Answer:

No. 5% of ciprofloxacin oral suspension for this child exceeds the therapeutic range.

Explanation:

Single dose of ciprofloxacin suspension shall be 400 mg

the pediatric oral dose is 10-20 mg/kg and body weight of child is 55 lb.

1 kg is 2.2 lb= 55÷ 2.2 = 25 kg

minimum required dose for child is 25 × 10= 250 mg

maximum required dose for child is 25 × 20 = 500 mg

1 teaspoonful is 5000 mg.

500 mg ÷ 5000 mg = 0.1 tsp

Hence, the dose exceeds the therapeutic range.

Potassium uniport is an example of secondary active transport system because it uses ______ of the proton motive force.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The correct word to be fill in the blank is 'energy.'

Explanation:

Secondary active transport is a type of active transport, which involves transport of molecules or ions across the membrane against their concentration gradient by using energy.

In secondary active transport, energy is provided by electrochemical gradient. It involves transport of two molecules or ions (either in same or opposite direction) and required energy is generated due to difference in electrochemical gradient formed by pumping or ions across the cells.

An example of secondary transport is transport of potassium ions by K+/H+ exchanger that transports hydrogen ions and potassium ions in opposite direction. It uses energy from proton motive force (generated by transport of hydrogen ions or protons) to transport potassium ions.

Thus, the correct answer is 'energy.'

Verizon [17]

Answer:  D. Contractility of the heart muscle refers to the force of contraction that this muscle can exert.

Explanation:

The myocardial contractility is ability of the heart muscles to contract. This is achieved by the forces which develop between the contracting muscles caused by the filaments of actin and myosin.

The degree of binding of the muscle filaments dependents upon the calcium ion concentration. These actions are controlled in vivo by the sympathetic nervous system. It is driven by the release of the catecholamine, which is a process which determines the calcium ion concentration inside the cytosol of the muscles of the heart.
