Answer to Question 1

Land and sea breezes are caused by the differential heating of water and land. During the day, the land heats up much faster than the water, creating a relatively low pressure area. As a result, winds blow from the higher pressure area over the water to the land. During the night, land cools off quicker than water, forming a high pressure area over land. As a result, air moves from land to water. Similarly, during the day, valley slopes heat faster than the valley floor. As a result, air moves from the high pressure valley floor to the lower pressure valley slopes. At night, the slopes cool quicker, forming a high pressure zone. As a result, air moves from the slopes to the valley floor.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

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).

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.
