Answer:

The answer is 2 milliliters or 2 mL.

Explanation:

Betamethasone is considered a <u><em>steroid medication.</em></u> It is used to treat varieties of condition such as skin rashes, arthritis and in the case above, fetal lung maturity. When it comes to fetal lung maturity, Betamethasone is usually administered to women who are in the gestation period of 34 weeks to 36 weeks, depending on the condition. It is administered through the muscles also known as "IM" or "intramuscular" and the usual dosage is 12 mg. In the case above, it is asking for the mililiters of administration considering that the order was 12 mg IM daily for three days. Since the Betamethasone comes in a 6mg/mL vial, you have to compute how much Betamethasone is to be given.

If there's 6 mg of Betamethasone per 1 mL, then this means that there's 12 mg of the medication in 2 mL.

So, the answer is 2 mL.

however, the scientific name felis catus, tells us that the species is catus and the genus is felis

Which of the following best explains the relationship between temperature and this enzyme?
DochEvi [55]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Enzymes functions in a specific temperature range.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Enzymes are biochemical catalysts whose function is to speed up the rate at which chemical reactions occur.
  • Enzymes work best at a specific range of temperatures known as optimum temperature.
  • Low temperatures below optimum levels deactivate the enzyme and thus lowering the rate of enzyme activity.
  • Extreme temperatures, on the other hand, denatures the enzyme altering enzyme's active sites making it difficult for substrates to fit.
