Summary Introduction

To answer:

Explain why both dinoflagellates and Euglenids were originally classified as protozoa by zoologist as algae and by botanists.

Introduction:

Dinoflagellates are eukaryotic protists with flagellum for their movement. These organisms are planktons in which most of them are marine, but also common in fresh water. They are also called as sea sparkle. Henry Baker has described them as animalcules causing sparkles in seawater due to their luminescence nature. Dinoflagellate are categorised then under flagellate and under algal division Pyrrophyta respectively. Euglenids are flagellates, endosymbiont freshwater eukaryotes. Euglenids have organelles like chloroplast which helps in photosynthesis process. Euglenids are categorised under flagellate order Euglenids and an algal division Euglenophyta as protozoa and algae respectively.

A patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection. She is immediately prescribed an 800 mgdose of antibiotic (bioavailability = 1/2, t½ = 12 h). The corresponding plasma concentration of drug is found to be 96 micrograms/ml. What is the volume of distribution of this drug? Please round to the nearest liter.
A 10 mg/Kg dose of a drug is given by intravenous injection to a 20 Kg dog. What would the volume of distribution be if the drug had been given orally and only 50% of the drug was absorbed (the concentration of drug at time = 0 is 0.1 mg/L)? Be sure to show your work.
After oral administration of 10mg of a drug, 50% is absorbed and 40% of the amount absorbed is metabolized by the first pass effect. The bioavailable dose of this drug is  ______. Make sure to provide units for your answer. Show your work.
