Red Blood Cell Partitioning It is critical to understand a drug’s potential for partitioning in situations where the test drug has a high Log P (lipophilic). In this case, a large portion of the drug may be taken up and held by red blood cells (RBCs). For this reason, more informative data describing drug distribution in the blood can be obtained by measuring both the blood partitioning ratios and direct protein binding. When the comprehensive knowledge of protein binding and blood partitioning is understood, investigators can make a better determination about appropriate biological fluid, either whole blood, plasma, or serum should be collected to analyze the pharmacokinetic behavior of the drug.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

1) what three conditions must be present for minerals to form through natural processes? 2) why are minerals considered inorganic substances? 3) how do oxides differ from other minerals that contain oxygen atoms? 4) how is a sulfide different from a sulfate? what makes native elements unique?
