1. Would a saturated fatty acid hold more potential energy or less potential energy than an unsaturated fatty acid? Why? Be sure to frame your answer in terms of the redox state of the carbon atoms within each molecule. 2. Photosynthesis utilizes light energy in order to synthesize glucose molecules from carbon dioxide. Describe the process by which cells capitalize on the energy carried by photons to do work. 3. Some proteins have unstructured domains. This seems counterintuitive given the...

Wave forms and Wave Energy Kinetic energy is often the release of potential energy is a sudden burst. Waves are repeated occurrences of an event that may or may not follow a set pattern. Sometimes this burst can be controlled, and sometimes it is so large, new language was created to compare it to other energy releases. There are also situations where the terminology could is used interchangeably with another term or phrase. And to confuse the issue more, there...

An atom is in a time independent one-dimensional potential well. The system's spatial wave function at t=0 is Ψ(x,0) = Ax(a-x) for 0<x<a and zero for all other x. (a) The system's energy is measured at t=0. What is the most likely outcome? Find the probability for obtaining this result. (b) What is the systems's average energy at t=0? Compare it with the energy in (a) and explain your answer.

TRUE OR FALSE a) If output is less than potential output, unemployment will encourage workers to...

TRUE OR FALSE a) If output is less than potential output, unemployment will encourage workers to accept smaller raises, which brings inflation below expected inflation. Eventually, expected inflation will fall, which allows firms to lower the inflation rate. As the real money supply rises, investment and output rise. The process continues until the economy is in medium-run equilibrium. b) It is easier to stabilize the economy if expectations remain anchored. c)It is easier for central banks to stabilize the economy...

Suppose the economy is in a recession (and actual GDP is less than potential GDP). What fiscal policy actions that could be taken? On the other hand, suppose the economy is experiencing high levels of inflation (and actual GDP is higher than potential GDP)… what fiscal policy actions could be taken? Is it optimal for both the Federal Reserve and the Government to take actions at the same time to “influence” and improve economic conditions? Why or why not?
