Solution Summary

The Dose-response relationship describes the change in effect on an organism caused by differing levels of exposure (or doses) to a stressor (usually a chemical). This may apply to individual or to populations.

    The higher the dose, the greater the response. 8) What is the impact on this relationship if there is more than one effect of a chemical?

  • Fatal dose

    The conversion equation is as follows: (1mg/10^6 pg) x (0.7 pg) = 0.7x10^-6 In order to reach a lethal dose an organism would have to consume 0.001 mg per kg of body weight.

  • Dose-Response Information Learned

    In contrast to a dose response curve for an individual, in a quantal dose-response curve, the percent of population producing the desired response is plotted on the y-axis and the drug dose is plotted on the x-axis.

  • Environmental Studies

    Thresholds exist for dose-response data. The dose amount is increased until an effect is determines. When high levels are administered and there is an effect and the lowest level administered and it's effect. This determines the threshold.

  • Gene Mutation Types

    Once this dose is determined the organism can be exposed to a sub-lethal dose and then sequenced to determine if any mutations have occurred.
