Paliperidone has low affinity for lipid-rich environments compared from the parent compound risperidone. Due to its hydrophilicity characteristic, paliperidone is capable of hydrogen bonding with other molecules containing water and hydroxyl groups. Lipophilicity is a determining factor for the rate and degree of metabolism of the drug in the body and for crossing the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

Moreover, these differences are implicated in synaptic plasticity and neuronal firing effects in the mechanism of mitochondrial movement, protein expression, and phosphorylation of the drug. Paliperidone as a mood stabilizer is an active metabolite of risperidone with antipsychotic effects used for the treatment of schizophrenia and its associated disorders.

Which of the following best explains the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentration
lukranit [14]

The best explanation for the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentrations is that there are more frequent collisions of molecules of A than that of B.

<h3>How does concentration affect transport of molecules</h3>

  • Concentration is the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution.

Given two solutions A and B of different concentrations, The solution of higher concentration will have a higher amount of dissolved solutes.

Given A has a higher concentration, the solutes will collide with themselves much more than in B.

Hence, the molecules of A will tend to move faster than that of B.

Therefore, the best explanation for the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentrations is that there are more frequent collisions of molecules of A than that of B.

Explain implantation ?<br>Explain ovulation?<br>​
Sergeu [11.5K]

Implantation - About a week after the sperm has fertilized the egg, the fertilized egg has traveled to the uterus and has become a growing cluster of about 100 cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst then attaches itself to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). This attachment process is called implantation.

Ovulation - Ovulation is a phase in the menstrual cycle. It occurs at about day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle. Specifically, ovulation is the release of the egg (ovum) from a woman's ovary.

Trichodesmium is a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. Why might this cyanobacteria be important to other organisms in nitrogen-poor
eimsori [14]
Cyanobacteria don't need oxygen to survive they produce oxygen. They where the first ever known organisms on the planet and they produced oxygen in the oceans which was absorbed by iron deposits and then once the iron had oxygen the ocean got the oxygen until it got into the atmosphere and Eukaryota bacteria evolved. So the answer would be: <span>They convert nitrates from the water into nitrogen gas (N2) that is released into the atmosphere.</span>
