(a)
Introduction: Osmolarity refers to the number of particles in solution. It is a property of every solution, and a person can be compared with the osmolarities of different solutions as long as with the concentrations that are expressed in the same units.
(b)
To determine: Whether the cell volume of the body will decrease or increase or remain unchanged after sweat loss.
Introduction: The term tonicity is used to describe a solution and how that solution would affect the cell volume.
(c)
To determine: The volume and osmolarity of the cell after the sweat loss.
Introduction: Osmolarity describes the number of osmotically active particles (ions or molecules) per liter of solution. It is expressed in osmoles per liter or for very dilute solutions, milliosmoles per liter.
To determine: Whether the result for change in cell volume and osmolarity of the body matches with the above answers.
Introduction: Osmolarity and cell volume are interrelated. If the osmolarity of the cell increases, there is loss of water from the cell which decreases the cell volume.

- 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
