  A) William Herschel.
  B) Henrietta Leavitt.
  C) Harlow Shapley.
  D) Heber Curtiss.
  E) Edwin Hubble.

Question 2

Hubble's constant is related to the age of the universe, but the precise relationship depends on the way in which the expansion rate changes with time.
 
  For a given value of Hubble's constant today (such as 24 km/s/Mly), the age of the universe is oldest if what is true? A) The expansion rate has remained nearly constant with time (a coasting universe).
  B) The expansion rate has slowed by the amount expected for a universe with the critical density (a critical universe).
  C) The expansion rate has been increasing with time (an accelerating universe).
  D) The expansion rate is slowing dramatically with time (a recollapsing universe).

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).
