You are a scientist studying the metabolism and excretion of a new drug called X-79S. Patients who take one dose of X-79S daily maintain average levels of 0.01 milligram (mg) of the drug per milliliter (ml) of their plasma. Since our kidneys filter about 100 ml of our plasma every minute, 1 mg of X-79S enters each patient's nephrons each minute through filtration. When you test the patients' urine, you find that every hour (60 minutes) they are excreting 70...
