Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Hubble's constant tells us how fast the universe is expanding today but the fate of the universe (whether it will expand forever or whether the expansion will eventually reverse) depends also on the gravitational pull of all the matter in the universe. Thus to learn about the fate of the universe we must measure not only how fast it is expanding but also how much matter it contains. Hubble's constant changes over time.

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).
