Extra Credit Question – 5 Points. Botulism is caused by a very strong toxic protein produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria.  This is commonly known as Bo-Tox.  This toxin prevents the release of acetylcholine from the synaptic knobs of motor neurons.  Based on what you know about muscle fiber contraction, explain how injections of this toxin into the face relax facial muscles (and reduce wrinkling). Hint: View the Scoring Rubric for this question to see how I will grade it.

Select the correct statements for the operation of a throttling valve with negligible heat transfer and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energies. Throttling valves produce a pressure drop without involving any work. For an ideal gas, the temperature decreases during a throttling process. Internal energy values at the inlet and exit of a throttling valve are the same.
