Answer: The correct answer is C. 62.5%

Explanation:

Since the two drugs have equal affinity for the same receptor, when both are present at the same time in maximally effective concentrations, one half of the receptors will be occupied by the first drug and one half by the second drug. Since the intrinsic activity of the first drug is 1.0, each receptor occupied by this drug will be activated 100% and therefore the total response of one half of the receptors will be 50% of the maximal response. By the same token, since the Intrinsic activity of the second drug is 0.25, each receptor occupied by this drug will be activated 25% and so the total response of the other half of the receptors will be 12.5% of the maximal response. Therefore the response of all receptors will be 50% +12.5%, that is 62.5 % of the maximal response.

hi guys help me out ! i want to write 4 paragraph about when i make my hobby as career (my hobbyis dancing) plz make fast​
Furkat [3]

Dancing is not my sport, it’s my passion that I want to work hard for and in my spare time I put more effort into it and I never want to give it up no matter what. When the day arrives for me to compete in the dancing competition that I have to put everything I have learned in years.  I seldom get exhausted on the floor on dancing even I am dancing alone in my home and I never want to give up because my urge is to be the best dancer in my school.

I found that one must keep doing a dance in my spare time in order to become an expert in this sport. One must also make sure their customer also matches the music they are dancing on. When you perform in front of many people that is the most exciting part. We make sure that our hair, clothes, makeup are according to a situation before we hit the floor. One must also make sure to have a stretch before they start to dance in their team`s room.

When our team is next in line, everyone in the team feels excited to show their latent talent on the stage. When we are on the stage all dancers are hooking up and waiting for their turn to show it to the audience. After announcers announce our team name, we just dance our head out in the middle of the floor with full zeal.

Now all pressure is on your team when the music starts so it’s time to show the world your true talent. We received a standing ovation when the music ends and everyone in the hall stands up and we walk back to our room filled with excitement and anxiously waiting to receive the award in the award ceremony. When every time is done from their part, we were waiting to get awarded if our name comes into the three best teams. Finally, we heard that the school that took second place is … [school name].

Suddenly, excited screams fill at the stage which made every dancer of our team jumping, hugging and screaming with joy with one another as a second-place we took in our first competition of year [year].

We visited our family to cheer them too and our friends too. When we bring gifts to our family and friends like shirts, ice cream or flowers are our exciting moments. We advise dancers not to eat much before dancing so they can easily make dancing moves. We often exchange hugs and give best wishes to every dancer that they also take any position in the competition.
