Jonathan used the following soil triangle to identify a sample of soil as sandy clay.
1 answer:
The description of soil according to Jonathan is as follows:
- Mostly large grains, with a gritty texture, 45% sand, 5% clay, and 45% silt ---- Silty loam soil.
- Mostly large grains, with a sticky texture, 55% sand, 40% clay, and 5% silt ----- Sandy clay soil.
- Mostly small grains, with a sticky texture, 30% sand, 50% clay, and 20% silt ----- Clay soil.
- Mostly small grains, with a smooth texture, 30% sand, 5% clay, and 65% silt ----- Silty loam soil.
Soil texture may be defined as a classification of soil on the basis of its physical appearance, texture, and properties.
In this question, the texture and composition of other soil are illustrated briefly with respect to each common soil type.
Therefore, it is well described above.

What are the nephron?
Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney. There are about two million nephrons in each of our kidneys. Each nephron has a network of glomelural capillaries called glomerulus where blood filtration occurs, and the renal tabule which is where the filtered fluid is converted to urine.
How they work?
The nephrons act as a filter, cleaning our blood. Unwanted metabolites like urea and creatinine are taken from the blood, as well as high amounts of sodium. The filtered fluid flows from inside Bowman's capsule (epithelial cells surrounding the glomerulus) and from there into the proximal tubule (see attached figure at the end). From the tubule, fluid flows into several other ducts until it reaches the ducts where collectors will empty into the renal pelvis.
