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.

1) Identify 4 stimuli that cause a decrease in the number of producers, consumers, and decomposers living in an area.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Temperature, humidity, food and water.

Explanation:

Temperature, humidity, food and water are the four stimuli that is responsible for the decrease in the population of producers, consumers, and decomposers living in that area. If the temperature is too high or too cold, the growth of the producer stops and the plants can't tolerate the temperature will die. The death of producers causes the death of consumers  because consumers depend on these producers for food. The population of decomposer also decreases if the environment is too harsh because decomposers also requires suitable environment for growth and survival. There is adverse effect on the energy pyramid, population, and community of organisms within the environment if these stimuli are not present in suitable range.

Which statement below is correct about the digestive system?
denis23 [38]

The right answer is B) Specialized tissues come together to create the stomach, which is an organ.

* Cells linked to each other form a set called tissue. The cells composing a tissue are not all identical, but they work together to provide a specific function.


* Each organ is a recognizable structure (eg, heart, lungs, liver, eyes, stomach) that provides a specific function. An organ consists of different types of tissues and, therefore, different types of cells.

The stomach is a thoraco-abdominal organ, located in the abdomen and in contact with the chest wall.

The stomach is a dilated segment of the digestive tract located between the esophagus and the duodenum. Its main function is to turn the food bolus into a mixture called gastric chyme.

The stomach is composed of two parts, two sides (anterior and posterior), two edges (small and large curvature) and two orifices (the cardia, upper orifice, and the pylorus, lower orifice).
