First-pass effect.

  
The first-pass effect involves drugs that are given PO and absorbed from the small intestine directly into the portal venous system, which delivers the drug molecules to the liver. Once in the liver, enzymes break the drug into metabolites; they may become active or may be deactivated and readily excreted from the body. A large percentage of the oral dose is usually destroyed and never reaches tissues. Oral dosages account for this phenomenon to ensure an appropriate amount of the drug in the body to produce a therapeutic action. Passive diffusion is the major process through which drugs are absorbed into the body. Active transport is a process that uses energy to actively move a molecule across a cell membrane and is often involved in drug excretion in the kidney. Glomerular filtration is the passage of water and water-soluble components from the plasma into the renal tubule.

why is it important that biology studies the interactions of organisms with both their environments and other organisms
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Ecology can be described as the branch of biology which is related to the study of the interaction of an organism with other organisms and the environment. This study is important because both biotic and abiotic factors play a vital role in the existence of an organism. Abiotic factors such as soil type, food resources, water resources, amount of sunlight reflect which organisms will be able to live in an area. Biotic factors also influence the life of an organism just as the abiotic factors do.
