Answer to Question 1

The most likely trigger for the Huronian glaciation was the decrease in CH4 that resulted from the rise of O2. The increased O2 concentrations would have eliminated much of the CH4 present in the atmosphere, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect.

Answer to Question 2

Tillites, glacial striations, dropstones, and 18O excursions are evidence of glaciations mentioned in the book.

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).
