrar nozes, usando pedras como martelos e
bigornas. Esse comportamento, transmitido entre gerações,
reforça a complexidade cognitiva e a capacidade de aprendizado
social nesses primatas.

Biologia
A Biologia, enquanto ciência, evoluiu através da interação
entre avanços metodológicos, técnicas inovadoras e reformulações
teóricas. Considerando esse contexto, analise as seguintes
afirmações.
I. O uso de técnicas de cristalografia de raios-X por Rosalind Franklin foi fundamental para a elucidação da estrutura do DNA em 1953, mas seu trabalho só foi amplamente reconhecido postumamente, refletindo desafios éticos e de gênero na prática científica do século XX.
II. O experimento de Louis Pasteur com frascos de pescoço de cisne, no século XIX, refutou a abiogênese e introduziu o conceito de controle experimental, estabelecendo padrões metodológicos para a microbiologia moderna.
III. A teoria da geração espontânea, defendida por Aristóteles, foi refutada por Redi no século XVII, que demonstrou a origem de microrganismos a partir da matéria inanimada, dispensando contribuições posteriores.
IV. O desenvolvimento do microscópio eletrônico, na década de 1930, permitiu a visualização de vírus e de organelas celulares, revolucionando áreas como a virologia e a biologia celular, mas trouxe limitações, como a impossibilidade de observar processos dinâmicos em células vivas.
Estão corretas as afirmativas

Here’s One More Reason to Try to Exercise
Next time you’re feeling the burn during a workout, it might
give you a boost to know that exercise can also be a balm: Research
suggests it is one of the best tools for fighting chronic
inflammation.
Inflammation has emerged as a looming health concern in
recent years — experts say it can be both a cause and a sign of
disease. And while there’s still a lot we don’t know about its
significance, most experts agree that the less chronically inflamed
we are, the healthier we are.
The scientific evidence is also clear that people who are
sedentary tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared to
people who exercise regularly. And when sedentary people start
moving consistently, their inflammation levels generally decline.
Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight
inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so
effective at protecting us against cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
dementia and other chronic diseases.
The growing understanding that exercise and inflammation
are linked has been relatively recent, and this has spurred a boom
of research into the connection, said Dr. Robert Shmerling, a rheumatologist and a medical editor at Harvard Health Publishing.
Here’s what we know — and what it means for you.
While inflammation may seem like a menace, it serves a
vital function in keeping you healthy. For example, after a paper cut
or an ankle sprain, immune cells flood the area, which causes the
surrounding tissue to swell and turn red — this kind of acute
inflammation usually resolves in a few days. A similar process
happens when you get an infection, like a cold or the flu.
But chronic inflammation is a low-grade condition that can
simmer for years. It can begin with an infection or injury, but then
morph into a lingering state, in which the immune system starts
attacking healthy tissue, Dr. Shmerling said. Chronic inflammation
can also be linked to diet, stress, smoking, obesity, sleep quality
and your level of physical activity. And it increases as you age (a
process that researchers call “inflammaging”).
Experts suspect this prolonged immune response may put
you at greater risk for disease, and in some cases, make you feel
fatigued, depressed or foggy. A doctor can usually detect chronic
inflammation through blood tests that measure specific chemicals,
or biomarkers, released by your immune system.
Research suggests that consistent, moderate exercise can
fight inflammation by tamping down on the release of
inflammatory chemicals, and ramping up the release of chemicals
that fight it. Exercise can also lower inflammation indirectly, for
example, by improving sleep quality and lowering stress.
For people who are sedentary, exercise is especially
effective at counteracting inflammation, experts said. Certain kinds
of fat cells have been shown to release chemicals into the blood
that cause low-grade inflammation. When someone who has been
sedentary starts working out consistently, not only does their fat
tissue often shrink, but studies also suggest that the physical
activity might alter their fat cells so they produce fewer
inflammatory substances, Dr. Shmerling said.
Regardless, there’s no downside to someone taking up
exercise, Dr. Shmerling added. “They may get healthier in a hurry,
and it might have nothing to do with inflammation,” he said. “The
outcome is still a positive one.”
While research hasn’t yet given us a prescription for exactly
what kind and how much exercise is most effective for fighting
inflammation, experts share tips for making the most of exercise’s
potential impact on it.
Most moderate-intensity exercise seems to reduce
inflammation in the short term, and the more consistently you
work out, the more you keep chronic inflammation at bay, said Suzi
Hong, a professor at the University of California San Diego’s School
of Public Health. Dr. Hong and her team found that a single,
moderate, 20-minute treadmill workout, such as a brisk walk or jog,
sparked a temporary anti-inflammatory response. If you’re
breathing harder than usual to keep up the pace, and you feel like
you’re putting in moderate effort, she said, you’re probably fighting
inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a
habit.
For starters, resistance training helps to reduce
inflammation-causing fat cells, particularly when combined with
regular aerobic exercise. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less
inflammation, so strength training may be especially important for
them to remain mobile and independent. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommend that adults make time for at
least two strength-training sessions per week.
Chronic stress is another contributor to inflammation, so
finding a workout you enjoy may offer greater anti-inflammatory
benefits by helping to relieve stress. If you’re looking for a place to
start, a large body of research suggests that yoga can help to calm
the nervous system, lower inflammatory markers and lessen
symptoms of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Avoid
overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate
recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken
your immune system.
As with many other aspects of health, moderation and
consistency are keys to getting and staying fit — and to fighting
inflammation for the long haul.

inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a
habit.
For starters, resistance training helps to reduce
inflammation-causing fat cells, particularly when combined with
regular aerobic exercise. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less
inflammation, so strength training may be especially important for
them to remain mobile and independent. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommend that adults make time for at
least two strength-training sessions per week.
Chronic stress is another contributor to inflammation, so
finding a workout you enjoy may offer greater anti-inflammatory
benefits by helping to relieve stress. If you’re looking for a place to
start, a large body of research suggests that yoga can help to calm
the nervous system, lower inflammatory markers and lessen
symptoms of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Avoid
overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate
recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken
your immune system.
As with many other aspects of health, moderation and
consistency are keys to getting and staying fit — and to fighting
inflammation for the long haul.

Here’s One More Reason to Try to Exercise
Next time you’re feeling the burn during a workout, it might
give you a boost to know that exercise can also be a balm: Research
suggests it is one of the best tools for fighting chronic
inflammation.
Inflammation has emerged as a looming health concern in
recent years — experts say it can be both a cause and a sign of
disease. And while there’s still a lot we don’t know about its
significance, most experts agree that the less chronically inflamed
we are, the healthier we are.
The scientific evidence is also clear that people who are
sedentary tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared to
people who exercise regularly. And when sedentary people start
moving consistently, their inflammation levels generally decline.
Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight
inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so
effective at protecting us against cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
dementia and other chronic diseases.
The growing understanding that exercise and inflammation
are linked has been relatively recent, and this has spurred a boom
of research into the connection, said Dr. Robert Shmerling, a rheumatologist and a medical editor at Harvard Health Publishing.
Here’s what we know — and what it means for you.
While inflammation may seem like a menace, it serves a
vital function in keeping you healthy. For example, after a paper cut
or an ankle sprain, immune cells flood the area, which causes the
surrounding tissue to swell and turn red — this kind of acute
inflammation usually resolves in a few days. A similar process
happens when you get an infection, like a cold or the flu.
But chronic inflammation is a low-grade condition that can
simmer for years. It can begin with an infection or injury, but then
morph into a lingering state, in which the immune system starts
attacking healthy tissue, Dr. Shmerling said. Chronic inflammation
can also be linked to diet, stress, smoking, obesity, sleep quality
and your level of physical activity. And it increases as you age (a
process that researchers call “inflammaging”).
Experts suspect this prolonged immune response may put
you at greater risk for disease, and in some cases, make you feel
fatigued, depressed or foggy. A doctor can usually detect chronic
inflammation through blood tests that measure specific chemicals,
or biomarkers, released by your immune system.
Research suggests that consistent, moderate exercise can
fight inflammation by tamping down on the release of
inflammatory chemicals, and ramping up the release of chemicals
that fight it. Exercise can also lower inflammation indirectly, for
example, by improving sleep quality and lowering stress.
For people who are sedentary, exercise is especially
effective at counteracting inflammation, experts said. Certain kinds
of fat cells have been shown to release chemicals into the blood
that cause low-grade inflammation. When someone who has been
sedentary starts working out consistently, not only does their fat
tissue often shrink, but studies also suggest that the physical
activity might alter their fat cells so they produce fewer
inflammatory substances, Dr. Shmerling said.
Regardless, there’s no downside to someone taking up
exercise, Dr. Shmerling added. “They may get healthier in a hurry,
and it might have nothing to do with inflammation,” he said. “The
outcome is still a positive one.”
While research hasn’t yet given us a prescription for exactly
what kind and how much exercise is most effective for fighting
inflammation, experts share tips for making the most of exercise’s
potential impact on it.
Most moderate-intensity exercise seems to reduce
inflammation in the short term, and the more consistently you
work out, the more you keep chronic inflammation at bay, said Suzi
Hong, a professor at the University of California San Diego’s School
of Public Health. Dr. Hong and her team found that a single,
moderate, 20-minute treadmill workout, such as a brisk walk or jog,
sparked a temporary anti-inflammatory response. If you’re
breathing harder than usual to keep up the pace, and you feel like
you’re putting in moderate effort, she said, you’re probably fighting
inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a

Geografia
A Questão da Terra no Brasil significa o combate à pobreza no
campo; a diminuição das migrações das zonas rurais para os
centros urbanos, evitando assim o “inchaço” populacional e a
criação de favelas ou áreas de ocupação irregular nas cidades; a
fixação dos pequenos agricultores no meio rural com a
manutenção de suas subsistências por meio de políticas públicas e
o incentivo à agricultura familiar, responsável pela renda da
maioria das famílias campesinas no país. Contudo, existem
atualmente muitas famílias pobres no campo sem acesso à terra e
pequenos agricultores sem acesso à assistência técnica e ao
crédito. De acordo com o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra
(MST), em 2024, eram 71 mil famílias acampadas na busca de
assentamentos e, segundo a Confederação Nacional dos
Trabalhadores na Agricultura (CONTAG), existem cerca de 50 mil
famílias no país aguardando a inclusão no Programa Nacional de
Reforma Agrária (PNRA).

Sociologia
Para Ianni (2011), a Sociologia nasce e se desenvolve com o
mundo moderno refletindo as suas principais épocas e
transformações. Essa ciência do social surge como a crônica da
modernidade e desvenda seus dilemas fundamentais, contribuindo
para identificar, explicar e compreender as mudanças sociais que
resultaram, por exemplo, nas diferenciações entre as sociedades
tradicionais e as dos tempos modernos. As sociedades pré-modernas eram centradas e constituídas na economia campesina,
no predomínio do pensamento religioso e com ênfase na vida
comunitária, e não nos indivíduos, propriamente. As sociedades
modernas, de outro modo, surgem com o advento da economia
capitalista-industrial, a urbanização das cidades, o predomínio do
pensamento burocrático-científico e a ênfase na individualização
da vida em sociedade.
