Metabolic acidosis is when the kidneys produce too much hydrogen or retain too much hydrogen which leads to an increase in carbonic acid production. Or the kidneys excrete too much base.

<h3>What is metabolic acidosis?</h3>
  • The primary function of the kidney is to purge toxins from the blood and convert waste products into urine.
  • Around 160 grams of weight and one to one and a half litres of urine are excreted daily by each kidney.
  • When the kidneys do not properly eliminate acids from the blood into the urine, renal tubular acidosis (RTA) ensues.
  • The result is an excessively high blood acid level, or acidosis.
  • While having some blood acid is natural, having too much acid can cause numerous biological functions to become unbalanced.
  • When there is too much acid in the body's fluids, it is called acidosis.
  • When your kidneys and lungs are unable to maintain a healthy pH level in your body, acidosis results.
  • Acid is created by numerous bodily activities.

Convection in the upper mantle
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

D) movement of the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Lets understand first what convection is. It refers to the process through which denser material sinks and less dense material rises. This is because less dense material is more buoyant than denser one.

The earth is composed of water, rocks and air and all these things lower their density when there occurs an increase in their temperature.

So what happens when convection occurs in the upper mantle of earth, it raises the less dense material called magma  in uprising direction, because of the extreme heat in the Earth’s core. When molten lava moves upwards it moves in a fashion of convection, but then it cools down and sinks again.

As the earth surface is made up of tectonic plates. Scientists believe that when convection occur in mantle layer, it causes the movement of plates, This movement can be away from, or towards each other. The movement of tectonic plates causes shifts continents, ocean basins, earthquakes and pushes up mountains.


So D is best option.

Hope it helps!

Why do land plants need to conserve water
erastova [34]

Answer: Some arid-climate plants are able to conserve water because of their reduced leaf size. Less leaf surface area results in reduced water loss through the epidermis. Small leaves have fewer stomata than larger leaves, and that adaptation also reduces water loss.

Which statement correctly compares protists to prokaryotes?
4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer is D

<u>Explanation:</u>

1- Most of the protists and all Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms.  

2- Prokaryotes lack a proper nucleus and other membrane-bounded organelles while protists have membrane-bounded nuclei and other organelles.

3- Protists have cytosol where most of the organelles are found.

4- Protists don't have a cell wall while prokaryotes have a cell wall that acts as an extra protection layer. The cell wall of the protists shapes their body.

zysi [14]
Very, very rare. Uranium used in power plants is typically only 3% U-235 (the explosive stuff), while bomb-grade uranium is nearly pure U-235. Simply, the concentration of U-235 in reactor-grade uranium is too small to start a chain reaction and detonate like a bomb.
