Chapter 18, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction

To explain:

The several hypotheses for evolution of monomers does not negate that the evolution of monomers was the first basic stage of evolution in the origin of life.

Introduction:

The hypothesis includes the prediction based on an observation about occurrence of a phenomenon in life. It does not have a proof or validation for the experimental designing. It does not include verification of the values obtained after the experiment.

Explanation of Solution

The several hypotheses which do not negate the observation that the evolution of the monomers was the first basic stage of evolution in the origin of life include:

1)

Primordial soup hypothesis: This hypothesis included the formation of the metabolites from ammonia, urea and hydrogen in a liquid broth after stimulation from an electric discharge in the broth. It is also called as Oparin-Haldane hypothesis. This hypothesis was confirmed by Miller and Urey.

2)

Iron-sulfur hypothesis: This hypothesis was proposed by Gunter Wachtershauser and explained that the hydrothermal vents contain iron and nickel catalyze the reaction of elements like carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulphide. They derive the process for the formation of polymers from the basic monomer molecules.

3)

Protein first hypothesis: This hypothesis was proposed by Sidney Fox which included the formation of protein polypeptides from the amino acid, due to stimulation from sunlight.

Conclusion

The three hypotheses of primordial soup, iron-sulfur and protein first hypothesis confirmed that the evolution of life includes the formation of polymers from the monomers during evolution. These monomers are the first formed elements without controversy.

Kinetics: One-Compartment First-Order Absorption 1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple routes of administration provides greater insight than a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250-g rats following bolus IV, oral (PO), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.  Using this data and set of graphs, determine:(calculate for each variable) (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e)absolute ip bioavailability, Fip  (f) absolute po bioavailability, Fpo
3. A promising new drug is being evaluated in human trials. Based on preliminary human tests, this drug is most effective when plasma levels exceed 30 mg/L.  Measurements from preliminary tests indicate the following human pharmacokinetic parameter values:  t1/2,elim = 4.6hr, t1/2,abs = 0.34hr, VD = 0.29 L/kg, Foral = 72%.  Based on these parameters, estimate the following if a 49 kg woman were to receive a 1000mg oral dose of this drug: (a) Estimate the plasma concentration of the drug at 1hr, 6 hr, and 20hr after taking the drug ( Concentration estimate) (b) Estimate the time for maximum plasma concentration (tmax).  (c) Estimate the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax).  (d) Estimate the time at which the plasma level first rises above 30 mg/L.  (Note this is a trial and error problem where you must guess a time, plug it into the concentration equation, and determine if it is close to 30 mg/L.  Hint:  based on part (a) it should be apparent that the answer is less than 1hr.)  (e)…
