Answer:

specificity is an important criteria for screening and diagnostic instruments, the specificity of a test reflects the probability that the screening test will be negative among those who, in fact, do not have a disease.

A test that is 90% specific will identify 90% of patients who do not have the disease. Tests with a high specificity (a high true negative rate) are most useful when the result is positive. A highly specific test can be useful for ruling in patients who have a certain disease.

A 0.2 M solution of NaCl contains ________ g of NaCl in 1 l of ________.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

11.7 g in 1 L of water.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) or Molar concentration is a measure used in chemistry for solutes in a solution.

It is defined as mol/ L (number of moles per litre).

0,2 M means we have 0,2 mol/ L

In order to know how many grams this means we need to look up the molecular weight of the solute. In this case NaCl: 58.443 g/mol

$\frac{1 mol NaCl}{58.443 g}$ = $\frac{0.2 mol}{X g}$

X= $\frac{(0.2 mol x 58.433 g}{1 mol}$

X= 11.69 g

The solution has 11.69 g of NaCl in 1 L of water since its an adequate polar solvent for NaCl dissolution.

Given the findings in the passage, which additional result most strongly indicates that the TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 receptors regulate

zysi [14]

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The first experiment of the passage shows that treatment with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 antagonists led to lower levels of epithelial cell production. For this conclusion to be strongly valid, we want to show a positive correlation between TGFBR activity and epithelial proliferation.
