As we burn fossil fuels and release carbon dioxide, the temperature of our planet and the oceans will increase. When the oceans warm they will release more carbon dioxide, further warming the planet and oceans.
 
  If this occurs rapidly and causes a sudden rise in temperature, a(n) ________ has been crossed and that the planet has moved into a state of ________. A) input level; equilibrium
  B) input level; disequilibrium
  C) threshold; equilibrium
  D) threshold; disequilibrium

Question 2

  A) Water can hold more heat energy than a comparable volume of rock.
  B) The temperature of water will rise faster than that of land when exposed to the same amount of insolation.
  C) Land surfaces have a higher specific heat than water surfaces.
  D) Land and water have very similar specific heat values.

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).
