Chapter 2, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason that beetle does not get harmed by chemicals it stores and how it carries out the explosive discharge or irritating chemicals.
Introduction: Bombardier beetles can be found on ground. It inhabits all the places except Antarctica. It is a carnivorous insect. The bombardier beetle sprays a hot liquid in the case of danger. This is a defense mechanism that protects it from predators. The liquid contains irritating chemicals that can be fatal to its enemies.

4. A patient with febrile illness is instructed to administer metemizole sodium. This medication has an established dose of 25mg/kg/dose, the concentration of the drug is 1g/5ml.
a) Calculate the dose to be administered and the dose volume for a patient weighing 6kg.
b) Calculate the dose to be administered and the dose volume for a patient weighing 13kg.
Biologically, how expensive are you? The elements that make up the typical adult body can be purchased from chemical supply companies for about $3,000-$4,000. However, each of those elements must be chemically bonded to together to produce the complex biological molecules of life (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids). Using sophisticated laboratory equipment, highly trained scientists can synthesize these complex biological molecules from basic elemental building blocks, but this costs millions of dollars!Consider the differences in worth between the elemental and biomolecular components of life. Explain the difference in terms of the characteristics of life.
Living beings are made of organic and inorganic substances. According to the complexity of their molecules how can each of those substances be classified?
