Answer to Question 1

C
Electrolytes are measured in milliequivalents: 1 milliequivalent of any electrolyte is equal to 1 milliequivalent of hydrogen.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
