Answer:

Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule.

Explanation:

The renal corpuscle is composed of the capillary glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule that covers it, there is a space inside the capsule, Bowman's space, where the filtered liquid from the glomerulus passes. The glomerular pressure must be higher than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule, so in that way it forces the filtration and tends to expel fluid from the glomeruli, allowing the passage of water, small molecules of solute and ions.

Accurate about snowflakes

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

snowflake is a single ice crystal that has achieved a sufficient size, and may have amalgamated with others, then falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow.Each flake nucleates around a dust particle in supersaturated air masses by attracting supercooled cloud water droplets, which freeze and accrete in crystal form. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity zones in the atmosphere, such that individual snowflakes differ in detail from one another, but may be categorized in eight broad classifications and at least 80 individual variants.

The main constituent shapes for ice crystals, from which combinations may occur, are needle, column, plate, and rime. Snow appears white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small crystal facets of the snowflakes

Although identical twins inherit exact copies of the same genes, the twins may look and act

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Identical twins came from the same sperm and egg, so they have the same chromosomes and genes. So identical twins with identical DNA may have different genes turned on, causing them to look and act differently, and even to develop different diseases such as cancer.
