State the definition of limit in a metric space (E, d). Then prove that  

Alzheimer’s disease is associated with structural changes in the brain, including

Pathway of blood through the heart: Once the blood enters the right atrium, it travels through which valve, and then into which chamber?

True or False: The primary cause of Multiple Sclerosis is the overproduction of myelin in the Central Nervous System (CNS).

A line has a slope (m) of –2 and passes through the point (5, 8).  Use point-slope form, 

When we think of membrane transport, we often think first of ATP-dependent, active mechanisms. However, it is also true that passive diffusion of ions and molecules plays an important role in many physiological systems. For each of the following situations, indicate whether ACTIVE or PASSIVE membrane transport is used, or if BOTH forms of transport may be used.

Match the descriptions to the terms in the list below. Assume nothing: choices may be used more than once, or not at all. More than one listed answer may be correct.

Select the equations used when solving the above problem:  (The original problem: A box of 10.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 10.0 cm contains 1.2 x 105 Pa of N2 gas molecules at 25°C.  The mass of one N2 molecule is 4.68 x 10-26 kg and its molar mass is 28.0-g.  Assume all the molecules collide with the container walls with its rms speed in a head-on fashion and all the collisions are perfectly elastic, estimate the amount of molecules striking one side of the container wall in 10 seconds? )

Select the equations used when solving the above problem:  (The original problem: An underground gasoline tank can hold V gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F.  The tank is being filled on a hot day by a truck when the outdoor temperature is T°F.  How many gallons of gasoline from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from T°F to 52.0°F upon entering the tank. )

Select the equations used when solving the above problem:  (The original problem: Determine the elongation of the rod in cm for the rod shown in the figure if it is under a tension of {T} ✕ 103 N.)
