Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Because when we combine the equations for carbonate weathering for CaCO3 and precipitation to determine the net effects of these processes on the chemistry of the oceans and on the composition of the atmosphere, we have got no net removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The net effect of CaCO3 weathering on land and CaCO3 precipitation in the ocean is zero, because the two processes balance each other:

Carbonate weathering:
CaCO3 + H2CO3  Ca2+ +2HCO3 -

Carbonate precipitation:
Ca2+ +2HCO3 -  CaCO3 + H2CO3

Net result: 0

The weathering equation is the reverse of the precipitation equation.

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.
