25. In a rare biological example of positive feedback, an increase in ethylene production triggers more ethylene production. Explain how this effect, and the fact that ethylene is a gas, could help to coordinate the timing of the ripening process on a plant.
26. It is imperative that grocery stores have ripe fruit at the store for consumers to buy, but it is easier to transport produce in an unripened state. Explain how the commercial use of ethylene might help to solve this dilemma.

Assume that there is no policy response to the increased saving by American families and consider the transition from the short-run to the medium-run (the medium-run is some intermediary or a transition state between the short-run and the long-run) and back to the long run. True or False. The US will see increased inflation during the transition back to long-run equilibrium. If true, explain why. If false, explain why not. (use the IS-LM and AS-AD logic to answer)

A businessman moves from Thailand to pursue a job opportunity in the US. His diet changes from one high in local raw fruits and vegetables to mainly canned and frozen vegetables. The fresh produce he does buy typically ships from overseas and since it doesn't taste good to him, he tends to avoid it. Over the course of his first year, the man experiences worsening fatigue, headaches, depression and gastrointestinal discomfort, despite taking mineral supplements and making sure to stay hydrated. After about a year he meets with a nutritionist who advises him to consume more raw produce from farmer's markets; this intervention does alleviate his symptoms.
Use your knowledge from this course and the information provided to address the following:
a) What specifically about the man's dietary change likely caused his initial symptoms and why was the nutritionist's recommendation effective?
b) Why do you think the nutritionist suggested he get his produce from local farmer's markets rather than a grocery store?
c) If the man were to move somewhere with little access to fruits and vegetables, what else could the nutritionist have suggested that would have been effective and why?
NOTE: For full credit you must apply your knowledge. Just restating the information provided is not sufficient. ie. saying "he changed his diet to eat raw vegetables" is just restating the information - explain, use your knowledge and provide your logic.
