1. The heme of hemoglobin releases the iron. The heme then converted into biliverdin, which is converted into bilirubin.

2. Conjugated bilirubin is excreted as is then part of the bile into the small intestine. Bacteria of the intestine break down the bilirubin.

3. Some bilirubin derivatives converted into which is contribute to the color of feces.

4. Other biliurbin derivatives are reabsorbed from the intestine into the blood. These derivatives are excreted from the kidneys and contribute to the color of urine.

5. The globin chains of hemoglobin are broken down to individual amino acids and are metabolized or used to build new proteins.

6. Blood transports free bilirubin to the liver.

7. Blood transports iron in combination with transferrin to various tissues for storage or to the red bone marrow where it is used in the production of new hemoglobin.

8. Hemoglobin is broken down by macrophages into heme and globin chains.

A theory of how consumers decide what to buy

Andrei [34K]

1)The lifestyle of a consumer will influence on his behavior and purchasing decisions. For example, a consumer with a healthy and balanced lifestyle will prefer to eat organic products and go to specific grocery stores, will do some jogging regularly (and therefore will buy shoes, clothes and specific products),

2)Cultural trends or “Bandwagon effect” are defined as trends widely followed by people and which are amplified by their mere popularity and by conformity or compliance with social pressure. The more people follow a trend, the more others will want to follow it.

3)The membership groups of an individual are social groups to which he belongs and which will influence him. The membership groups are usually related to its social origin, age, place of residence, work, hobbies, leisure, etc..

The equations of the tangent to the curve y=xsinx at the point (pi/2,pi/2) is

never [62]

The first thing you have to realize is that tangent is the slope of a curve on a given point. You can solve for the slope by finding the derivative of the given function. So:

$\frac{d}{dx} xsin(x)$

Next use product rule (I recommend watching videos if you're confused):

$= [sin(x)] + [x*cos(x)]$

Next substitute you x-value (π/2) into your derivative:

$= [sin( \frac{ \pi}{2} )] +[ \frac{\pi}{2}*cos( \frac{\pi}{2})]$
$= 1 + \frac{\pi}{2} *0$
$= 1$

So our slope at π/2 is 1. Next we use our slope-form and substitute our given value and solve for y-intercept (algebra-stuff)

$( \frac{\pi}{2}) = 1( \frac{\pi}{2}) + b$
$b = 0$

So we get our equation:

$y = x$

So our answer is E

Feel free to ask any questions.
Hopes this helps!
