3 0

Answer: The equation of the Malthusian model is P (t) = Cert . Apply the cell

counts to solve for r and C. P (1) = 1000, so Cer = 1000, i.e. r = ln(1000/C).

Also, P (2) = 3000, so Ce2r = 3000, i.e. r = 1

2 ln(3000/C). Setting these equal

and solving, one obtains C = 1000/3. Substituting C into r = ln(1000/C) gives

that r = ln 3.

Inessa05 [86]
The correct answer is antigens and epitope.
An antigen is a substance which triggers an immune response in an organism. This can be either a foreign substance, such as a pathogen, or a specific part of the host organism (in this case this is an autoimmune response). The presence of an antigen activates a specific part of the immune system, called antibody. Each antigen has a specific antibody, which is tailored by the immune system accordingly. More specifically, the antibody has a specific structure, called paratope, which is complementary and binds like a key to a specific structure of the antigen, called epitope.
