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.

If polar is positive and non-polar is negative then why can’t a polar molecule pass through the non-polar phospholipid membrane
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Because of the chemical and structural nature of the phospholipid lipid by layer the lipid soluble molecule can just pass the lipid membrane and some small molecules can also pass freely.

Explanation:

as we know that the homeostasis is an important process for a  living cell to maintain it self so for the the exchange of materials between the external and internal environment is must so for that it exchange material with the outside environment of the cell.as the cell membrane is semipermeable(mean allow some molecule to pass(lipid soluble) and not others(lipid non soluble) to pass through the membrane.the cell membrane is selectively permeable due to its nature and chemical composition the chemical composition is lipid and  phosphate and glycerol(head) with fatty acid that may b saturated or unsaturated(tail).so finally all those molecule which are polar can not pass through the membrane and  non polar can pass the membrane.The size of the molecule is also a factor on which the permeability depends.

Secondary succession could occur after a _______.
pychu [463]

Answer:

disturbance has destroyed population in a community

Explanation:

The secondary succession occurs after there has been some disturbance that has manged to badly damage or destroy the populations in a community. This basically means that after some catastrophic event that happened to a certain population or populations, other species moved in to colonize the freed space. There are countless examples of secondary succession in nature, and one of the best is when there is a strong volcanic eruption. The volcano manages to destroy the population of plants and animals in its close surroundings, but after the eruption ends, the space starts to be colonized by new plants and animals step by step until they create a new well functioning community.
