Storage of fat and removal of undigested food is not the function of kidneys.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs. They are located  below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine. Healthy kidneys filter half cup of blood every minute and removing wastes to make urine. The kidney is responsible for the secretion of excretory materials out of the body as they cause significant damage to the body's cells if not removed properly.

The kidneys remove excess organic molecules from the blood and functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid-base balance, and regulation of blood pressure. They act as a natural filter of the blood and remove water soluble wastes. The kidneys also produce several hormones.

The removal of undigested food is the function of the large intestine and not kidney. The functions of the kidneys are filtration of waste products from the blood and removal of excess water from the body. Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidney that promotes the  RBCs formation.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

In multicellular organisms, which begin their life with an egg or zygote cell, mitotic cell division is important in the development and maintenance of the various tissues, organs and systems that form it. The new cells caused by mitosis are genetically identical to the stem cell; This is achieved thanks to complex regulatory mechanisms that ensure the integrity of the genomic material and its proper segregation.

Explanation:

Segurine is important because it is responsible for keeping sequestered protease separase; when it is released, thanks to the degradation of segurin, the degradation of the cohesin that holds the sister chromatids together takes place. This cohesin allows chromosomal segregation, while degradation of cyclin results in the inactivation of CDK1 (cyclin dependent kinase).

When the alignment of the chromosomes does not satisfy the SAC (spindle assembly control point), the signal from non-anchored kinetocores induces protein recruitment to the control point. This signal leads to the formation of two independent complexes. The union of the two complexes will lead to the formation of a mitotic control complex. In this way, the segurin will not be marked for degradation and the separase will not be released and the chromosomes will not secrete until the requirements of the SAC are met.
