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

During the development of a multicellular organisms, which cells are totipotent? Select all of the answers that apply
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

A . the fertilized egg and the cells produced by the first few cell divisions

Explanation:

Totipotent cells are those cells in developmental stage of multicellular organisms which can give rise to any part of the organism. It can give rise to both the placenta and the embryo.

After the fertilization, the cells produced in first few divisions are totipotent. This stage is also called as morulla stage. Once blastocyst stage is reached, totipotency is lost. All the cells of blastocyst are not totipotent. The inner cell mass of blastocyst is pluripotent which means it can give rise to the entire embryo except placenta. The trophoblast layer of blastocyst can only produce placenta.
