Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H30+). But recent research has revealed a role for some aquaporins in fat metabolism, in which they allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.11), as well as H20. Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y

Urban Economics 8
Consider a manufacturing firm that occupies two hectares of land. The firm produces 10 tons of output per day and sells its output at a price of $80 per ton. The firm does not engage in factor substitution as the price of land changes. Intraurban transportation is on trucks, with a unit cost of $12 p
