The answer would be the ozone layer. <span>A layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere absorbs </span>UV radiation<span> and </span>prevents<span> most of it from </span>reaching<span> the </span>Earth<span>. ... This means that more </span>ultraviolet radiation<span> can pass through the atmosphere to the </span>Earth's<span> surface, particularly at the poles and nearby regions during </span>certain<span> times of the year.

I hope that this helped you! Good luck. :)</span>

_______ is a brain-imaging technique that shows us precisely which areas of the brain are active at a particular moment in time;
expeople1 [14]
The answer is "PET scan" or "PET-CT". 

PET scan or positron emission tomography uses the technology behind conventional CT scans but performs to quantify the function in specific parts of organs (i.e. brain). The patient will be given a positron emitting substance most commonly fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG via intravenous injection. After which, the patient will go to the PET machine and the PET machine will measure the positron emitted throughout the body. Positron is well correlated to the function of a specific part of an organ.

What is the function of RBC
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it contracts as water is drawn out of the cell and into the surrounding solution. If the same blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the blood cell grows in size. Blood cells in isotonic solutions do not shrink or swell.

The reason that blood cells change in size when placed in a solution with different salt concentration is due to the osmosis process. Osmosis causes solutions with high concentrations of salt to draw water from areas with low concentrations of salt.

There are some exceptions to this phenomenon. Blood cells can draw water and explode when placed in hypertonic solution on some special occasions. Some diseases affect the structural integrity of blood cells. Also, when human blood cells are exposed to temperatures close to freezing, they can draw water and explode.

Osmosis is an important phenomenon for living systems. The amount of salt in a given solution exhibits a tendency to diffuse through the environment, eventually resulting in equilibrium. In addition to blood cells, the kidneys function through the use of osmotic principles. The kidneys filter an animal's blood to remove excess salt and balance the amount of water
