Why do we expect the cosmic background radiation to be almost, but not quite, the same in all directions?
 
  A) The overall structure of the universe is very uniform, but the universe must have contained some regions of higher density in order for galaxies to form.
  B) The temperature of the universe can be found by taking an average over the entire sky, but individual stars will create peaks in the spectrum over small angles.
  C) Dark matter consisting of WIMPs greatly smooths out the spectrum, but the small patches of light matter create peaks in the spectrum.
  D) The overall structure of the universe is very uniform, but the synthesis of different elements produces varying signatures within the background spectrum.
  E) The overall structure of the universe is very uniform, but intervening gas between us and the era of nuclei absorbs wavelengths depending on the composition and redshift of the gas.

Question 2

What was one of the first observations that hinted at limitations in Newton's theory of gravity?
 
  A) deviations in the motion of the planet Uranus in the sky
  B) deviations in the motion of the planet Mercury in the sky
  C) shifts in position of stars close to the Sun during solar eclipses
  D) failure to explain why all objects fall at the same rate in a gravitational field

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).
