The approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance will be 130 mg/Kg.

The dose necessary to cause the death of 50% of a population under test after a predetermined test period is known as the LD50 value for a drug.
Commonly used as a broad indicator of a substance's acute toxicity are LD50 values.
Greater toxicity is indicated by a lower LD50. A low LD50 of 500 mg/kg or less implies severe toxicity.
Moderate toxicity is indicated by an LD50 of 500 to 1,000 mg/kg. A modest toxicity level of 1,000 to 2,000 mg/kg is indicated.
The species is especially vulnerable to the poison if the LD50 is low. The lethal dose (LD50) of a specific poison might change significantly between several animal species.
Thus out of all the options, LD50 130 mg/kg will have the lowest toxicity and 20 mg/kg will be the highest.

Which of the following cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins? Choose

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are known as covalent bonds. They are formed by the oxidation of 2 cysteines and these bonds can provide stability to proteins. These bonds mainly formed in intermembrane space of mitochondria and cellular compartments outside the cytoplasm endoplasmic reticulum. Both of these organelles present in an oxidation state providing an atmosphere for disulfide bond formation.

Cytoplasm and Nuclei mostly exit in reducing state because of the existence of disulfide reductase which is reducing the disulfide bonds between the cysteine residue to thiolate state. So, the disulfide bond formation will not happen.

Answer:

An experimental group is a group that receives the variable being tested in an experiment. The control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive the variable you are testing.

Explanation:

Control group, the standard to which comparisons are made in an experiment. ... A typical use of a control group is in an experiment in which the effect of a treatment is unknown and comparisons between the control group and the experimental group are used to measure the effect of the treatment.

The control group would be the group you keep control as you would not change anything about it throughout the course of the experiment. The experimental group you would give the experimental drug to.
