mtr: tryptophan-specific transport protein – transports tryptophan into the cell

trpA: tryptophan synthase, a protein – synthesizes tryptophan from its basic components

cusF: Periplasmic copper binding protein – binds copper ions

tnaA: Tryptophanase – enzyme for tryptophan catabolism

trpB: Tryptophan synthase, b protein – synthesizes tryptophan

Q. If tryptophan caused the expression level to change, explain why these changes occur for each gene (that is, how does the presence of tryptophan in the media influence expression of the gene...you should be able to infer this based on each gene’s known function).

We are looking at the market for gasoline in the United States, this week. Begin with the market in equilibrium. A report is released that we should expect the price of gasoline to rise in the near future, with up to a 50-cent increase sometime next week. Assume that we all have access to this information. Graph the changes and answer the following questions:

How do the unhappy participants react?

Question options:

For the money demand function, we assumed that money demand depends on income and interest rate. Consider an economy where money demand does not depend on income and is only a function of interest rate.

M^d = L(i)

Suppose that the economy is open and on a flexible exchange rate:

(a) Draw the money demand and supply curves with money demand and supply on x-axis and interest rate on y-axis.

(b) Show what happens to money demand and supply curves if income changes.

(c) Derive the LM curve.

(d) Derive the AD curve.

1. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS

a. Graph a nation that is exporting a good to a trading partner. Who benefits from the domestic nation exporting to a trading partner?

b. On the graph, Identify the amount of good exported, identify the change in domestic consumption and the change in domestic production caused by exporting that good.

c. In a separate graph, show a nation importing a good from a trading partner. Who benefits from the domestic nation importing from a trading partner?

d. On the graph, identify the total amount of the good imported, the changes in domestic consumption and production as caused by the imports
