Answer:

(B). The drug is reabsorbed.

Explanation:

Renal clearance rate determines the excretion of drugs into the urine during excretion. It is used to study the main process associated with a drug's renal excretion.

When the renal clearance rate is lower than GFR (glomerulus filtration rate), the drug is absorbed in the renal tubules. When the renal clearance rate is higher than GFR, the drug is secreted into the urine. When the renal clearance rate is equal to the GFR, the drug is neither reabsorbed nor secreted.

As for given drug, renal clearance is 20 ml/min (less than GFR), this drug will reabsorbed.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Which stable element is used to determine the age of volcanic rock? argon O carbon-14 O O potassium carbon-12 Which stable eleme

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Argon

Explanation:

Argon is actually used to determine the age. It's called potassium-argon dating b/c when volcano erupts the rocks in it contain potassium. The potassium slowly decays and produces argon. Scientists measure how much argon is in a given volcanic rock and do math backwards to figure out how many potassium atoms were needed to produce the given amount of argon. We already know the rate at which potassium decays so then they put two and two together to find the age.
