Explain how the proteins troponin, tropomyosin, actin and myosin regulate muscle contraction.

When the muscle is relaxed, tropomyosin fibres wrap around the actin filament, covering up the sites at which myosin can bind with actin.

During muscle contraction, Ca2+ ions bind to troponin compl...

Why do the atomic radii of the elements decrease across a period on the periodic table.

It may seem counterintuative that as the elemets' atomic numbers increase their atomic radii decrease. This is due to the increased electrostatic attraction (coulombic interaction) between nucleus and val...

Find the value of the discriminant of x2 + 6x + 11

For a quadratic equation in the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the determinant is given by b^2-4ac and is used to help identify the types of roots of the equation. In this case, the determinant is (6)^2-4(1)(11) which ...

Find the derivative of the function y=3x^2e^(2x)sin(x).

y is the product of three different function, so we would use the product rule in order to calculate the derivative of the curve. In order to apply the product rule we need to find the derivatives of each...

f(x)=(2x+1)/(x-1) with domain x>3. (a)Find the inverse of f(x). (b)Find the range of f(x). (c) g(x)=x+5 for all x. Find the value of x such that fg(x)=3.

(a) Let y=f(x). Then y = (2x+1)/(x-1). Rearrange the equation to get x in terms of y to obtain the inverse function. This gives x=(1+y)/(y-2). So the inverse of f is f-1(x)=(1+x)/(x-2)<...
