Amoxicillin daily doses is 25 mg/kg/day  and the patient weight is 43 lb, so the amount of drug needed would be: 25 mg/kg/day  * (43lb * 0.453592kg/lb) = 487.5mg/day

The drug administered per 8hr, so the doses for every would be: 487.5mg/day * (1day/24hr) * (8hr/dose)= 162.5mg/dose.

The concentration of suspension is 250 mg/5 ml, so the ml of drug needed would be: 162.5mg/dose / (250mg/5ml)= 3.25ml/dose

Anyone know about cellular respiration? Please help me label, 60 points!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Mitochondria- glycolysis

ATP synthase- converts ADP to ATP

Inner membrane- electron transport chain

Matrix- krebs cycle

Explanation:

The mitochondria forms the fundamental site for glycolysis. The glucose is broken down enzymatically to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP. The krebs cycle is the first stage of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. ATP synthase is an enzyme that generates ATP during the process of cellular respiration. ATP synthase forms ATP from ADP and an inorganic phosphate (Pi) through oxidative phosphorylation. The mitochondrial inner membrane is the site of the electron transport chain, an important step in aerobic respiration.  Energy obtained through the transfer of electrons down the ETC is used to pump protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical proton gradient generating ATP.

Which of these statements is true about autotrophs, but not heterotrophs?
natka813 [3]
The third one,
Autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar. The glucose gives plants energy. Plants also use glucose to make cellulose, a substance they use to grow and build cell walls.

Which is a product of the light reaction?
elena-s [515]

Answer: NADPH and ATP

Explanation:

The mechanism of photosynthesis can be divided into two phases, light reaction, and carbon fixation. During the light reaction, photosynthetic pigments absorb radiant energy and undergo a series of photochemical reactions and convert the trapped energy into chemical energy which is stored in the form of NADPH and ATP. These two compounds constitute the assimilatory power. Light reaction is light dependent and it takes place in the grana of the chloroplast.
