Answer:

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min rounded to 17 gtts/min</u>

Explanation:

In order to calculate the flow rate, the following formula will be used.

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

50 mL of fluid in which Ciprofloxacin is dissolved is taken as volume.

<u>KNOWN DATA:</u>

Volume = 50mL

Time = 45 minutes

Drop factor = 15 gtts/mL

Flow rate = unknown

<u>CALCULATION:</u>

Plugging the known values in the formula,

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

Flow rate = \frac{50}{45} x 15

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min.</u>

Brain-imaging techniques can determine all of the following EXCEPT :
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is letter c, The structure of individual neurons.

Explanation:

Brain-imaging technique- <u><em>this comprises of different techniques for analyzing the brain's activities as well as structure, function and other problems.</em></u>

There are many brain-imaging techniques such as <u>Positron Emission Tomography or PET,</u> which traces the part of the brain that is activated during specific tasks as well as the localization of brain activity in response to a specific stimulus. These areas are seen with high radioactivity.

Patterns of blood flow in the brain can be detected by using <u>MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) test.</u> There is an increase in blood flow to areas in the brain with high activity level.

With the explanation given, it shows that letter c is the only choice that the brain-imaging techniques cannot determine.

How do the oomycetes differ from other stramenopiles, and what are some important plant diseases caused by oomycetes
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

OBJECTIVES:

To observe symptoms and signs of representative diseases caused by the Oomycete pathogens.

To become familiar with vegetative and reproductive structures of the Oomycetes, and their role in disease development.

INTRODUCTION:

The Oomycetes, also known as water molds, are a large group of terrestrial and aquatic eukaryotic organisms. Although they superficially resemble fungi in mycelial growth and mode of nutrition, molecular studies and distinct morphological characteristics place them in the kingdom Chromalveolata (phylum Heterokontophyta, the 'stramenopiles') with brown and golden algae and diatoms.
