Answer:
Emily's opportunity cost of producing 1 milkshake is 1 ice cream sundae.
Ben's opportunity cost of producing 1 milkshake is 0.5 ice cream sundae.
Explanation:
Both Emily and Ben own an ice cream parlor.
In an hour Emily can produce 40 milkshakes or 40 ice cream sundaes.
Emily's opportunity cost of producing a milkshake is
=
=
= 1 ice cream sundae
In an hour Ben can produce 20 milkshakes or 10 ice cream sundaes.
Ben's opportunity cost of producing a milkshake is
=
=
= 0.5 ice cream sundae
We see that Ben has a lower opportunity cost of producing milkshake, so we can say that he has a comparative advantage in producing milkshake.
It looks like the item that you posted has missing information but I'd like to answer this statement. Civil disobedience is a non-violent, public refusal to obey allegedly unjust laws. Examples of civil disobedience are Salt March, Extramadura Campaign, Flying pickets and sit-ins, dismantling unwanted enterprises, and poll tax non-payment.
Answer:
1. Yes. The colonists who called for independence have good reasons for doing so
2. I would have supported independence from Great Britain.
Explanation:
The colonists did not out of nowhere demand for independence. It was as a result of what was happening during the period (1764 to 1776). Most specifically following the aftermath of the French and Indian War. The war which was fought between Great Britain together with their American colonist's subjects against the French and their Native Indians allies in 1754 to 1763 led to Great Britain gaining more territories in North America.
However, this war led to Great Britain acquiring huge debts. To pay the debts, the King and English parliaments believed since the war was fought on American soil, the American colonists should pay for it. This led to the imposition of huge and unreasonable taxes on the colonists. These taxes include the Stamp Act in 1765, following the earlier imposed Sugar Act in 1764, the Currency Act in 1764, and the Quartering Act in 1765.
The American colonists felt these taxes are huge for them without any avenue to negotiate or determine the rate at which the tax should be imposed on them. Also, they felt the tax was a British means to crippled them economically and override them. So they demand representation if they were to continue to pay taxes. By this, they had hoped they would be able to negotiate or determine the rate to pay. When this agitation was not successful, they result in agitation for independence and nationalism. Hence, this was a tenable reason to demand independence and have a chance to determine how they want to be ruled.
On this note, as a colonist, the best decision is to advocate for independence. Because not only as a colonist we will be able to rule over ourselves against the tyrannical rule of the British King and parliaments. But also to put the fate of colonists in our own hands rather than external power.
Answer:
The steps in the production of thyroid hormone in the order in which they occur is: 1, 2, 4, 5, 3.
Explanation:
The thyroid gland is an organ located anterior to the trachea and inferior to the larynx. The tissue of the thyroid gland is composed of thyroid follicles, which are made up of a central cavity filled with a sticky fluid called colloid. The colloid is surrounded by a wall of epithelial follicle cells and it is the center of thyroid hormone production. The process of thyroid hormone production is dependent on iodine.
The following steps outline the processes involved in thyroid hormone production:
- The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) binds to its receptor in the follicle cells of the thyroid gland, which causes the cells to actively transport iodide ions across their cell membrane, from the bloodstream into the cytosol. making the concentration of iodide ions in the follicular cells higher than that in the bloodstream.
- Iodide ions move to the lumen of the follicular cells that border the colloid. Thereafter, the ions undergo oxidation, which means that their negative charge is removed. The oxidation of two iodide ions results in iodine, which passes through the follicle cell membrane into the colloid.
- In the colloid, peroxidase enzymes link the iodine to tyrosine in thyroglobulin to produce two intermediates: a tyrosine attached to one iodine and a tyrosine attached to two iodines.
- When a tyrosine attached to one iodine is linked by covalent bonds to a tyrosine attached to two iodines, the resulting compound is a triiodothyronine (T3) which is a thyroid hormone with three iodines. When two tyrosines attached to two iodines are covalently bonded, they form a tetraiodothyronine, also known as thyroxine (T4) a thyrroid hormone with four iodines
- These hormones remain in the colloid center of the thyroid follicles until TSH stimulates endocytosis of colloid back into the follicular cells, where the hormones are then stored.
