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.

Where were fossils found in the mississippian time period
jekas [21]

Answer:

Mississippian fossils are abundant in portions of the Midwest and South and include vast beds of limestone and marble.

Explanation:

For example, the domed ceiling of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., is made of Indiana limestone that was deposited during the Mississippian Period.By the end of the Carboniferous, reptiles had migrated well toward the interior of Pangea. These early pioneers went on to spawn the archosaurs, pelycosaurs, and therapsids of the ensuing Permian period. (It was the archosaurs that went on to spawn the first dinosaurs nearly a hundred million years later.)

In negative control of transcription by the lac operon, how does the presence of an inducer affect transcription?.
ss7ja [257]

If the inducer [allolactose] is present in the negative control then it will bind to the repressor decreasing its ability to bind to the operator due to which the transcription begins again and the operon is turned on.

Lac Operon is a set of three genes z, y & a which are regulated under the same promoter which regulates the amount of lactose production in the cell.

An inducer is a molecule that has the ability to induce or activate the operon. ex- in the case of the lac operon, allolactose acts as an inducer.

A repressor is a molecule that will repress or restricts the transcription of the genes of the operon, as a result, the operon will be switched off.

When the lac operon is under negative control, with no CAP [catabolite repressor protein] binding activity, the repressor remains active and thus binds to the operator region of the operon, as a result, no transcription takes place and the operon will be switched off.

But if the inducer will be present even in the negative control then the transcription takes place and the operon will be on.
