Answer:

Attaching letters to the options to make the question readable:

A. If metabolic alkalosis exists, the kidneys slow their acid excretion.

B. If metabolic alkalosis exists, the kidneys slow their acid retention.

C.  If metabolic acidosis exists, the kidneys slow their acid excretion.

D. If metabolic acidosis exists, the kidneys increase their acid retention

The correct answer to the question above is option A (If metabolic alkalosis exists, the kidneys slow their acid excretion.)

Explanation:

Metabolic acidosis is a condition where there is an alteration in the acid-base balance in the blood. Here, as the name implies, a high level of acid than necessary are found in the blood as a product of metabolism caused by an increase in acid production, failure of acid to be expelled in the kidney.  

Metabolic alkalosis is a condition where there is high level of alkaline in the blood than the body requires. Metabolic alkalosis occurs when the kidney is unable to excrete excessive alkaline in the blood and when there is too few acid-producing hydrogen ions present.

Kidneys fight metabolic acidosis by balancing acid levels in the blood by removing excessive acid in the blood through urine. It is also possible for the body to expel volatile acids through the lungs in the form of exhaled air.

Ways kidneys work to neutralize metabolic acidosis, ls If metabolic acidosis exists, the kidneys increase their acid excretion.

Ways kidneys work to neutralize metabolic alkalosis, is If metabolic alkalosis exists, the kidneys slow their acid excretion and increase their alkaline excretion or slow their alkaline retention.

<u>The resting </u><u>membrane</u><u> potential would become </u><u>more positive</u><u> because researchers are taking negatively charged molecules out of the cell.</u>

Which methods were used to record the resting membrane potential and action potential of the squid axon choose all that apply ?

  • The squid axon's action potential and resting membrane potential were captured using the following experimental strategy.
  • Using a recording microelectrode inside the cell that is connected to a second electrode outside the cell .

What is cell membrane ?

  • All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.
    A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane.
  • The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.

What are the functions of a cell membrane?

  • The cell membrane, therefore, has two functions: first, to be a barrier keeping the constituents of the cell in and unwanted substances out .
  • second, to be a gate allowing transport into the cell of essential nutrients and movement from the cell of waste products.

50% of the planets are made mainly of gas true or false
ella [17]

Answer: I think the answer is true

Explanation: If you think about it, the terrestial planets ( being  venus, earth, mars, and mercury) are made up very little gas which are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen, and the gas giants ( being jupiter, saturn, neptune, and uranus) have gases such as hydrogen and helium. Thus meaning, the terrestial planets could be a part of it and the gas giants are the most. So yes, the answer is true.

The cell of humans contains 46 chromosomes and is about to undergo cell division. What type of cells are created after this?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The cell of humans contains 46 chromosomes and is about to undergo cell division so two types of cells are formed. If the cell division occurs in somatic cells then mitosis occurs or if the cell division occurs in sex cells then meiosis occurs. In mitosis, two daughter cells are formed while in meiosis, four daughter cells are produced. In mitosis, each daughter cell has 46 chromosomes while in meiosis each daughter cell has 23 chromosomes.
