Business, Public administration and Policy QUESTION #10531

Question 1424

Marxist structuralist thinkers characteristically argue that:

Individuals have agency to shape their own destinies independently
Capitalists are inherently immoral by personal character
Even well-intentioned capitalists are compelled by systemic logic to exploit their workers✔️
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

Marxist structuralism argues that the capitalist system's structural logic — the need to extract surplus value, compete for market share, and accumulate capital — compels even well-meaning capitalists to exploit labor. It is not about individual moral failing but systemic necessity. This structural determinism challenges liberal individualism, which assumes people freely choose their economic behavior.

Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8137

Question 1429

It can be inferred that the author of the passage about phytoplankton mentions predators primarily in order to:

help explain why Martin's hypothesis is incorrect✔️
identify one effect of adding iron to iron-poor waters
indicate how some carbon dioxide is converted to solid organic matter
help account for differences in phytoplankton density between ocean regions

Correct Answer Logic:

The passage states that when predators consume phytoplankton, carbon is respired back into the atmosphere — undoing the carbon capture. This directly explains why Martin's hypothesis fails: the carbon doesn't stay locked in the ocean food chain. The mention of predators is the mechanism explaining the hypothesis's flaw. Options B, C, and D introduce effects not discussed in the passage in that context.

MBBS QUESTION #10236

Question 1436

Rigor mortis, the stiffening of muscles after death, is best explained physiologically by:

Continued ATP-dependent cross-bridge cycling after death
Depletion of cellular ATP, which is required to detach myosin heads from actin, leaving cross-bridges locked in place✔️
Excessive calcium reuptake into an intact sarcoplasmic reticulum
Loss of troponin function alone, with normal ATP levels

Correct Answer Logic:

ATP is required not for cross-bridge formation but for detaching myosin from actin, allowing the cycle to reset. After death, ATP stores are depleted and calcium leaks uncontrolled into the sarcoplasm, allowing cross-bridges to form but never releasing — producing the sustained, irreversible-until-decomposition stiffness of rigor mortis.
