Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When the water vapor content of a volume of gas equals its capacity, the RH is 100. When the RH is 100, a gas is fully saturated with water vapor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The BH of a gas is the ratio of its actual water vapor content to the water vapor capacity in saturated gas at body temperature (37 C). Thus BH is the same as RH, except that the capaci-ty (or denominator) is fixed at 43.8 mg/L.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.
