Answer:

b.Steady state

Explanation:

When a drug is in a steady state is usually defined as the time during which the drug remains stable when administered repeatedly or continuously (IV infusion) - this is the state where the rate of the drug entering the systemic circulation or drug administration equals to its rate of elimination out of the system. In the case where a drug is administered multiple times in fixed intervals the plasma concentration increases till it plateaus. This administration pattern will  result in a steady-state concentration which is intended to be within the therapeutic window

solong [7]

Answer:

Multicellular

Eukaryotic

Heterotrophs

Explanation:

Both cells of fungi and animals are eukaryotic meaning they have  nucleus and organelles. They are multicellular organisms (meaning they are composed of many cells). Their cells are also heterotrophic meaning they depend on organic molecules for energy as opposed to plants that can make their food from abiotic factors. Fungi, however, digest their molecules extracellularly while animals do it intracellularly.

What Major adaptations necessary for survival are in the temperate rain forest
Ahat [919]
Some plants also have large leaves to soak up nutrients and water, very helpful in this biome since it rains a lot. - Having some needles cased in wax, withstand cold temperatures and losing water from their leaves. - Having thin bark and shallow roots enables trees to withstand fire.
