and uses of several kinds of algebraic functions. The four models include‚ linear‚ exponential‚ power‚ and inverse power. The purpose of this assignment is to review our understanding of these models and their uses and to fulfill a writing piece for the MEAP test. The first and simplest function to be discussed is the linear function. A linear function can be modeled by the equation f(x)=ax+b‚ where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Linear functions form a straight line when graphed and maintain

to divide (Weinberg 2014). P53 is considered the “guardian of the genome” due to its variety of functions that are crucial for regular cell life cycles‚ and can prevent cancer (Weinberg 2014). Some of the functions of p53 include regulation of apoptosis‚ inducing cell-growth arrest‚ and activation of DNA repair proteins when the cellular DNA is damaged (Weinberg). Due to the majority of these functions preventing cancer and protecting the genome‚ one can see where the title “guardian of the genome”

Sociology 101 July 24‚ 2013 Structural Functionalism The structural theory sees the family as a social group that preforms certain essential functions for society. If these functions are not carried out then the family is odd or known to be dysfunctional. The family is like our body that has different parts and each part has a different function. The family is the backbone of the society and if it fails to pass on certain values and attitudes to its members then society will be affected. in

The left ventricle has a much thicker wall than the right ventricle because the left ventricle has to pump blood to the whole body while the right ventricle only has to pump blood to the lungs. 3. What is the function of the tendinous cords attached to the bicuspid and tricuspid valves? The tendinous cords attached to the bicuspid and tricuspid valves hold the valves in place and prevent them from turning inside out. 4. Explain how blood flow in the heart
