Answer:
American's portion sizes have become larger in the last decade due to the expanding of food industries and marketing campaigns that tell us to eat more.
Explanation:
The growth of food industries in the last decades to obtain more money in combination with the media influence has led us to eat more, thus why the size of our portions has increased their size.
Another theory states that people always want to eat more, and the industry has only fulfilled this demand, but it is not clear why, in the past, this did not happen.

Solar Energy:
Of all of the solar technologies, solar thermal systems are by far the most straightforward and the best developed. Architectural Designs are being developed to conserve solar energy by taking advantage of the site and building materials which in turn transform a building into a solar collector. There are many mechanical moving parts within an active solar thermal system.
The makeup of Solar Energy Systems and how solar panels work is best described as follows:
The solar collector (basic unit) is a panel generally made from aluminium, glass, plastic and copper. These panels when fixed to a roof absorb direct sunlight and transfer heat to a fluid that passes through the collector or basic unit. This fluid then flows through pipes into the building where it then heats water or warms the rooms.
Sunlight is converted into electricity by Photovoltaics (solar cells). These solar cells produce an electromotive force in a material as a result of its absorbing ionizing radiation.
In the case of semi-conductors, significant conversion efficiencies have been achieved however in theory this effect is also apparent in solids, liquids and gases. The most commonly used component of the solar semi-conductors is Silicon.
There are a range of different solar power systems currently available. These are
Grid connect solarStand-alone or off-grid solar systemsHybrid solar systemsPortable solar power systemsSolar batteries
More information can be found about these types of systems here.
The usefulness of these Solar Cells in the Space Exploration Program has already been proven in India as well as other countries in the world. The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Bombay, have successfully developed Solar Cells which have been tested in the satellite Bhaskara and which also meet part of the power requirement abroad (Gupta, 1981). The likeliness for large-scale power generation to meet energy requirements on earth is even bigger.
Geothermal Energy:
Geothermal Energy is a clean and sustainable power source that comes from heat in the centre of the earth.
Hot molten rock called magma deep inside the earth’s surface has in some places pushed up towards the earth’s crust, resulting in the range of geothermal energy resources to be expanded.
Geysers are produced when water flows over these hot rocks causing steam to rise through crevices in the earth’s crust, which can then be converted into electricity.
There are three types of geothermal energy technologies:
Geothermal Electricity Production: using the earth’s heat to generate electricity.
Geothermal Direct Use: using hot water within the earth to produce heat directly.
Geothermal Heat Pumps: heating and cooling buildings using the shallow ground.
It has only recently become evident that Australia has potential for geothermal energy production, because of the perception that the resources were only found in locations that have active volcanism (which Australia doesn’t have).
However, it has been uncovered that Australia is home to suitable hot sedimentary aquifer and hot rock resources.Two projects are under development in Australia to utilise these resources, and they are hot sedimentary aquifers (HSA), and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS or hot rocks).
The correct order is:
- Action potential arrives at the axon terminal.
- Calcium ions enter the axon terminal.
- Synaptic vesicles fuse to membrane of axon terminal.
- Acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft.
- Acetylcholine binds to its receptors on the junctional folds.
- Junctional folds become depolarized.
- Action potential is initiated on the sarcolemma.
Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell).
