Urine's specific gravity, which is somewhat greater than that of water, is a crucial physical property.

Characteristics of urine:

  • Osmolarity is typically harder to quantify than specific gravity, which measures the amount of solutes per volume of a solution. Because there are solutes in urine, its specific gravity is always higher than that of pure water (water = 1.0). Since specific gravity is a less precise predictor of urinary solutes, laboratories may now directly detect the osmolarity of urine.
  • Osmolarity, or mOsmol/L, is the measure of how many osmoles or milliosmoles are present in a litre of a fluid. The osmolarity of urine can range from 50 to 100 to 1200 mOsmol/L of water.

Therefore, it is concluded that the correct solution is an option (D), i.e., slightly higher than water.

The complete question is:

An important characteristic of urine is its specific gravity or density, which is ________.

A. the same as water

B. less than water

C. much higher than water

D. slightly higher than water

I believe you meant to say is this mistake called a base pair and if that is your question then no. it would be called Mutation. But you can double check that answer.

suter [353]
The answer is confirmation bias. This is the tendency to look for evidence that will confirm ones hypothesis and  ignoring anything else that does not lead to the hypothesis. In this situation confirmation bias is evident due to the fact that you look for anything that confirms your hypothesis and ignore anything else that does not point to drug abuse.

15. Explain how each of the following creates electrical energy:
olga_2 [115]
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity

in humans the sex cells sperm and egg contain 23 chromosomes. why is this number different than the number of chromosomes in all
kolezko [41]
The number is different than the number of chromosomes because us humans normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes which is a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell. A change in the number of chromosomes can cause problems with growth, development, and function of the body systems.
