I believe the answer is <span>c. absorption
</span>The phase of pharmacokinetic that happens in the intestine is when the drug absorbed. A person with old age will have lower intestine motility. This will increase the transit time which will increase the amount of drug absorbed.
Age could also influence others pharmacokinetic parameter(<span>excretion, distribution, metabolism) but it is related with another organ, not intestine.</span>
Answer:
d. alveolar ventilation rate
Explanation:
Alveolar Ventilation rate (AVR) refers to the rate of airflow that reaches the alveoli which is available for gas exchange with the blood in a given unit of time. AVR is generally calculated as the amount in millimeters of air expired that equilibrates (i.e., exchanges) with alveolar gas per min unit (ml/min). AVR is affected by breathing frequency, tidal volume ( i.e., the normal amount of air between inhalation and exhalation), and the amount of dead space in the lungs.
Answer:
A malaria outbreak causing allele frequencies to change is an example of <u><em>natural selection.</em></u>
Explanation:
Natural selection is a type of selection in which those organisms are favoured to live and reproduce which are better adapted to live in an environment. Due to natural selection, the allele frequencies of a population will tend to change with the passage of time.
When the outbreak of malaria occurs, those organisms which do not catch malaria are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings. the other organisms die and do not reproduce. This will cause changes in the allele frequencies.
The surface area of a sphere can be approximated as follows: Surface area = 4πr2; where r is the radius of the sphere; π is a constant that is roughly equal to 3.
