Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.

Why is fishing for some kinds of ocean fish controlled by laws?
lora16 [44]
C is the answer. Due to the current state of the world economy; people, if left to their own devices, would fish as much as possible so they can sell their fish to make money. Current technology means we can catch as many fish as we want (trawlers etc.). The problem with this is that there is only a finite amount of fish in the sea. If we were to fish them without limits in place, we could cause them to go extinct.

How is ATP created in photosynthesis?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e, that is, a, b and c.  

Explanation:

The phenomenon by which green plants and other species converts light energy into chemical energy is termed as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, the energy of the light is captivated and is utilized to transform carbon dioxide, water, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic components.  

With the transport of electron through the chloroplast membrane, the energy of the electron causes the diffusion of a hydrogen ion from stroma into the thylakoid lumen, which further leads to a formation of hydrogen ion concentration gradient. This gradient ultimately results in the formation of ATP.
