Study Notes
Mixed Occupancy Tax
- Mixed Occupancy Tax is a combination of variable and fixed costs
- Variable costs increase as the number of rooms increases
- Fixed costs are constant, regardless of how many rooms are occupied
- All costs are measured in dollars
- The number of rooms is on the horizontal axis (x-axis)
- The Mixed Occupancy Tax is on the vertical axis (y-axis)
- Variable costs are represented by a diagonal line with a less steep slope than the line representing mixed costs
- Mixed costs are represented by a diagonal line
- Fixed costs are represented by a horizontal line
GABA Receptor Mechanism
- GABA receptors are protein complexes on neurons that are responsible for mediating the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter responsible for inhibition in the nervous system.
- The GABA receptor complex consists of multiple subunits, each with a binding site for GABA and other ligands, such as benzodiazepines (BZD).
- Binding of GABA to its site on the receptor causes a conformational change, leading to the opening of an ion channel that allows chloride ions (Cl-) to flow into the cell.
- The influx of chloride ions hyperpolarizes the postsynaptic neuron, making it less likely to fire an action potential.
- Benzodiazepines (BZDs) bind to a separate site on the receptor, enhancing the effects of GABA by increasing the frequency of channel openings, leading to greater chloride ion influx.
- Other ligands can bind to various sites on the GABA receptor complex, modulating its activity, including barbiturates, avermectins, and DDT.
- These ligands can have diverse effects on the GABA receptor, ranging from enhanced inhibition to antagonism.
- The diagram provides a simplified view of the complex interactions between GABA, BZD, and other ligands with the GABA receptor complex.
