for the drug escitalopram which has a half life of 27-32 hours

what is it mechanism of actions, the pharmacokinetics, it therputic use and adverse affects of escitalopram

molecular target of escitalopram

explain full mechanism of action of escitalopram

• • What does escitalopram do at the molecular level?
  • What does escitalopram do at the cellular level?
  • What does the escitalopram at the tissue/organ level?
  • What does this mean for the overall effect on the body? (i.e. What is the systemic effect?)?
• Describe ONE therapeutic use for escitalopram, and explain why it is used for the treatment of this condition.
• Identify ONE adverse effect of escitalopram that is directly related to its mechanism of action. Explain why this adverse effect occurs.
• Based on escitalopram half life of 27-32 hours:
  • Calculate how long it takes to eliminate 95% of a single dose of your drug from the body. Provide the range of values and the equation used.
  • From the given pharmacokinetics parameter, explain which elimination model the drug is likely to follow.

    c. Basidium     

3. Ascomycota produce what type of spore during asexual reproduction?

4. What kind of reproduction is used by the zygomycota?

5. A student is observing fruiting bodies. If the spores are projecting from a club-shaped structure, the fungus is a _________.    If the spores are produced within a saclike structures, the fungus is a ________.

2. You're a beta fish breeder and have noticed that you have a few fish that display a totally novel ruby red coloring pattern. This ruby red color has since become is very popular in your Etsy store, but you are STRUGGLING to develop a purebreeding strain. Like, every time two ruby red betas are crossed, you end up with a fair number of ruby reds, but still a significant number of betas featuring the standard-type coloration. In your most recent ruby red x ruby red mating attempt, you ended up with 57 ruby red betas and 28 standard betas. All other such matings gave similar phenotypic offspring ratios. Explain what's going on here. (<4 sentences)

Briefly describe the three stages of wastewater treatment.

given that proteins are manufactured by ribosomes and (in eukaryotes) are often subsequently dumped into the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (e.r.), what problems might transmembrane proteins present in terms of shuttling them to their appropriate location?
