Answer to Question 1

A passive tracker loses an hour or so in the morning, while it resets from the previous day. An active tracker does not lose this time.

Answer to Question 2

The latitude determines the sun's path; at the equator, the collector will ideally be horizontal when the sun is at the equinox. At latitudes further from the equator, the angle must be tilted to orient the collector toward the sun.

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).
