In Section 9.8, we discussed the path of an object that is dropped from a very tall stepladder above the equator. (a) Sketch this path as seen from a tower to the north of the drop and fixed to the earth. Explain why the object lands to the east of its point of release. (b) Sketch the same experiment

Epinephrine initiates a signal transduction pathway that involves production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and leads to the breakdown of glycogen to glucose, a major energy source for cells. But glycogen breakdown is actually only part of the fight-or- flight response that epinephrine brings about; the overal
