What will result in a decrease of gfr?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexxx [7]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Chronic kidney failure (or chronic kidney disease)

Explanation:

The main complication related to decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is chronic kidney failure (also known as chronic kidney disease).

In the first two stages of the disease (with GFR generally varying between 90ml/min to 60ml/min), it may go unnoticed. This occurs because it does not always present apparent symptoms during these phases (however, it may present hypertension from the first stage).

In the third stage of chronic kidney disease (with a GFR between 45 and 59), patients can usually present symptoms such as high blood pressure, fluid retention and changes in urinary pattern.

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?
galina1969 [7]
The primary function of the chloroplasts in a plant is to convert light from the sun into glucose and energy in a process that is known as photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the plant cells for incredibly important functions such as growth and repair, so the chloroplasts are amongst the most necessary parts of any plant.

Why do scientists need to study seismic waves to analyze the interior of the earth and the layers of the earth?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Answer 1:

Seismic waves, the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake can tell us a lot about the internal structure of the Earth because these waves travel at different speeds in different materials. There are two types of waves that travel through the Earth: p-waves and s-waves.

P- waves are faster and they can travel through both solids and liquids. S-waves are slower and cannot travel through liquids. For both kinds of waves, the speed at which the wave travels also depends on the properties of the material through which it is traveling.

Scientists are able to learn about Earth’s internal structure by measuring the arrival of seismic waves at stations around the world. For example, we know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it; when an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. Similarly, we know that the earth has a solid inner core because some p-waves are reflected off the boundary between the inner core and the outer core. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to travel along many different paths through the earth, we can figure out the velocity structure of the earth. Abrupt changes in velocity with depth correspond to boundaries between different layers of the Earth composed of different materials.
