Answer to Question 1

Point absorber units move by wave action with respect to a fixed submerged reference. The motion can be used to drive a hydraulic motor and generator to create electricity. Because they are axially symmetrical, point absorbers can work with waves moving in any direction.

Answer to Question 2

The difference is in the size of the generator. A microhydroelectric system produces less than100 kilowatts (kW) of electricity. A picohydroelectric system has a generator that is smaller than 5kW.

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).
