Write a small program, in pseudocode or otherwise, that demonstrates a recursive algorithm. Write a small explanation of how recursion is used in your program.

The Fibonacci sequence is defined as:f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)F(0) = 1F(1) = 1Where n is a positive number. This allows for a recursive algorithm to be written that returns 1 for the two ba...

Use your knowledge of the actin and myosin mechanism of muscle contraction to explain how a vesicle might be "walked" along the cytoskeleton of a cell.

ATP binds the myosin head in its resting state. ATP is hydrolysed to ADP + Pi, releasing energy. This changes the conformation of the myosin head, cocking it. The myosin head reattaches to the actin molec...

The curve C has the equation ye ^(–2x) = 2x + y^2 . Find dy/dx in terms of x and y.

differentiate both side with respect to x : (dy/dx)e^(-2x)+y(-2e^(-2x)) = 2+2y(dy/dx)
rearrange it : (-2y+e^(-2x))(dy/dy) = 2 + 2ye^(-2x) ==> dy/dx = ( 2 + 2ye^(-2x) ) / ( -2y+e^(-2x) )
