LD50 or TD50: it is the Lethal Dose 50 (to refer to animals), and Toxic Dose 50 (to refer to the human being). To refer to animals is: the dose of a drug, a drug (generally a substance) that kills 50% of a population. To refer to the human being: it is the dose of a drug, a medicine (in general a substance) that produces toxicity to 50% of a population.<span>

<span>Find the LD50, it is very important to determine the dose in which the drug produces toxic effects and thus be able to approach or deduce the effective dose, that in cases of administering a new drug to the human being, it is necessary to find the effective dose 50 (Dose of the drug that produces a therapeutic effect to 50% of the population) in order to determine the Therapeutic Margin or Therapeutic Index.</span></span>

How do shale oil and tar sands compare to conventional<br> (regular) oil deposits?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Oil shale is a form of sedimentary rock that contains kerogen, which is released as a petroleum-like liquid when the rock is heated. Tar sands are a combination of clay, sand, water and bitumen, which is a heavy hydrocarbon.

Additional info:

The term oil sands refers to a particular type of nonconventional oil deposit that is found throughout the world. Oil sands, sometimes referred to as tar sands, is a mixture of sand, clay, other minerals, water, and bitumen. The bitumen is a form of crude oil that can be separated out from the mixture.

The primary distinction between crude or conventional oil and shale oil is the way it collects. The oil in shale is typically found in smaller batches. As a result, shale oil often needs to be fractured so that the oil trapped within the shale can be recovered.

1. What is energy?
eduard
In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed.

Which statement below describes a feature that is shared between kinesin and dynein? a. Both proteins "walk" towards the (+) end
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C)Both proteins bind ATP and F-actin

*C option is not mentioned* there is a flaw in the question

Explanation:

Two families of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, transport membrane-bounded vesicles, proteins, and organelles along microtubules. Nearly all kinesins move cargo toward the (+) end of microtubules (anterograde transport), whereas dyneins transport cargo toward the (−) end (retrograde transport).While

both the protiens have globular ATP-binding heads that function as the motor domain and interact with the microtubules.
