12 mg

Explanation:

The given says it is 10 mg per square meter. If the child is 1.2 square meters, you can solve this by merely multiplying the two figures.

10 x 1.2 = 12 mg

If you want to see how the units cancel out, you can do this also:

$1.2 m^2 \times \dfrac{10mg}{m^{2}} = 1.2 \times 10mg = 12 mg$

Added info!

Drug dose needs to be very specific and also needs to be appropriate for the bsa or weight of the patient. Some drugs can have very strong reactions and an overdose can be deadly. On the other hand, if you give them less than what is required, it may not be effective anymore.

plasma membrane - building's walls

all cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which protects the cell from its environment, keeping toxic substances out of the cell. it regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

nucleus - the big boss

regulates all cell activity such as cellular metabolism, and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell's dna for transcription and replication. determines what proteins to make.

cytoplasm - working areas

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

endoplasmic reticulum - engineer's work area

the place where ribosomes do their working activity.

ribosomes - engineers

builds the proteins.

golgi apparatus - pickup truck drivers

prepares proteins for use or export.

lysosomes - investigators

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

cytoskeleton - renovators

maintains cell shape.

mitochondria/chloroplasts - materials scientist

transforms one form of energy into another.

the dna molecules have a negative charge because of the phosphate groups in their sugar-phosphate backbone, so they start moving through the matrix of the gel towards the positive pole. power is turned on and dna fragments migrate through gel (towards the positive electrode).

The empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to a ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.
