Not only are the kidneys considered organs of excretion, but they have an endocrine function as well as an important role in the

maintenance of homeostasis through the regulation of ion concentration.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

One of the edocrine processes the kidney is involved in is called the RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System) which is a signaling pathway involved in blood pressure control. It involves a number of hormones:

Angiotensinogen is produced by the liver in response tovarious inflammatory proteins

Renin is a protease produced by the kidneys in response tohypotension,

Angiotensin II increases blood pressure via a number of mechanisms:

Aldosterone acts to  increase reabsorption of Na+ and water and increase elimination of K+ and H+ in the distal tubules of the kidneys for ion concentration maintenance

Match the functional groups with their structures:
evablogger [386]
The true answer of your question is :

OH : HYDROXYL GROUP

NH2 : AMINO GROUP

CH3 : METHYL GROUP ( but in rather broader terms, that functional group of formula CnH2n+1 where n is an integer is called ALKYL GROUP where by substituting n by 1,2,3... we obtain methyl for n = 1, ethyl for n = 2, and propyl for n = 3 )

COOH : CARBOXYL GROUP is the correct answer since carbonyl is characterized by the presence of functional group C=O in general the formula of the compound would be
R-C=O-R’ where R and R’ are alkyl groups like methyl for example. However the carboxyl group could be thought of as a summation of carbonyl + hydroxyl ( CO + OH ) resulting thus in COOH.

I hope you’ll understand everything, anyway if not i’m always here to help. ♥️
