almond37 [142]
Chronic kidney disease is when your kidney is not functioning properly. Kidneys contain filters called nephrons. It is the their job to filter the blood of waste products and extra fluid. As a result, your body flushes the waste out as urine. The most common causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. If your blood vessels contain a high concentration of sugar and cholesterol, the nephrons would take the exhaustive work. In the long run, if you keep eating unhealthy food, the kidney could no longer catch up. Thus, resulting to chronic kidney disease.

Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to __ or__ electrons when they react.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to gain or share electrons when they react.

Explanation: Non-metals are elements that gain electron to form negatively charged ions known as anions.

When non-metals react, they either gain/accept electron from a metal atom or share electron with another non-metal atom. When a non-metal accepts an electron from a metal atom, the type of bond formed is called ionic or electrovalent bond. In electrovalent bond, the metal atom transfers its valence electrons to the non-metal atom so that both attain a stable octet or duplet structure.

When a non-metal shares electron with another non-metal atom, the type of bond formed is known as covalent bond. In covalent bond, the two non-metal atoms share a pair of electron, each atom donating one electron to form a pair.

How does the cell wall contributes towards maintaining homeostasis in the cell​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The water wants to flow from the higher concentration, which is outside of the cell, to the lower concentration, which is inside of the cell. The cell membrane helps to regulate and slow down the flow of water into the cell. This is yet another way that the cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis.

I hope it helps ❤️
