Best Dairy processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Best Dairy sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $ 870, yields 615 gallons of plain yogurt. The company sells the one-gallon tubs for $ 7.00 each and spends $ 0.14 for each plastic tub. Best Dairy has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Management wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Best Dairy could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 13 comma 120 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Best Dairy would sell each individual portion for $ 0.40. Packaging would cost $ 0.05 per portion, and fruit would cost $ 0.11 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should Best Dairy continue to sell only the gallon-sized plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain yogurt into individual-sized portions of fruited yogurt (process further)? Why?

Sensory adaptation of cutaneous temperature receptors some types of sensory receptors, like pain receptors, will continue to transduce pain until the stimulus is removed. other sensory receptors may respond with an initial burst in production of action potentials, but will “adapt” and over time action potentials will cease. sensory adaptation occurs, for example, with olfactory receptors for smell. procedure have the subject place one hand in an ice bath while simultaneously placing the other hand in a warm water bath (@40oc). the subject should keep their hands in the designated baths for two minutes. after two minutes, remove both hands and place both hands in a room temperature water bath. record your observations review questions 1. describe how each hand felt after taking them out of the designated water baths and placing them into the room temperature water bath. 2. define sensory adaptation and relate it to what happened to the temperature receptors in the subject’s hands. 3. list and describe sensory receptors that adapt, and sensory receptors that do not.

As you sit in the library with your friend studying for your weekly quiz on the integumentary system, you come upon an article about the hazards of prolonged exposure to the sun's rays. your curious nature leads you to research the subject further. you're fascinated to learn that minimal exposure to the sun allows you skin to manufacture vitamin d, which is important to maintain homeostasis. you also read that although sunscreen can protect you from the ultraviolet (uv) rays of the sun, some medications can actually increase a person's sensitivity to the sunlight.
