ton, given the supply curve you have derived, how much would be supplied under the assumption that all plants are profit maximizers? If all plants are profit maximizers, the capacity will be landed at where average variable cost = price, ie, $1,110. From the industry 1993 supply curve, the capacity at 19,412 thousands tpy when variable cost close to $1,110 (to be exact at $1,108.02). 3.

respond to various stakeholders. Considering how many problems over how long of a time Monsanto has made them, they constantly get legislation regarding their product passed in countries, including America, through unethical means. However, the company used the concept of Social Responsibility and Business Ethics to create a reputation value to various stakeholders. For instance, Monsanto gave fifteen million dollars to Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to do crop research in Africa. Also, the fund

exclusively condominiums (Evans, 2014). With the growing numbers of condominiums in a highly populated city, the concern becomes, what ecological impact will it have. With all these new residential buildings going up, it is time to start thinking about, “How can we make residential high-rises more sustainable in Toronto?” in terms of energy conservation and efficiency. If this significant problem is overlooked it could cause serious issues with our city, our ecosystems could be wiped out completely, our

Introduction: For my invasive species I decided to look at the Wild Boar. This animal stood out to me because I have always wanted to go boar hunting and doing more research, I discovered this species is very interesting. The Wild Boar is an animal that grows between 110-200 pounds and is typically brown or black and 1.8-3.6 feet big. This species is native to much of Eurasia, North Africa, and the Greater Sunda Islands. “Wild Boars are an Old World species and are not native to the Americas.” (History)

Solar Cell Jorge Tavarez Strayer University PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND SEMICONDUCTOR-BASED SOLAR CELL 2 Abstract Energy is the capacity to do work and make things happen (Mader, 2009, p. 72). Human or other living things would not be on Earth without the source of energy. In photosynthesis, plant cells harness the sun’s solar energy with carbon dioxide to transform water molecules into oxygen, hydrogen and electrons and a semiconductor-based solar cell harnesses solar

Biology Gene Technology People have been altering the genomes of plants and animals for many years using traditional breeding techniques; this is an artificial selection that organisms that exhibits specific traits are chosen to breed. In recent decades, however, advances in the field of genetic engineering have allowed for precise control over the genetic changes introduced into an organism. (Theresa Phillips, 2008)Today, we can incorporate new genes from one species into a completely unrelated
