Afferent arteriole dilation in response to a fall in blood pressure increases the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

An essential component of renal function, glomerular filtration aids in the removal of waste products and the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. Equation GFR = Kf × net filtration pressure, where Kf is the filtration coefficient, yields the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The renal artery pressure, afferent and efferent arteriolar resistance, and the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure all have an impact.

GFR rises as a result of an increase in glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure and a decrease in resistance in the afferent arteriolar diameter. The opposite happens when the afferent arteriole's diameter is reduced. GFR rises in response to an increase in renal artery pressure. The reverse outcome will occur if renal artery pressure (or renal blood flow) is decreased.

Why does exposure to high temperatures cause an enzyme to lose its biological properties?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Shape of active site changes that's why

Enzymes are affected by temperature. So, as temperature increases, enzymes activities also increases, till optimum temperature is reached. If it goes above the optimum temp, the enzymes becomes denatured or can't function anymore due to change in its active site.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Photosynthesis produces: glucose and $O_{2}$

...from $CO_{2}$ , energy (light) and $H_{2} O$

Respiration produces: energy (ATP), $CO_{2}, H_{2} O$

....from glucose and $O_{2}$

Explanation:

These end products, namely $O_{2}$ and glucose are then used in respiration...

Using energy in the form of solar energy, plants, phytoplankton, algae, and other microorganisms produce chemical energy via photosynthesis. This complex mechanism is central to these species.

They combine light energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide.

6 $CO_{2}$ + 6 $H_{2} O$ + (energy) → $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ + 6 $O_{2}$

In the mechanism of cellular respiration, organisms extract energy from food. Sugars in the form of glucose are broken down into carbon dioxide and water during aerobic respiration in mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

<h3> $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} _{\to \$ $6CO_{2} + H_{2} O + energy (ATP)$ </h3>

The waste products, $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ , result from respiration, these are used as reactants in the photosynthetic process. In turn, its products are the reactants $O_{2}$ and $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ in respiration.
