Answer:

Explanation:

A phospholipid is a type of lipid molecule that is the main component of the cell membrane. Lipids are molecules that include fats, waxes, and some vitamins, among others. Each phospholipid is made up of two fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a glycerol molecule. When many phospholipids line up, they form a double layer that is characteristic of all cell membranes.

A phospholipid is made up of two fatty acid tails and a phosphate group head. Fatty acids are long chains that are mostly made up of hydrogen and carbon, while phosphate groups consist of a phosphorus molecule with four oxygen molecules attached. These two components of the phospholipid are connected via a third molecule, glycerol.

Eduardwww [97]

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.

Compare the modern Cell Theory to the original Cell Theory
CaHeK987 [17]
The statements of the old cell theory are:
1. All organisms are composed of cells
2. The cell is the basic unit of life
3. Cells are produced from existing cells

The modern cell theory's statements are:
1. The cell contains hereditary information which is passed to daughter cells
2. All cells are basically the same in composition and activity
3. All basic functions occur in cells
4. Cell activities depend on intracellular structures

As is visible from the statements, the old cell theory was not as detailed and lacked the understanding of the function, structure and behavior of cells that the current theory possesses. This difference has come about after years of research, through which scientists understood the functions of cells and elaborated on the theory's statements.
