Answer:

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's own immune system attacks itself. In the case of myositis, the immune system attacks healthy muscle tissue, which results in inflammation, swelling, pain, and eventual weakness.

Explanation:

Myositis (my-o-SY-tis) is a rare type of autoimmune disease that inflames and weakens muscle fibers. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's own immune system attacks itself. In the case of myositis, the immune system attacks healthy muscle tissue, which results in inflammation, swelling, pain, and eventual weakness.

g If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time

Elenna [48]

Answer:

a. 8.1 milligrams

b. 40.07 hours

c. 8.859 milligrams

Explanation:

If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled by

$A_{t}=10e^{-0.0173t}$

Where A(t) = amount of Valium remaining in the blood after t hours

t = time or duration after the drug is taken

a. we have to calculate the amount of drug remaining in the bloodstream after 12 hours

$A_{12}=10e^{-0.0173\times12}$

$A_{12}=10e^{-0.2076}$

= 10×0.81253

= 8.1 milligrams

b. In this part we have to calculate the time when A(t) = 5 milligrams

$5=10e^{-0.0173\timest}$

$\frac{5}{10}=e^{-0.0173t}$

0.5 = $e^{-0.0173t}$

Now we take natural log on both the sides of the equation.

ln(0.5) = ln( $e^{-0.0173t})$

-0.69314 = -0.0173t

t = $\frac{0.69314}{0.0173}$

t = 40.0658

≈ 40.07 hours

c. In this part we have to calculate the rate, by which amount of drug will decay in the bloodstream after 7 hours.

$A_{7}=10e^{-0.0173\times7}$

$A_{7}=10e^{-0.1211}$

= 10×0.8859

= 8.859 milligrams

Which of the following statements describes secondary productivity?- A) amount of solar energy converted to chemical energy B) a

Bingel [31]

In ecology, productivity refers to the rate of generation of biomass in an ecosystem. It is usually expressed in units of mass per unit surface (or volume) per unit time, for instance grams per square metre per day (g m−2 d−1). The mass unit may relate to dry matter or to the mass of carbon generated. Productivity of autotrophs such as plants is called primary productivity, while that of heterotrophs such as animals is called secondary productivity
