Maintaining homeostasis involves many processes. One of these includes the excretion of waste. Our kidneys work very hard to fil

ter blood of waste products and control how much water is kept in the body. The waste products and water make up urine. A dehydrated individual would have a concentrated urine that's a darker yellow in color than that of a healthy urine. Why is that?

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

As rightly said in this question, the kidney is the major excretory organ in our (human) system, which also helps maintain homeostatic balance between water and waste products. According to the question, the kidneys function to filter blood of waste products and control how much water is kept in the body.

Since urine is a mixture of the removed waste and water, a concentrated urine with a dark yellow color than normal indicates that the involved individual is DEHYDRATED i.e. low in water content of the body and hence needs water.

The urine of this dehydrated individual is this DARK YELLOWISH COLOUR because the kidney RETAINS THE SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER PRESENT IN THAT INDIVIDUALS BODY which ought to make the person's urine diluted, hence, the urine contains more of waste products (urea) and less of water, making it appear darker yellow than that of a healthy individual.

Does sustainability cause environmental pollution in plants
gladu [14]

Answer:Environmental pollution is any discharge of material or energy into water, land, or air that causes or may cause acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) detriment to the Earth's ecological balance or that lowers the quality of life. Pollutants may cause primary damage, with direct identifiable impact on the environment, or secondary damage in the form of minor perturbations in the delicate balance of the biological food web that are detectable only over long time periods.

Air pollution is the process which the substances and the energy forms are not present in normal atmospheric composition reach the atmosphere, or are present but in much lower concentrations.Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere.

More than 3,000 substances that are not part of the atmospheric composition, falling in the atmosphere can be considered air pollutants.

Some substances that are normally present in the atmosphere in a certain concentration can be considerate pollutants because their concentration is much higher than usual concentration.

Also certain substances that are normally present in certain layers of the atmosphere (e.g. ozone in the stratosphere), once arrived in the troposphere is pollutant.

Some gases, such as oxides of nitrogen may have beneficial effect on vegetation, after hydration may affect the leaf fertilizer.

The air pollutants factors can be chemical (chemicals), mechanics (particles in suspension) physical (ionizing radiation) and acoustic (noise).

This type of reproduction produces variety in species.
ruslelena [56]
Sexual Reproductions (i.e. Meiosis)


In Meiosis you have a crossing over stage in prophase I, which will result in the exchange of genetic material + the random assortment at metaphase 1 and 2 increases the variety.

There is approximately 10 billion different ways that a child can look from a mixture of the paternal and maternal genes due to all the random events that happen in meiosis/ sexual reproduction.
