Borders are still guarded zealously and fought for - via wars when required and when not required in equal measure. I see nations fighting
over water that preciously scarce resource of the future. I see that terrorists still abound - the Osama Bin Laden types still roam the Earth terrorizing countries and peoples with newer weapons and newer methods of instilling terror. I see that the United States is no longer the sole superpower of the world -- the most powerful country on Earth. I see the most powerful countries dominating the world as being China, India, Brazil and Russia in that order. I see that China and India have become the equivalent of the US and the erstwhile Soviet Union - fighting another Cold War between them and competing for resources and influence around the world.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
The stock solution of Gentamycin has a concentration of 5 mg/ml while each plate needs to contain 50 micrograms/ml of Gentamycin.
5 mg/ml = 5000 micrograms/ml
There is a need to dilute the stock antibiotic solution in order to arrive at 50 micrograms/ml. Using the dilution principle;
m1v1 = m2v2
5000 x 1 = 50 x v2
v2 = 5000/50 = 1000 ml
<em>Hence, in order to prepare 50 micrograms/ml, 1 ml of the stock Gentamycin should be taken and diluted with 999 ml of distilled sterilized water. 1 ml of the diluted Gentamycin will then be added to each agar plate while they are still in the molten form at a warm temperature.</em>
First-pass effect.
The first-pass effect involves drugs that are given PO and absorbed from the small intestine directly into the portal venous system, which delivers the drug molecules to the liver. Once in the liver, enzymes break the drug into metabolites; they may become active or may be deactivated and readily excreted from the body. A large percentage of the oral dose is usually destroyed and never reaches tissues. Oral dosages account for this phenomenon to ensure an appropriate amount of the drug in the body to produce a therapeutic action. Passive diffusion is the major process through which drugs are absorbed into the body. Active transport is a process that uses energy to actively move a molecule across a cell membrane and is often involved in drug excretion in the kidney. Glomerular filtration is the passage of water and water-soluble components from the plasma into the renal tubule.
Answer:
homeostasis
Explanation:
Homeostasis has to do with processes that maintain the internal balance within an organism. It can succinctly be defined as the process of regulating an organism's internal environment. The process of homeostasis is very important in the maintenance of important indicators of balance in the body such as body temperature, body pH, etc.
Hence, when blood pH becomes overly acidic, respiration and kidney function change to bring the acidity back to its normal pH level of 7.4. This is a homeostatic response.
