An image of the protein complex from Question #7 is shown below.   The portion labeled A represents the subunit. The portion labeled B represents the subunit. The domain ensures that the protein is embedded in the viral envelope. The domain is required for attachment of the virus to the host receptor.  This domain is located in the subunit. The domain embeds itself in the host membrane when exposed to the aqueous environment.  This domain is located in the subunit.   *Note: You may use some of the same answers more than once.

Suppose you have midterms in English and Biology tomorrow and you have 8 hours left to study.  The accompanying table provides the combinations of time spent studying  English and Biology and your expected exam score   Hours spent studying English English Exam Score Hours spent studying Biology Biology exam score 0 73 8 98 1 75 7 90 2 80 6 85 3 85 5 75 4 90 4 70 a) what is the opportunity cost of studying 3 hours for your English exam, rather than 2? b) if your goal is to maximize your total score for both exams, which combination should you choose? c) Would your goals always be to maximize your average scores given your constraint of time? Suppose you are majoring in English and Biology is just an elective.  How would that change your allocation of study time? Explain using the concept of marginal benefits and marginal costs.
