1. Consider the cyanobacteria Anabaena. Individual cells grow attached to each other in long chains. Most perform photosynthesis, using photosystems I and II to generate ATP and NADPH that they use to power the fixation of carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle. However, a small number form heterocysts, cell that instead of performing photosynthesis, fix nitrogen into ammonium. Heterocyts share their nitrogen compounds with their photosynthetic neighbors, who in turn share sugars with the heterocysts.

a)If you extracted all the RNA from a single heterocyst, and all the RNA from single photosynthetic cell, what information would this give you?

b)Would you find RNA that is the same between the two cell types? If yes suggest three examples.

c)Would you find RNA that is different between these two cell types? If yes, suggest three examples.

Populism is a development that has exponentially been growing. Yet, globally there is much criticism of populist leaders. In preparation for this discussion, take a look at the concept of populism and Google it. Also, Google a couple of global leaders who are identified as populist.

Now, armed with that information, particularly in the midst of the critiques of democracy being taken away from the people by populist leaders, how do you think the concept of groupthink plays out in our society and how do you believe that trend towards groupthink can that trend be reversed?

Last, but not least, how do you believe groupthink will play into how the world navigates through this pandemic that is impacting people on a global basis? Can groupthink be a positive or a negative construct as we move through these times? How can groupthink contribute to the individual and collective stress of people?

2. Your text talks about free trade areas, customs unions and common markets. It also discusses basic principles of the WTO, including trade should not be discriminatory and should head in the direction of fewer rather than more barriers. And finally it discusses the welfare impacts of tariffs and other trade barriers on a country, including consumers, producers and government. Suppose three countries US ($8), Mexico ($6) and China ($4) make a good at the prices in parenthesis. Now consider the following alternative scenarios:  Scenario 1: The current tariff rate is $5 a. If there are no free trade arrangements, from which country’s producers will US consumers buy the product? (1 point) b. If we now signed NAFTA, from which country’s producers will US consumers buy the product? (1 point) c. Are US consumers and the country as a whole better off or worse off with NAFTA and why? (1 point)  Scenario 2: The current tariff rate is $3 d. If there are no free trade agreements, from which country’s producers will US consumers buy the product? (1 point) e. If we now signed NAFTA, from which country’s producers will US consumers buy the product? (1 point) f. Are US consumers and the country as a whole better off or worse off with NAFTA and why? (1 points) g. What is the difference in the two scenarios? What does that tell you about the impact of free trade agreements? (2 points)
