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>

Law vs theory compare and contrast please really need help !!!
Sergeu [11.5K]
Some are:
-laws tell how
- laws are proven true
- Theories attempt to explain
- Theories are developed based on likely true things, but not necessarily proven
- hypothesis is an educated guess
- hypothesis is made before your test/experiment.
- laws are formed after tests and experiements.
- Theories are often based off of tests/experiment, but again, not necessarily proven to be true.

Why is it hard to say whether viruses are alive or not
MissTica
"Viruses straddle the definition of life. They lie somewhere between supra molecular complexes and very simple biological entities. Viruses contain some of the structures and exhibit some of the activities that are common to organic life, but they are missing many of the others. In general, viruses are entirely composed of a single strand of genetic information encased within a protein capsule. Viruses lack most of the internal structure and machinery which characterize 'life', including the biosynthetic machinery that is necessary for reproduction. In order for a virus to replicate it must infect a suitable host cell".
