Document Summary

Now shapes are relative to one another. Where 2 power functions intersect a ex . Best approximation of function f-(x) = 3 + 5-1 7. When is nearly zero : fix) when is very large : fix/ . < i ex . where do f-1 1=3 4 and glx) = 5 7 intersect. " f (cid:15482)xf /x=[(cid:15482) and 0 (cid:8869) where do fix) = ax" and gcxt-bxm-in-rse. lt bxm _ a n = 0. Cell nutrient absorption and consumption (sphere shapes. Larger area = faster total rate of absorption. Assume rate of absorption = sa of cell. Rate which nutrients are consumed (cid:8869) proportional to volume. Bigger volume = more nutrients needed to keep cell alive. S : sa of cell v : volume r : radius. Ks : proportionality constant between sa + absorption rate kv : proportionality constant between volume + consumption rate.
