THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM

Answer: The attachment shows the nephron which is the functional unit of the kidney.

It does the work of urine formation through 3 distinct processes.

-Ultra filtration( Small molecules are forced out of the selectively permeable membrane of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule under regulated pressure.these molecules are from the blood in the glomerulus brought in by the afferent arteriole.

- Selective reabsorption ( Useful molecule and iron such as glucose and sodium are reabsorbed back into the blood as the filtrate flows through the tubule(nephron)

-Tubular Secretion. ( Movement of molecules not filtered by the glomerulus during the initial stage of filtration back into the filtrate through the renal capillaries.

Stella's urine sample shows the presence of large protein (ULTRAFILTRATION)

John's blood test report indicates a high toxin level ( ULTRAFILTRATION AND TUBULAR SECRETION)

Miguel's blood test shows an increase in metabolic waste( ULTRAFILTRATION AND TUBULAR SECRETION)

Janice's urine report shows the presence of vital materials ( SELECTIVE REABSORPTION).

What assumption can be made if a twin-study design project reveals that the correlation between identical twins on a given trait

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Several assumptions can be made using these results. The one of the main assumption is that these result prove the higher similarity among identical twins then of those who are fraternal. This is because the identical twins share mostly same amount of genome from both parents as a single zygote that is fertilized by one sperm divides into two. On the other hand, all fraternal are dizygotic. It means that there were two eggs that were fertilized by two totally different sperms. They do not share any of characteristics but may share some with parents.

Describe the importance of relating medical devices to human anatomy and physiology

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

With a foundation of anatomy and physiology, you will have the building blocks to make the proper decisions and provide accurate and quality care. Of course, the study of anatomy and physiology is not static. New innovations in science and medicine change our understanding of the human body all the time.

Which term refers to the ecological niche of

mixas84 [53]

The answer is (1) decomposer.

(2): Herbivores are animals that consume plants, such as rabbits or deer.
(3): Producers are usually the plants in an ecosystem.
(4): Scavengers are animals that feed off of the remains of other animals already killed by something else (like how a vulture will eat the meat off of dead gazelles after a lion finishes)

(1) decomposer is correct because bacteria and fungi often slowly consume or decompose dead organic material from plants and animals from the ecosystem.

A common type of DNA damage from UV light results in:

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The damage to DNA usually occurs where there are two consecutive thymine nucleotides on a DNA strand. The energy from the UV light causes the two dimers to form a cyclobutane pyrimidine structure. Proofreading and repair mechanism of DNA find it difficult to repair this kind of damage on DNA. During replication, therefore, DNA polymerase is unable to replicate this region hence leading to a mutation on the replicated strand at this local point.
