According to this model‚ there are several simplifying assumptions must be made‚ which are: Goal of business firms is to maximize profit Two goods produce There are only two factors of production (capital and labour) to produce its product.

Illustrate the effect of each of these proposed policies in a demand and supply diagram of the gun market. For each question‚ show the price paid by consumers‚ the price received by producers‚ and the quantity of guns sold.

Surface area / Volume ratio Experiment Introduction: The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the cell quickly and allow waste to diffuse out of the cell quickly. If the cells were any bigger than this then it would take too long for the nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into

prokaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are usually unicellular‚ while eukaryotic cells can either exist as a single celled organism or be found in multicellular organisms. The unicellular and multicellular organisms are linked to cell size and surface area to volume ratio. The experiment for cell size and diffusion was set to see how and how much water can go to the cells. This movement of water is called Osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of low concentration (lots of water) to
