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.

When earth completes a full rotation, how much time has elapsed?
DIA [1.3K]

The answer is; 24 hours.

Scientists called the full rotation of the earth a day and divided it into 24 hours on the clock. This means from sunrise to next sunrise. They also divided the earth into latitudes that indicate time zones. When one point on earth rotates and return to the same position in space, it has lapsed 24 hours.
