Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: An MNC is any corporation that has operations in more than one country. The typical MNC has its headquarters in its home country and other operations in other countries. A company with its home base in the United States and various operations overseas seems nearly correct but fails to take transnational organizationsorgani zations that don't have a home baseinto account. A company that exports goods overseas is incorrect because a company can easily ship overseas without having overseas operations.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: On the most basic level, global organizations exchange with foreign countries. Having executives and top-level managers who are not domestic increases an organization's global profile, while being funded and receiving other resources from nondomestic sources (financial globalization) increases the global profile to an even greater degree. Finally, not all global organizations claim a home country. Transnational organizations integrate operations in several locations without designating one of them as the home base.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
