Response of a Muscle When a solution of acetylcholine is introduced into the heart muscle of a frog, it diminishes the force with which the muscle contracts. The data from experiments of the biologist A. J. Clark are closely approximated by a function of the form

R ( x ) = 100 x b + x , x 0 ,

where x is the concentration of acetylcholine (in appropriate units), b is a positive constant that depends on the particular frog, and R ( x ) is the response of the muscle to the acetylcholine, expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible effect of the drug.

Suppose b = 15 . Find the response of the muscle when x = 30 .

Determine the value of b if R ( 50 ) = 30

; that is, if a concentration of x = 50 units produces a 30 % response.

  • Hollings Functional Response Curve The total number P of prey taken by a predator depends on the availability of prey. C.S. Holling proposed a function of the form P=cn(1+dn) to model the number of prey taken in certain situations. Here n is the density of prey available, and c and d are constants that depend on the organisms involved as well as on other environmental features. Holling took data gathered earlier by T. Burnett on the number of sawfly cocoons found by a small wasp parasite at given host density. In one such experiment conducted, Holling found the relationship p=21.96n1+2.41n, Where P is the number of cocoons parasitized and n is the density of cocoons available measured as number per square inch. a Draw a graph of p versus n. Include values of n up to 2 cocoons per square inch. b What density of cocoons will ensure that the wasp will find and parasitize 6 of them? c There is a limit to the number of cocoons that the wasp is able to parasitize no matter how readily available the prey may be. What is this upper limit?
    Decay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c. Explain why A=RRekt.
