Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The possibilities can be tested by measuring the density of the universe. If the density is too low the universe expands forever; if too high the universe stops and collapses. Also, measuring the amount by which the rate of past expansion differed from the current rate (by studying redshifts) can reveal the rate at which expansion is slowing and so what will happen.

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).
