Nephrons

Nephrons are the basic structural and functional units of the kidneys.  Each of the kidneys contains over a million nephrons. Nephrons function by filtering blood and then removing needed substances from the filtrate before eliminating the remaining fluid that contains water, metabolic waste, and toxins.as urine. This process occurs through three stages which are ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption and osmoregulation.

In the cell, energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: B) energy released from exergonic reactions.  

Explanation:

Cell metabolism is the set of reactions that occur in the cellular environment to synthesize or degrade biomolecules to produce energy. Synthesis metabolism of biomolecules is known as anabolic (anabolism) and catabolic degradation (catabolism).

Endergonic reaction (product has more energy than reagents) and requires energy to occur. Anabolism occurs when the cell has sufficient energy or substrate. Catabolism, in turn, occurs in situations in which the body needs energy, such as between meals and fasting.

The reactions of anabolism and catabolism are opposite but occur in an articulated manner, allowing the maximization of available energy. Thus, while catabolism occurs spontaneously, an exergonic reaction with ATP production, anabolism is non-spontaneous, or endergonic, requiring energy to occur. In other words energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from B) energy released from exergonic reactions.
