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>

Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?
QveST [7]
Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand. 

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.

Write down the names of two organelles that work together to provide a cell with energy so that it can function properly.
EastWind [94]
In an animal cell, Mitochondria alone provides energy required to carry out all life essential cellular activities like synthesis of substance, disposal, Synthesis of protein,etc, by converting food into energy rich molecules called ATP.

Whereas in case of a plant cell, Chloroplast along with Mitochondria generates energy for the cell. Chloroplast in the plant cell uses sunlight to synthesis energy through the process of light and dark reaction simultaneously.

Why is each phase of photosynthesis important?
Vikki [24]

Siendo así, el proceso de fotosíntesis es más importante de lo que parece. Gracias a la luz, las plantas son capaces de captar dióxido de carbono y expulsar oxígeno a lo largo del día, mientras que por las noches sucede al revés: absorben oxígeno y liberan dióxido de carbono.
