Stimulant, has a paradoxical effect in children, producing calmness in children with hyperactive behavior. The exact mechanism of action is not clearly understood.  Stimulant medications used to treat ADHD can suppress appetite, and the child may lose or fail to gain weight properly. The client is too young to manage his medications independently. Ritalin should be given in divided doses.

Answer:

More than one of the above

Explanation:

I strongly recommend sticking with the prescribed dosage of a drug.

A drug works by binding itself to the receptor site of a cell or tissue by non-covalent interactions.

Repeated doses of the same drug however may make the drug start behaving as an inverse agonist by blocking (instead of binding) the receptor site of the cell thus inducing a reduced response instead of an increased response to the drug.

Most active transport proteins use energy from the breakdown of what?
ikadub [295]
They use energy from the breakdown of a molecule called ATP. ATP is often called the energy currency of our body as it is used all around in the human body for different processes that need energy - so not just active transport of proteins. ATP gets broken down into ADP and an extra group of P (phosphates).

What effect would overfishing most likely have on a population of fish in a lake?
zubka84 [21]
Answer is B.


Overfishing would lead to a bottleneck effect, as large numbers of fish are removed from a fish population. Population size has a major effect on the amount of genetic diversity. The greater the population, the greater genetic diversity. Due to overfishing, the population would become smaller, which would reduce genetic diversity. So the answer is B.
