Bacterial Endotoxin Limit (EL) is defined as EL=K/m, where K=5 Endotoxin Units (EU) kg of the body weight or 5 EU/kg/hr;m= maximun bolus dose of a product, and the average human body weight is 70kg.The maximun Valid Dilution (MVD) of a product is equal to (EL x Concentration of the product)/sensivity of the lysate

Find the EL for a product whose maximun pediatric dose is 4 mg/ml/kg and concentration is 20mg/ml. Expressthe EL in EU/ml and EU/mg

If the sensivitty of the lysate is EU/ml, the Endotoxin soecification per monograph is EU/mg, the maximun bolus dose is 1ug/kg/min and the concentration is 0.2mg/ml.CAn the monograph specification be used as the Endotoxin limit? Explain

Calculate the MVD based on problem #2

As we try to define life, we believe that O2, which is so pervasive in the environment, is fundamentally necessary to sustain life.  Clostridium & Streptococcus are both catalase-negative bacteria, but only Streptococcus grows by fermentation. Why then is Clostridium killed by O2, whereas Streptococcus is not?

Lamarck, in part, based his erroneous theory of evolution on the passing of acquired characteristics from one generation to the next. Darwin’s theory is based on the passing of inherited genetic characteristics from one generation to the next. Determine which of the characteristics listed below are acquired, inherited or involve both acquired and inherited

Explain your choices.

1. Increased proficiency in playing the clarinet: acquired or inherited or both

2. Thick subcutaneous fat layer in arctic seals: acquired or inherited or both

3. Attaining a height of two meters in humans: acquired or inherited or both

4. Grizzly bears hibernating during the winter: acquired or inherited or both

1. Which of the following groups of allosteric effectors are all sensors of an energy poor status in the cell?

Group of answer choices

a.cAMP, CoASH, ADP

b.ATP, NADH, acetyl CoA

2. Which one of the following statements about gluconeogenesis in mammals is false?

a.It consists entirely of the reactions of glycolysis, operating in the reverse direction.

b.It requires metabolic energy (ATP or GTP).

c. It can use amino acids as starting material.

d. The pathway includes the liver enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase.

3. Which of the following is true of mammalian glycogen synthase?

It catalyzes addition of (α1 ⟶⟶ 4) linked glucose residues to the nonreducing end of a glycogen chain.

PKA activation of glycogen synthase requires phosphorylation of one or more amino acids.

The enzyme binds F2,6 bisphosphate (F26BP).

cAMP is an allosteric effector that binds and inhibits glycogen synthase.

c.AMP, NAD+, CoASH

d. Acetyl CoA, AMP, NAD+

4. If a cell is actively fluxing only phases I (oxidative) and II (isomerase) of the pentose phosphate pathway, which of the following statement most accurately describes the physiological status of the cell from the information given?
