The rate at which a cell absorbs an external signalling molecule x through the cell membrane can be described by the absorption function A(x)- 1. Calculate A'(x) and find a value for x such that the absorption function has a horizontal tangent line. 2. What is the absorption rate at this value of x ? 3. Find this tangent line. 4. Would you expect this absorption function to be the same for all cell types and for all signalling molecules x?
