Answer: the increased surface area aids in the better absorption of drugs.

Explanation: According to Noyes- Whitney equation, increased absorption of drugs depends on the rate of dissolution which is modified by altering the surface area. Reduction of the drug size from solid to powder form increases the specific surface area and the dissolution rate. This unique quantity makes it a fast acting medication since it's absorbed faster.

Answer:

Many fast- acting medications are sold as powders, sometimes inside soluble capsules. Why would these medications act faster than solid tablets

it is a known fact that surface area affects digestion, soluble capsule which has been broken down to powdery form will penetrate faster than the solid ones which will take a longer time to get broken into particles before penetration.

the higher the solubility the higher the digestion or penetration of this drugs, thus; the faster the rate of its work vice versa

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment

Explanation:

Meiosis and Mitosis are two types of cell division that occurs in living organisms. However, Mitosis produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. This accounts for the reason meiosis leads to genetic variation.

The production of genetically different cells by meiosis is as a result of the process of the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis I. This process is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT. However, crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

What facts can you compile that would support a theory that multicellular eukaryotes developed from unicellular prokaryotes?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Multicellular eukaryotes evolved from unicellular prokaryotes by the process of endosymbiosis

Explanation:

All living beings have evolved from three groups of animals closely related with each other.Domains: Archaea,bacteria and eukarya.the archaea and bacteria are unicellular organism surrounded by single cell water and  and coiled stand of DNA. Eukaryotic cells are more complex and with a linear  strand of DNA which is in the nucleus. Actually mitochondria which had evolved from a free living bacterium which was swallowed by another cell. The host cell benefited from the chemical energy that mitochondria produced and mitochondria in turn is benefited to be inside the protected environment. Mitochondria is the main organelle which the multicellular eukaryotes with unicellular prokaryotes.
