Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Cancer drugs possible benefits should be explained and relative to those currently used for chemotherapy.
Concept introduction:
Chemotherapy: The use of anticancer drugs designed to slow or stop the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells in the human body, the drugs may use as primary treatment to destroy cancer cells.
Chemical substance used to kill the microorganism and cancer cell.
(b)
Interpretation:
In drug discovery phase I and phase II differences have to be classified.
Concept introduction:
Drug discovery: In the past most drugs have been discovered either by identifying the active ingredient traditional remedies (or) serendipitous discovery.
In recent approach has been understood how disease and infection are controlled at the molecular physiological level and the target specific entities based on this knowledge.
Chemotherapy: The use of anticancer drugs designed to slow or stop the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells in the human body, the drugs may use as primary treatment to destroy cancer cells. Before another treatment to shrink a tumor after another treatment to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

- You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc. The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.arrow_forwardM1V1 = M2V2 Helparrow_forwardHDPE and PS are both inert to bases and acids, which plastic would you rather chose to put 1 Liter of 6M HCl for general chemistry lab?

- Dr. X claims that she has found a new remedy (carrot extract) to cure acne. She scores an interview with the science writer for a local newspaper, and gets a brief article written about her and her claims in that newspaper. The article does not contain any experimental evidence, but mentions that Dr. X accidentally splashed some carrot extract on her face and found that the acne was reduced a few days later. Student Y finds the article and cites it as a source for a paper he is writing for class, as evidence that acne has been cured. (a) Is this finding a fact, a theory, a hypothesis, or an observation? Explain why you think so. (b) Was it OK for Student Y to use the newspaper article as evidence for his paper? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardThe most common chemical route of entry is: a. ingestion b. inhalation c. skin / eye contact d.
