Let LSI be the latus rectum, C be the centre of the ellipse and the coordinates of L be (x, y) then x = CS = 3 ae ...... (1) And y = SL = b2/3a = (9a2(1 - e2))/3a = 3a (1 - e2) ...... (2) Eliminating the variable 'e' from (1) and (2) we get the locus of L. Hence putting the value of e from (1) and (2),...

Let LSI be the latus rectum, C be the centre of the ellipse and the coordinates of L be (x, y) then x = CS = 3 ae ...... (1) And y = SL = b2/3a = (9a2(1 - e2))/3a = 3a (1 - e2) ...... (2) Eliminating the variable 'e' from (1) and (2) we get the locus of L. Hence putting the value of e from (1) and (2), we get:- y = 3a(1-x2/9a2) x2 = 9a2 - 3ay x2 = 3a(3a - y), which is clearly a parabola. Similarly, we can show that the locus of L' is x2 = 3ay(y + 3a) which is again a parabola. read less

Co-ordinate of extreme point of latus rectum would b (c,y).You can find ‘y’ by taking ‘x’ as ‘c’ in general equation,which comes out to b2/a.So the co-ordinate becomes {(a2-b2)1/2,b2/a}.Eliminating ‘b’ you will get a2-x2=ay.

Imagine a protein that functions in the ER but requires modification in the Golgi apparatus before it can achieve that function. Describe the protein’s path through the cell, starting with the mRNA molecule that specifies the protein.
The protein is synthesized into the lumen of the ER and perhaps modified there. A transport vesicle carries the protein to the Golgi apparatus. After further modification in the Golgi, another transport vesicle carries it back to the ER.
