In discussion, we analyzed the initial and final states of a toy model of photosynthesis: the reaction co2 + h2o ↔ h2co + o2.

the binding of the carbon in the organic molecule (formaldehyde) has effectively traded a strong c=o double bond for a weaker o=o double bond, so the reaction is endothermic from left to right. (the right side has a higher chemical energy so you have to put energy in to get there.)

although that tells the overall result, the actual mechanism of photosynthesis is more complicated. discovering how this works is one of the great stories of figuring out what is happening in a complex biological process.

The second largest public utility in the nation is the sole provider of electricity in 32 counties of southern florida. to meet the monthly demand for electricity in these counties, which is given by the inverse demand function p = 1,200 – 4q, the utility company has set up two electric generating facilities: q1 kilowatts are produced at facility 1, and q2 kilowatts are produced at facility 2 (so q = q1 + q2). the costs of producing electricity at each facility are given by c1(q1) = 8,000 + 6q12 and c2(q2) = 6,000 + 3q22, respectively. determine the profit-maximizing amounts of electricity to produce at the two facilities, the optimal price, and the utility company’s profit
