Answer:

The correct answer would be - 9 hours.

Explanation:

The half life of a drug is the time that is required to decrease or reduced to one half of the its original achieved level or the highest amount previously taken. The half life of drug is also known as the time a drug take to complete its action.

At a dose of 500 mg the Fluoxitine drug would be 250 mg in 3 hour as it is given that half life of this drug is 3 hours, 125 mg in 6 hours, and in the end 62.5 mg in 9 hours.

Thus, the correct answer is : 9 hours.

Which molecule is less soluble in water--a fat or a phospholipid? Why?
VladimirAG [237]
Fat is less soluble in water compared to phospholipids.
This is because, fat is made up of three molecules of fatty acids which are not polar in nature at all, thus they mixed very poorly with water.
Phospholipids on the other hand has its molecules divided into two distinct regions, the head and the tail region. The head region is hydrophillic and it is polar in nature, that is, it mixes well with water. The tail region is made up of the fatty components  and it is hydrophobic.
Because of this difference in structure, phospholipid will dissolve better in water.

What is the relationship between genes DNA and proteins
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Although you might have heard people talk about a gene for red hair, green eyes or other characteristics, it's important to remember that genes code for proteins, not traits. While your genetic makeup does indeed determine physical traits like eye color, hair color and so forth, your genes affect these traits indirectly by way of the proteins created via DNA.

Hopefully, this answer helped! :D

How does a chemical equation support the law of conservation of matter?
alukav5142 [94]
Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. This is the law of conservation of mass. In every chemical reaction, the same mass of matter must end up in the products as started in the reactants. Balanced chemical equations show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions.
