Since there are no given choices, I would just compare and contrast DNA and RNA. These are the two types of nucleic acids in the human body. The structural unit of nucleic acids are composed of repeating units of monomers called nucleotides. Nucelotides are composed of three functional groups: sugars which are specifically pentoses (5-Carbon sugars), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

Now, the RNA and DNA differ in the composition of these sugars and the bases. Based on the nitrogenous bases and sugar, the DNA has a deoxyribose as the sugar and its 4 bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. For RNA, the sugar is ribose while its 4 bases are <span>adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

They also differ in their structure. </span>DNA is a double stranded β-helix with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is composed of a shorter chain with a single strand α-helix structure.

Lastly, they differ in their functions. T<span>he DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information while the RNA is responsible for transporting the genetic information to the ribosomes which synthesize proteins.</span>

lidiya [134]

The matching of each situation to the step in the urine formation process where the problem lies are as follows:

  • Step 1: Stella's urine contains protein due to inadequate filtration.
  • Step 2: High toxin levels in the blood are due to Secretion.
  • Step 3: Increased Metabolic wastes are due to inadequate Reabsorption.
  • Step 4: The presence of vital Vitamins in urine is due to inadequate Reabsorption.

Thus, Step 1 belongs to filtration, Step 2 belongs to secretion, and Steps 3 and 4 belong to reabsorption.

<h3>What is the important function of Nephron?</h3>

The important function of the nephron may include the removal of all waste products through urine, secretion of numerous substances, excess water from the blood, etc.

Therefore, it is well described above.
