Why is reabsorption important

Biology
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
5 0
<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>

What are three environmental factors that can influence plant phenotypes
sergij07 [2.7K]

The genotype describes the complete set of genes inherited by an individual, and the phenotype describes all aspects of the individual's morphology, physiology, behavior, and ecological relations. Light, water, temperature, soil structure are the environmental factors which influence the plant phenotype most. The growth is a very sensitive phenotypic trait that quickly responds to any sub-optimal environment. However, many more physiological responses occur that turn out in phenotypes that can be measured with non-invasive technology.

Carbon ______________ are processes that add carbon to the atmosphere. Carbon ______________ are processes that absorb carbon
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Carbon sources

Carbon sequestration

Explanation:

Carbon sources are regions that produces atmospheric carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is naturally added to the atmosphere when organisms respire, decompose, rocks with carbonate are weathered and volcanoes erupt.

Carbon sequestration is the process of taken and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. The method helps in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which in turn reduces global climate change.
