In the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls. This implies the correct answer is glomerulus

The glomerulus tuft carries out the first stage in blood filtration in the kidney.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The glomerulus is a network of capillaries (small vessels) that are surrounded by the glomerular capsule (also known as Bowman’s capsule) where urine is filtered. This network of small blood vessels is also known as tuff and is situated at the beginning of the nephron within the kidney. Structurally, the tuff is supported by mesangial cells and it is also made up of tubes with a central lumen.

The major responsibility of the glomerulus is to filter blood plasma and generate glomerular filtrate. The produced glomerular filtrate then moves down through the nephron (which is the functional part of the kidney) tubule to form urine.

However, the glomerulus gets its blood supply from the afferent arterioles, that is, the blood that is present in the glomerular capillaries is made possible by an afferent arteriole and not venule.  The afferent arterioles control the free flow of blood in the glomerulus.

Therefore, in the glomerulus a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls.

In the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls.
<span><span>
The glomerulus receives its blood supply  (that need to be filtered) from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation and the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles. The glomerular filtration rate is a rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli.</span> </span>

What will occur when the carrying capacity for humans is met?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

In other words, there is a carrying capacity for human life on our planet. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species an environment can support indefinitely. Every species has a carrying capacity, even humans. However, it is very difficult for ecologists to calculate human carrying capacity.

Differentiate between Angiosperms and gymnosperm​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Angiosperms are vascular plants bearing the seeds in fruits or mature ovaries whilst gymnosperms are other types of the plant which bears the seeds directly on the sporophylls but without any cover.

Explanation:

Examples of gymnosperms include cypress,pine, redwood, spruce and ginkgo.

Examples of angiosperms include apple, banana,peach, cherry and orange.

Also, angiosperms are seeds producing flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed within an ovary.

Gymnosperms are also seeds producing non flowering plants whose seeds are unenclosed.

Hope it helps.

The diagram shows the process of meiosis. How many divisions are required to decrease chromosome numbers and produce gametes?
Tresset [83]

The right answer is 2 divisions.

Meiosis follows the replication of DNA from a reproductive cell (male or female). It allows the passage of a so-called diploid mother cell to 2n chromosome homologous chromosomes to 4 single-chromosome haploid daughter cells. For that it must pass by two successive divisions, the first division is reductionelle generating two diploid cells with n chromosomes. the second division is equational giving 4 haploid cells to n chromosomes from the two preceding cells.

PLEASE ANSWER I NEED THE ANSWERS!!!
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

1: 7.8 cm

2: .7 cm

3: 5.55 cm

For the other questions, you have to use a ruler yourself and measure using cm. :)

1 cm = 10 millimeter. To convert, just add a 0 to the end of cm to find the mm (or move the decimal one place to the right.)

For example, 2.6 cm = 26 mm / 5 cm = 50 mm. Hope this helps!
