Congenital Galactosemia typically appears only in infants
because with maturation, most children develop another enzyme
capable of metabolizing galactose. Its incidence is about 1 per
18,000 births. If the infant does not receive treatment then there
is a 75% chance of death. Thus, in the United States infants are
screened for galactosemia. Galactosemia can be confused with
lactose intolerance but galactosemia is a considerably more serious
condition because consumption of galactose can cause
permanent damage to their bodies. What
dietary changes should be made?

Consider a four-year project with the following information: initial fixed asset investment = $600,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $46; variable costs = $36; fixed costs = $275,000; quantity sold = 106,000 units; tax rate = 23 percent.
How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

3. In the first unit of this module, we discussed the neural basis for learning and memory. a. Describe the process of LTP. Be detailed in your response. b. Whereas LTP is an increase in the effectiveness of synapses, LTD is a process by which specific sets of synapses are selectively weakened. Calcium is involved in both LTP and LTD. Explain how different concentrations of calcium would lead to LTP vs. LTD. Be specific in your response, including the enzymes activated by calcium and the downstream changes to the number of receptors embedded in the postsynaptic membrane
