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).

Where would contour farming and terraces be most likely to be found? a. On flat, expansive grasslands b. In wetlands c. On hilly

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

C. On hilly, mountainous farmland.

Explanation:

[] Terrace farming is where the slope is shifted to create a flat area for growing that also provides the ability to catch water.

[] Contour farming means that the fields suit the natural shape of the slope without changing it.

Both of these farming methods most likely would be found where there are slopes and inclines, the only option providing us with this is "C" which gives us our answer.

Have a nice day!

What type of tissue protects bones in joints by preventing friction?

Daniel [21]

<span>the bones of fibrous joints are joined by fibrous tissue, such as the sutures in the skull or the pelvis. Fibrous joints allow no movement at all. he bones of synovial joints meet in a joint capsule, such as the knee joint where the femur and tibia meet. These joints are the most common and most moveable joints in the human body</span>

How does a polymer form

liq [111]

Answer:

When many molecules of a simple compound join together, the product is termed a polymer and the process polymerization. The simple compounds whose molecules join together to form the polymers are called monomers. The polymer is a chain of atoms, providing a backbone, to which atoms or groups of atoms are joined.
