Answer:

C) vitamin supplements can reverse degenerative changes

Explanation:

Vitamin A is required for the formation of light-sensitive pigments in photoreceptors of the retina. Prolonged vitamin A deficiency causes a much-reduced level of rhodopsin resulting in night blindness. Also called nyctalopia, night blindness is an inability to see well at low light levels. Some of the rich sources of vitamin A are cod liver oil, milk, broccoli, eggs, etc. However, taking supplements and eating vitamin A rich food in the diet can reverse the condition.

How might the events that have occurred upstream at the glomerulus affect Starling forces so that they promote fluid uptake into

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:A-

For Glomerular filtration rate, Increased blood volume and increased blood pressure will increase .

Constriction in the afferent arterioles going into the glomerulus and dilation of the efferent arterioles coming out of the glomerulus will decrease.

B- decreases both blood flow and filtration pressure where as constricting the efferent arteriole decreases blood flow but increases filtration pressure

The fact that both can be altered allows independent regulation of both GFR and blood flow.

How does the fossil record help scientists understand the process of evolution?

artcher [175]

Answer: Fossil records help provide clues to the history of Earth's organisms. They've have given scientists clues needed to determine a present day organism's ancestry by comparing them with fossils. Fossil records also show that life has evolved from simple to complex; for example, fossils deeper into the ground (older ones) are much more simple than the ones at the top (newer ones), again supporting the idea of evolution. Fossils additionally show us how behaviors have evolved, how long individuals lived, and how features evolved over time.
