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

Why are mitochondria bigger in animal cells
Greeley [361]
When you think about the main purpose of mitochondira (to produce energy; an easy idea how to remember the function of mitochondria in our bodies is to imagine them as energy factories or power plants) it becomes easy to understand why.

Animals (including us) move a lot more compared to plants. For movement you need energy and energy needs to be produced in our bodies in order for us to be able to move. Therefore, we have mitochondria that are bigger. Not only that, animal cells usually also have more mitochondria. All of this is probably done to keep up with the increased energy demands that moving organisms have.

What 3 things is supported by evolution
Anika [276]
Fossil record- species evolve differently in different environments . different species evolve similarly in the same type of environment
homologous structures of living organisms- 2 variations; similar body structures that don't necessarily have similar functions
homologous- diff mature forms but develop from embryonic tissues
vestigial- similar structures with reduced size and lesser or no functions
embryology- early stages of many animals are very similar- suggesting that organisms share common ancestry
