activity

Examples of activity in the following topics:

• Activities of the Business: Financing, Investing, and Operating

  • Activities of the business include operating activities and non-operating activities such as investing activities, and financing activities.
  • Activities of the business include operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities .
  • Operating activities, or the fundamental activities the business engages in can include the production, sales, and delivery of the company's product as well as collecting payment from its customers.
  • In addition to operating activities businesses engage in non-operating activities.
  • Other activities which impact the long-term liabilities and equity of the company are also listed in the financing activities.

• Reporting Financing Activities

  • Reporting financing activities involves determining if cash is received or paid out due to financing activities such as issuing stock or paying dividends.
  • Other activities which impact the long-term liabilities and equity of the company are also listed in the financing activities section of the cash flow statement.
  • Everything concerning the loan is a financing activity.
  • Extending credit is an investing activity, so all cash flows related to that loan fall under cash flows from investing activities, not financing activities.
  • Non-cash financing activities may include:

• Activity Theory

  • The activity theory of aging proposes that older adults are happiest when they stay active and maintain social interactions.
  • The theory assumes a positive relationship between activity and life satisfaction.
  • However, critics of activity theory state that it overlooks inequalities in health and economics that hinders the ability for older people to engage in such activities.
  • Participating in activities from which they used to derive pleasure in the past, such as singing, helps older people stay active and engaged.
  • Compare the activity model and disengagement model of aging, in terms of activity level and level of life satisfaction

• Components of the Statement of Cash Flows

  • The cash flow statement has 3 parts: operating, investing, and financing activities.
  • There can also be a disclosure of non-cash activities.
  • Other activities that impact the long-term liabilities and equity of the company are also listed in the financing activities section of the cash flow statement.
  • Statement of cash flows includes cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities.
  • Recognize how operating, investing and financing activities influence the statement of cash flows

• Plasma Membrane Hormone Receptors

  • Binding of these hormones to a cell surface receptor results in activation of a signaling pathway; this triggers intracellular activity to carry out the specific effects associated with the hormone.
  • The activated G protein in turn activates a membrane-bound enzyme called adenylyl cyclase.
  • These activated molecules can then mediate changes in cellular processes.
  • The binding of a hormone at a single receptor causes the activation of many G-proteins, which activates adenylyl cyclase.
  • Hormone binding to receptor activates a G protein, which in turn activates adenylyl cyclase, converting ATP to cAMP. cAMP is a second messenger that mediates a cell-specific response.

• Cash Flow from Investing

  • These activities are represented in the investing income part of the income statement.
  • However, this cash flow is not representative of an investing activity on the part of the company.
  • The investing activity was undertaken by the shareholder.
  • Therefore, paying out a dividend is a financing activity.
  • Some examples of investment activity from the company's perspective would include:

• Enzyme Catalysis

  • Enzymes are proteins that accelerate biochemical transformations by lowering the activation energy of reactions.
  • Enzymes are proteins that are able to lower the activation energy for various biochemical reactions.
  • At the active site, the substrate(s) can form an activated complex at lower energy.
  • This change stabilizes the transition state complex, and thus lowers the activation energy.
  • An enzyme catalyzes a biochemical reaction by binding a substrate at the active site.

• Cash Flow from Financing

  • Cash flows from financing activities arise from the borrowing, repaying, or raising of money.
  • Everything concerning the loan is a financing activity.
  • Extending credit is an investing activity, so all cash flows related to that loan fall under cash flows from investing activities, not financing activities.
  • As is the case with operating and investing activities, not all financing activities impact the cash flow statement -- only those that involve the exchange of cash do.
  • Distinguish financing activities that affect a company's cash flow statement from all of the business's other transactions

• Avoiding Passive Voice

  • A way to focus your sentences on action and actors is to use the active voice rather than the passive voice.
  • Research shows that readers comprehend active sentences more rapidly than passive ones.
  • The active voice also eliminates the vagueness and ambiguity that often characterize the passive voice.
  • The active voice keeps the focus of the sentence on the action.
  • A memo written in the active voice will have a greater impact than one written in the passive voice.

• Secondary Active Transport

  • In secondary active transport, a molecule is moved down its electrochemical gradient as another is moved up its concentration gradient.
  • Unlike in primary active transport, in secondary active transport, ATP is not directly coupled to the molecule of interest.
  • Both antiporters and symporters are used in secondary active transport.
  • Secondary active transport brings sodium ions, and possibly other compounds, into the cell.
  • An electrochemical gradient, created by primary active transport, can move other substances against their concentration gradients, a process called co-transport or secondary active transport.
