The state of health and functioning of the liver is often assessed with dye-tracer techniques. The dye used most frequently is bromosulfophthalein (abbreviated BSP). With normal function liver, the dye will be removed from circulation after it is conjugated with cysteine or glutathione (which happens in the liver) following a first order kinetics k=0.5 hr-1 at 37°C. The usual clinical procedure is to have a single injection to the blood and then to measure the amount remaining in the liver after a certain period of time. Liver function is assessed by comparing the experimental value with the range of normal values. Assuming the flow of the dye from the blood stream to liver is donor control and of linear relationship (k12= 1 hr-1 ).1) Identify the engineering principles needed to solve this problem.2) Develop the differential equations to describe the amount of drug in each compartment 3) Clearly state your assumptions 4) Find the amount of the dye in the liver 1 hours after an injection of 10 mg of the dye into the blood stream 5) If the amount of the dye in the liver is determined to be 4.0 mg after 1 hour of injection. What can potentially go wrong with this patient?

Select all the correct answers. which statements fail to meet the requirements of a scientific claim? 1 even though evidence indicates that the solar system's planets follow elliptical paths, copernicus's model involving circular orbits is true. 2 the evidence supporting newton's laws of motion was accurate in newton's time, but the universe operates differently today. 3 flowers that reflect the most ultraviolet light are more likely to attract bees and other pollinators than flowers that reflect less ultraviolet light. 4 in the final 100 meters of a 10,000-meter race, an athlete's speed is more strongly related to anaerobic efficiency than to aerobic efficiency.

Examine the two squirrel populations in the accompanying figure. the populations are separated by a geographic barrier. if after a long period of time the two species are no longer separated, what evidence is needed to determine if speciation has occurred? the figure shows two populations of squirrels separated by a geographic barrier. examine the two squirrel populations in the accompanying figure. the populations are separated by a geographic barrier. if after a long period of time the two species are no longer separated, what evidence is needed to determine if speciation has occurred? the figure shows two populations of squirrels separated by a geographic barrier. polyploidy is creating new species. the two populations are not interbreeding freely. hybrid offspring of the two populations begin to appear. one species will increase into a population size twice as large as the other species.
