Explanation:

Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacy which deals with the action of the body on the drug once it is administered in the body.

There are four process are followed when a drug is administered inside a body. These are absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination or excretion.

Absorption is the movement of drug from its site of administration into the blood. Most drugs are absorbed by passive absorption but drugs need carrier mediated transport.

Distribution is the movement of drug through out body. Determined by the blood flow into tissues and cells.

Metabolism is the transformation of blood within the body to make it more hydrophilic so that it can be easily excreted out of the system.

Excretion is the removal of substances from the body. Some drugs are either excreted out unchanged and some are excreted out as metabolites.

Answer:

Pharmacokinetics is the analysis of how the body copes with absorption, distribution, metabolism & excretion of drugs under examination.

The four process of pharmacokinetics are absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination.

Explanation:

Pharmacokinetics is the analysis of how the body copes with absorption, distribution, metabolism & excretion of drugs under examination. The impacts and length of the drug's action are also considered.

The four process of pharmacokinetics are absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination.

1) Absorption - Absorption is the motion of a drug into the blood from its administration site. Many drugs are absorbed through passive absorption, but certain drugs require transportation mediated by the carrier.

2) Distribution - Distribution is the body wide motion of drugs

3) Metabolism - It is the method of transforming a drug throughout the body and make it much more hydrophilic in order for the kidneys to secrete it from the body.

4) Elimination - Excretion is the elimination from the body of the substance. Several drugs are either excreted unchanged or emit as urine or some other form.

(hope this helps can I pls have brainlist. (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change. More frequent and intense drought, storms, heatwaves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities. Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal livelihoods and communities.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The water has left the system before if could be measured.

Explanation:

Some of the water has flowed quickly along as surface runoff and through the river channel. Scientists would then missed the chance to measure this rainfall. Some water will have been absorbed by nearby vegetation. The vegetation then releases the water in a vapor state, to the atmosphere. This process is known as transpiration. Heat in the atmosphere causes evaporation and the water never joins the soil of groundwater to be measured as part of the water table.

The oceanic Pacific plate and the oceanic Juan de Fuca plate are diverging. Which landform would you expect to form?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The landform that will form is a mid-ocean ridge.

Explanation:

When tectonic plates move away from each other they form a divergent plate boundary. At this type of boundary, as the plates move away, a gap starts to open up gradually. This gap becomes wider and wider over time and the crust is made much less thick, which in turn presents a good opportunity for the magma to come out on the surface.

Because the crust is weaker and thinner, the magma manages to rise through it and rich the surface relatively easily. As it does, the magma reaching the surface, or rather the bottom of the ocean, it solidifies in the water and as more and more magma comes out it piles up. By piling up and constantly creating new rock an underwater mountain chain starts to form and this type of mountain chain is known as a mid-ocean ridge.
