Answer: 1,2,3

Explanation:

1. One of the major function of the kidney is to excrete metabolic waste. When the blood is perfused through the Bowman's capsule, an ultrafiltrate of the blood is produced in the glomerulus, the filtrate in Bowman's capsule contains salt, glucose, amino acids, nitrogenous waste, etc while the cells and proteins are retained in the blood. The waste are excreted as urine or uric acid.

2. One of the function of the renal tubule is to maintain fluid and electrolytes balance. When the glomerulus filtrate is formed, it contains almost all the crystalloids of plasma which includes water, Na+, Cl-, glucose, amino acid and K+. The renal tubule reabsorb water and solute to the blood to maintain water and electrolytes balance.

3. The kidney secrete a hormone Renin, which control other hormones angiotensin and aldosterone that helps to control blood pressure.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!One of the central themes in biology is how DNA, RNA, and proteins are related. Describe how genetic information
Anna007 [38]
 <span>DNA contains the code for all an organism's protein. Since many of the organism's structures, processes, and growth depend on protein the DNA is central to the well being of all organisms. In eukaryotes, the DNA is locked up in the nucleus. The area of the cell where proteins are made is in the cytosol (ribosomes). In order for the protein to be made the DNA has to produce a copy of the blueprint m-RNA. This messenger RNA will take the code to the ribosome. The process by which m-RNA is made is called transcription. A-U, C-G base pairing rules. Once on the ribosome another RNA comes into play t-RNA. This is called transfer RNA. Here it will take an amino acid and place it in the correct order to produce the desired protein. This is called translation. It begins with a start co don AUG. and ends with a stop codon. The protein will then go to the Golgi apparatus and be formed into its final shape.
