Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Reduction is the process of gain ofelectrons by a chemical moiety. This results in the lowering of the oxidation stateof the reduced element. The opposite of reduction is oxidation which isregarded as the loss of electrons by a chemical moiety. The element that loseselectrons is said to be oxidized and its oxidation state increases. The processesof oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously, and the reaction is termed asa
Conclusion
Reduction is defined as the gain ofelectrons by an element.

Name some techniques/approaches (name, describe the major steps, how to analyze/interpret results) that can be used to satisfy the following requirements:
1. Find the nucleotide sequences of amylase and alcohol dehydrogenase genes.
Diazepam is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant and as a sedative administered before surgery, as
well as a treatment for anxiety. For children above the age of 6 months who suffer from anxiety
disorders, diazepam is administered at a reduced dosage. Suppose a child with a body surface area
(BSA) of 0.8 m2 is to receive a dose of diazepam divided into three administrations. Using the BSA
rule and assuming that an adult dose of diazepam is 12 mg, what are the daily dose and the dose
per administration?
mg
Based on the 2020-25 Dietary Guidelines, what is the % Daily Value for
fiber for a strawberry-banana smoothie with 7 grams of fiber?
The first step is to identify the Daily Value for fiber, which is
grams.
The next step is to divide the amount of fiber in the smoothie
grams by the Daily Value for fiber. Then, multiply by
100 to get the % Daily Value of
% (type in the numbers
only, no units, and round to the nearest whole number).
