Answer to Question 1

Answer: With the random search (or generate and test) heuristic, the problem solver picks moves and evaluates the outcome on a trial and error basis. With the hill climbing heuristic, she looks one step ahead and picks the move that most closely resembles the goal state. With means-ends analysis, the problem is broken down into subproblems until a solution to the subproblem is found.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Structure mapping theory (SMT) has two stages. In the first stage, long-term memory is searched for potential sources that have features similar to the target. This is a relatively broad search based on surface features. In the second stage, the matches between the source and target found from the first stage are evaluated for structural similarities.

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).

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
