Answer:

Water is the most important element in our body and we need a constant supply of it to survive. Now in the scenario that you described is very important to make sure you boil the water because that is the best way to ensure that you killed any living organism (Virus, bacteria or parasites) that could endanger your life. So the answer to your question is A as it was said before but let me elaborate a little more.  

Explanation:

Many times, water is contaminated by mosquito or bacteria that can cause among other problems Dysentery. This is an inflammation of the intestines that cause a lot of pain and a bloody diarrhea. This bacteria is spread through water or food and in many third world countries is the main cause of death among the population. When you boil the water the bacteria is killed and the water is safe for drinking. If you ever learn of someone developing such symptoms and they claim to have drank unsafe water, suggest them to go to the doctor intermediately. Their life is at risk.

Answer:

Explanation:

Filtrate is formed as fluid is forced through the walls of the glomerulus and, initially, collects in the structure indicated by the letter B.

Urine formed by a kidney collects in the renal pelvis before being drained from the kidney by the urethra and transported to the urinary bladder.

The process by which glomerulus filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.

HELP??? How is convection in the mantle different from convection in the ocean?
Murrr4er [49]
