Answer:
What iron and folic acid supplements have in common is that both are frequently prescribed for cases of anemia.
Explanation:
Iron and folic acid supplements are necessary and commonly used in the treatment of anemia. Clinical anemia is a condition due to decreased red blood cells, hemoglobin, or lack of iron.
- <u>Iron</u> is an important part of hemoglobin, a molecule found in red blood cells that allows the transport of O₂ and CO₂ gases.
- <u>Folic acid</u> is a necessary cofactor for the synthesis of new cells, including red blood cells or erythrocytes.
The joint use of folic acid and iron supplements in cases of anemia contributes to the formation of new erythrocytes and hemoglobin molecules, in addition to improving and preventing anemia by providing sufficient iron deposits for these cells to fulfill their function.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>Antibiotics are used in </em><em><u>septicemia</u></em><em>.
</em>
- <em>Folic acid and iron are </em><em><u>not related to the amount or health of the leukocytes</u></em><em>.

Answer:
0.47 mL
Explanation:
In the case of insulin, an International Unit (IU) is equivalent to 0.01 ml or 0.01 cm³ . In some syringes, a "cylindrical" indication is represented by the symbol "cc". Although incorrect (right is cm³), an equivalence is maintained (0.01 cc = 0.01 cm³ = 0.01 ml = 1 IU). Remember the equivalence between IU and ml or cm³ for insulin.
So considering that 100 units = 1 mL (100 x 0.01 = 1mL), 47 units will be 0.47 mL (47 x 0.01 = 0.47mL).
