<h2>GFR </h2>
Explanation:
A decrease in GFR will cause lower Na and Cl ion concentration in the distal tubule
- GFR stands for Glomerular Filtration Rate
- The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
- The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus which is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
- The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
The correct answer is: [B]: "decreased" .

In a graph of "coal reserves in the United States" vs. "time" ;
→ the "time" is the "independent variable" that belongs on the "x-axis" .
→ The quantity or amount of "coal reserves in the United States" is the "dependent variable" that belongs on the "y-axis" .
If the graph "slopes downward" ; this would indicate a "decrease" in the amount/quantity of "coal reserves" over "time" .
→ As the value of "x" increases — "time" increases — and; as "x" increases, the value of "y" {the amount/quantity of "coal reserves"} decreases.
→ This would be represented by a "downward sloping" graph;
→ and, among the answer choices given, could indicate that coal production:

→ "decreased" ;

→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: "decreased" .

I'm pretty sure its because the sun is farther away from earth so C
Answer:
D. Fibrocartilage
Explanation:
In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.
Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:
It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.
It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus
<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>
It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.
Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.
<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>
From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.
