The statement that best explains why Chris did not get a rash from the water was that Chris's medication has an antagonistic relationship with the toxin in the water. That is option B.

<h3>What is drug-drug interaction?</h3>

Drug-drug interaction is definitely as the relationship that exists between two drugs when administered together or at the same time.

This relationship that exists between the drugs could be:

  • Synergistic relationship or

  • Antagonist relationship.

A synergistic relationship is the type of relationship that occurs between two drugs where by the total effect of the drugs are greater than the sum of the individual effects of each drug.

An antagonistic relationship is the type of relationship that occurs between two drugs where by the both drugs has opposite effects on the body.

Therefore, Chris didn't have the rash because his medication has an antagonistic relationship with the toxin in the water.

The reason why Chris did not get a rash from the water, but his friends did is that Chris's medication has a synergistic relationship with the toxin in the water.

<h3>What is a toxin?</h3>

A toxin is any subsistence which is able to interact with the body cells in a way that could cause overall harm to the body. Toxins may be waste materials from factories or substances that are extracted from living things.

In any case, the common factor that underlies every material that is referred to as a toxin is the fact that it is able to cause harm in the body.

Thus, the reason why Chris did not get a rash from the water, but his friends did is that Chris's medication has a synergistic relationship with the toxin in the water.

Identy three advantages and three disadvantages of bioplastics
swat32

Explanation:

<em><u>Advantages of bioplastics</u></em>

1.Less oil is used to produce petrochemical (oil-based) plastics which pose a great risk to the environment.

2.The common bioplastics can be injection molded and shaped to take the same form as traditional thermoplastics. In some cases, the bioplastics are stronger and lighter, too, so they are not necessarily only suitable for very niche applications.

3.Bioplastics are more marketable, for example, their usage may improve the value-add of a product through a green marketing campaign. After all, studies have shown that ‘80% of European customers want to buy products with a minimal impact on the environment,’ so bioplastics may represent a useful argument for brands.

<em><u>Disadvantages of bioplastics</u></em>

1.First, bioplastics are generally NOT cost-competitive compared to their oil-based counterparts. They are generally two or three times more expensive than the major conventional plastics such as PE or PET, and their production is plagued by low yields and being expensive. This disadvantage should be less acute when manufacturing plants become larger and benefit from economies of scale. A good example is Braskem’s 200,000-tonne bio polyethylene plant (equivalent to about 20% of the world’s current bioplastics production).

2.There is a concern that bioplastics based on terrestrial crops could harm food supplies; however, new innovations using food waste could be helpful in this regard and the concerns would seem to be unfounded as: ‘Perhaps 300,000 hectares are used to grow the crops which the industry processes into plastics. For comparison, this is about 0.02% of the world’s total naturally irrigated area available for cultivation. Even if half the world’s plastics were made from crops grown on food land, the industry would only require 3% of the world’s cultivated acreage.’

3.Crop-based bioplastics require fertile land, water, fertilizers, and are reliant on weather conditions. This means that the supply of raw materials for bioplastics are at risk of natural phenomena, such as drought.
