Answer:

Glomerular Hydrostatic pressure .

Explanation:

The basic function of the kidney is the formation of urine for elimination through the urinary excretory system. Two different processes determine this formation: the filtration of fluid through the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's space and the modification of the volume and composition of the glomerular filtrate in the renal tubules.  The fluid passes from the glomerular capillaries to Bowman's capsule due to the existence of a pressure gradient between these two areas. This process is favored by two structural characteristics that make renal corpuscles particularly effective filtration membranes: glomerular capillaries have a much higher number of pores than other capillaries, and the efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole, causing greater resistance to outflow of blood flow from the glomerulus and increasing glomerular hydrostatic pressure. Increased glomerular hydrostatic pressure (due to increased blood flow through the glomerulus) increases filtration, while increases in Bowman's hydrostatic pressure or urinary space (which remains constant, unless there is disease at that level, usually due to fibrosis) and plasma P. oncotic (determined by proteins, which tend to "drag" plasma into the glomerulus) decrease filtering. Resulting in a filtering pressure of 10 mmHg.

How do fat blockers and starch blockers work?
KIM [24]
Starch blocker help prevent the body from absorbing starches so you don't absorb calories, and fat blockers are kind of the same thing, they don't let your body absorb fat, instead it excretes it as waste.

When testing tonicity of red blood cells, if the solution became transparent after adding blood cells, you could assume:.
sveticcg [70]

If the solution becomes transparent we could assume that ;  The solution was hypotonic and the cells had burst.

<h3>Tonicity of red blood cells </h3>

To test for Tonicity of red blood cells, we placed the cells in a solution.When red blood cells are placed in hypotonic solution there is high rate of osmosis in which the solvent flows into the red cells placed in the solution the cells will experience a process known as Hemolysis and these cells do not diffuse light, the solution becomes a red transparent solution.

Hence we can conclude that If the solution becomes transparent we could assume that ;  The solution was hypotonic and the cells had burst.

So,

There is a scientific consensus that life exists on other planets

and

The scientists only studied one meteorite

The first one because the other ones don't make sense, and because it is a scientific consensus. The latter because they only studied one, and imagine if they studied other ones...
