Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct formula for determining the rate of production or mass flow of a substance in the body is given by multiplying the concentration of the substance by the volume flow rate (volume per minute). This formula captures how much of the substance is being moved or produced per unit time, considering both its concentration and the volume in which it is contained or transported.
