Answer to Question 1

Answer: After chemical and mechanical weathering break down rock, water picks it up and carries it away (erosion) in the stream current. When the stream current decreases speed, it can no longer carry the heavier material, so it drops its load (deposition).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Sial is less dense than sima, and the continents lie at a higher elevation as a result.

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).
