Answer to Question 1

Obesity strains the heart, forcing it to pump blood through the many additional miles of blood vessels that supply body fat. Over time, this strain can weaken and damage the heart. Moreover, moderate and vigorous exercise is more difficult for people who are obese, but exercise benefits the cardiovascular system by, for example, helping to control blood pressure and reduce stress, and by increasing HDL and reducing triglycerides. Finally, obesity is a primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes, which in turn increases the risk of CVD.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

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).

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
