Introduction:
The birth rate is the number of live births in a particular time and the death rate is the number of the people deceased in a particular time. In humans, it is observed a decrease in the rate of death has been followed by a drop in the rate of birth. The speed of this adjustment contributes to determining future population growth.
Explanation of Solution
The changes in the population are termed as the demographic transition. The growth rate of the population is determined by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate.
In the given graph, in the beginning, the death and birth rates are high and the population growth is constant. Then in the demographic transition, the birth rates remain the same but the death rate falls. Then in the graph, the birth rate drops and the death rate remains constant.

- a. What percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent. b. What will happen to elimination of the drug in the previous question if the system is saturated? explain and show any math involvedarrow_forwardIf you wanted to reduce the difference between peak and trough levels that occur with repeated administration of a drug, how would you adjust the dose and dose interval without changing the plateau concentration (plateau is the average of peak and trough levels)? Select your answers for both dose and interval. Hint: It may be helpful to think about this problem using an example such as food. How would you eat if you wanted to maintain very steady hunger/satiety levels without changing your total caloric intake? Options: A. Dose; Increase dose B. Dose; Decrease dose C. Dose; Do not change dose D. Interval; Increase the interval between doses (give the drug less frequently) E. Interval; Decrease the interval between doses (give the drug more frequently) F. Interval; Do not change the intervalarrow_forwardWhat percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent. Show the matharrow_forward
