Answer:

Option B, ionic bonds; salt

Explanation:

All medicines either in the form of pills or liquid interact with our body by forming a bond with target specific receptors. For instance if a pain killer is taken then it shall form bond with receptors produced by pain and inflammation

So medicines are basically chemical which interact with biomolecules such as enzymes, nucleic acid, hormones, ions etc. by forming ionic bond, hydrogen bond, van der wall force etc. in the active site of enzyme.    

These salt molecule remain stable in normal conditions but as they come in contact with digestive system of the body (with different pH) they release the drugs

Hence, option B is correct

What are the similarities and differences between measles and tobacco mosaic virus?
sergejj [24]
A virus is a small, infectious agent that is made up of a core of genetic material surrounded by a shell of protein. The genetic material (which is responsible for carrying forward hereditary traits from parent cells to offspring) may be either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). Viruses are at the borderline between living and nonliving matter. When they infect a host cell, they are able to carry on many life functions, such as metabolism and reproduction. But outside a host cell, they are as inactive as a grain of sand.<span>

The esr1 gene is ________ in cancerous breast tissue and the grb7 gene is ________ in cancerous breast tissue for ms. Cantu.
oksian1 [2.3K]

For Ms. Cantu, the GRB7 gene is not expressed in malignant breast tissue while the ESR1 gene is upregulated in such tissue.

Upregulated genes are shown by the colour red.

Down-regulated genes are shown by the colour green.

Non-differentially expressed genes are indicated by the colour yellow.

Absence of expression is shown by the colour black.

Hence from the table and colours ESR1 The GRB7 gene is not expressed, and the gene is upregulated.
