Chapter 2.3, Problem 14SR
Summary Introduction
To list: The properties of water that is important to human body functioning.
Introduction: Water is the essential element of the human body that accounts for 60% of the total body weight. A water molecule is shaped like a ‘V’ and consists of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen; thus, the shared electrons in the O-H covalent bond are more attracted by the oxygen atom.

In a natural population of outbreeding plants, the variance of the total number
of seeds per plant is 16. From the natural population, 20 plants are taken into
the laboratory and developed into separate true-breeding lines by self-
fertilization-with selection for high, low, or medium number of seeds-for 10
generations. The average variance in the tenth generation in each of the 20 sets
is about equal and averages 5.8 across all the sets. Estimate the broad-sense
heritability for seed number in this population. (4 pts)

- 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, Fpoarrow_forward3. 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.
