It is estimated that the world human population reached 3 billion people in 1959 and 6 billion in 1999. Assuming a carrying capa

Answer:

i ) Gompertz equation :

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)

ii) The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

iii) The logistic growth was more accurate

Explanation:

<u>i) write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth</u>

Gompertz equation :

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)

∝ = growth rate

k ( carrying capacity ) = 16 * 10^9

P(t) = population at time t

<u>ii) Determine what year the population reached 7 billion </u>

The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

solution attached below

<u>iii) Determine if logistic growth or Gompertz growth was more accurate  considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011</u>

The logistic growth was more accurate because the when Logistic growth model was used, the year in which the population reached 7 billion was 2010 and this value is more closer to 7 billion on October 31 2011 ( given value )

Describe the process of skeletal muscle contraction by assembling the following 10 events in the proper order in paragraph form.
balu736 [363]

5) muscle fiber is stimulated at the neuromuscular junction triggering an action potential  

7) APs travel down the T-tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum  

Released acetylcholine (due to action potential within motor neuron) from the motor neuron initiates depolarisation within the sarcolemma, which is spread through the muscle fibre via T tubules.

8) in response to an AP, calcium ions are released into the cytosol/space around the myofibrils

Depolarisation causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions necessary for the contraction

3) calcium ions bind to the T and T system

1) T and T system undergoes a conformational change, exposing the myosin binding sites on actin  

6) myosin head/cross-bridges bind to actin

The binding sites for the myosin heads located on actin, are covered by a blocking complex (troponin and tropomyosin) that can be unblocked by the calcium binding

2) myosin heads/cross bridges bind to actin and flex, shortening the sacromere  

4) actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sacromere, shortening the muscle fiber  

As the individual sarcomeres become shorten the muscle fibres as a whole contracts

10) myosin head continues to attach, flex, release, extend, and reattach as long as calcium ions are present

9) calcium ions actively transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum  

Relaxation of a muscle fiber occurs when a Ca ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum .

Describe how epinephrine has different effects in different target tissues
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Epinephrine binds to receptors on some smooth muscles (ex: around arterioles) → Ca++ released from ER → intracellular Ca++ up → stimulates contraction. c. Epinephrine binds to receptors on some smooth muscles (ex: around bronchioles) → phosphorylates protein needed for response to Ca++, preventing response.

Answer:

This is a picture of an aminoacid chain

Explanation:

In an amino acid chain all amino acids ( for example GLY, VAL, or ARG) are linked by peptide bonds. Long chains, also called polymers, of amino acids are called proteins. The enlarged photo is an example of a structure of an amino acid. They have an amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional group, along with a side chain (R group), specific to each amino acid.
