Explanation:

Epinephrine also called adrenaline is more of a hormone than a neurotransmitter. Hormones are used for signaling by being released into the blood stream. Adrenaline or epinephrine produced by adrenal gland, acts as a hormone. Adrenaline or epinephrine does not have its own receptor, since its chemical composition is quite similar to noradrenaline or norepinephrine, epinephrine stimulates norepinephrine receptors and acts as neurotransmitter. While norepinephrine is primarily a neurotransmitter. A neurotransmitter is used for direct signaling between the neurons generally by physical contact at synapse.

Liula [17]

Answer:

Asexual reproduction yields genetically-identical organisms because an individual reproduces without another. In sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals from the same species combines to produce genetically-different offspring; this ensures mixing of the gene pool of the species.

Free_Kalibri [48]

So, basically the question is asking what is the dose of a medication that is 2.5mg/kg.

Assuming that the child does NOT weigh 7171lbs but 71lbs; which would equal around 32kg (71 x 0.45).

So this child would have 2.5mg per 32kg. 32kg x 2.5= 80mg of medication.
