<span>Computed Topography, which is abbreviated CT, is a diagnostic technique that beams ionizing x-rays at multiple angles around a specific section of the body to detect disease. I knew that this was a CT scan because unlike other common diagnostic techniques like magnetic resonance imaging CT scans utilized ionizing x-rays. MRIs conversely utilize radio waves.</span>

The rate of kidney filtrate formation would normally be dependent upon all of the following factors except __________.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The correct option is BLOOD CALCIUM LEVEL.

Explanation:

The options attached to this question are given below:

A. Filtration membrane integrity

B. Systemic blood pressure

C. Blood calcium level

D. Renal artery/arteriole diameters

Kidney is an excretory organ, which functions by filtering waste products out of the blood. The rate at which the kidneys filter the blood depend on some factors; such factors include: water intake, systemic blood pressure, vasoconstriction, dehydration, filtration membrane integrity etc.

Blood calcium level does not have any effect on the rate at which the kidneys filter the blood.

1. Would the pollution problems caused by cars and trucks be completely solved if they all became electrically powered overnight
givi [52]

Answer:

1.This doesn't help COMPLETELY get rid of pollution. It might help lessen the pollution, but it definitely won't solve it, because there are also other things that cause pollution.

2.The main problem with solar power that has stifled its use is the fact that energy production only takes place when the sun is shining. And it won't be beneficial to the countries that aren't really close to the equator ( the middle east) and that might be a problem cause there just might not be enough energy/electricity.

Temperature inversions occur naturally in the stratosphere and thermosphere, but also occur closer to the surface of earth in th
skelet666 [1.2K]

Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.  

When there is an increase in temperature with altitude that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.

So how air circulation behaves during inversion?

So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:

• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.  

• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.

• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.  

• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.

Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.

Hope it helps! :)
