Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value being measured.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Accuracy

No measurement is completely accurate. There is always some degree of error in the measurements. The closeness of a measurement to the true value is called accuracy.  

Precision

Precision is how close measurements are to each other. Higher precision instruments allow the measurements to be very close to each other and give a better approximation of a measurement and increases the accuracy of the reading as well.  

Experimental errors are considered to ensure that the data or the method is accurate and reliable. The lower the experimental error, the more confidence we have that the measurement is near the true value. It also provides insight about how to optimize the method to yield better results.

Kinds of Experimental Error

Random error

Random errors are errors that are beyond the control of the experimenter. These are variations that happen by chance and may be reduced by performing multiple trials and averaging the results.

Systematic error

Errors incurred by the way the experiment was conducted are called systematic errors. Their effect cannot be reduced by doing more trials but by changing the design or the method used to obtain the results.

<span>Accuracy is the concept being studied here. Compared to precision, accuracy concerns how close to actually being "right" a value or measurement is. Precision, conversely, concerns how exact a measurement is (when using significant figures, decimal places, powers, or similar).</span>

In which main regions of the kidney are the glomerulus and the bowman’s capsule located?
docker41 [41]

Answer: The correct answer is cortex

Explanation:

The glomerulus and the bowman’s capsule are both located in the Cortex, one of the two main regions of the kidney, alongside the Medulla.

The glomerulus is a mass of blood capillaries linked to urinary tubule, while the Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure. The glomerulus filters materials such water, urea, glucose ET into the bowman's capsule in a process called ultrafiltration, a necessary step in urine formation.

Answer:

Closed the first one

In amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, blood flow is directed in two circuits: one through the lungs and back to the heart, which is called pulmonary circulation, and the other throughout the rest of the body and its organs including the brain (systemic circulation).

most mammals, have closed cardiovascular systems. The two main circulation pathways in invertebrates are the single and double circulation pathways.
