which of the following statements about sleep is false?
teenagers need about nine and a quarter hours of sleep and their biological clocks prompt them to stay up later and not be ready to awaken until 8:00 or 9:00 a.m.
research indicates that teens who get the most sleep tend to get as and bs while those who get the least sleep get cs and ds.
during sleep, memories are consolidated and both memory and learning are reinforced.
animal predators get the least sleep of mammals because they hunt during the night.

Explanation:

• Teenagers do need about nine - and - a - quarter hours of sleep and their biological clocks shift (stay up later, wake later).
• There is a correlation between sleep and academic performance (more sleep, better grades).
• Sleep is important for memory consolidation and learning reinforcement.
• Animal prey (not predators) generally get less sleep as they are more at risk of being attacked, while many predators can afford to sleep more as they are less vulnerable during sleep.

Answer:

Animal predators get the least sleep of mammals because they hunt during the night.
