Answer:

The colon.

Explanation:

The colon, also known as the large intestine is one of the major organs of the digestive system and plays a vital role in the processing of food and excretion of waste. It is divided into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon.

The colon has a large surface area and plays a major role in the reabsorption of fluids and the processing and formation of waste which it pushes towards the rectum to be expelled.

Diarrhea is a condition which is characterized by frequency of bowel movements and passage of loose and watery stools. It has various causes most of which affects the normal functionality of the colon thereby limiting it's ability to reabsorb water and fluids. Such causes which affect the colon include; Bacterial infections, laxative abuse, diseases of the colon such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease etc.

How high can creatinine and bun levels go before death?
wel
Creatinine is a by-product of muscular metabolism. In the natural and normal scheme of things, this substance or waste product can be eliminated from the body. A high-serum creatinine level may cause kidney damage. In relation to the above question as to how high can creatinine levels go before death, it must be noted that kidneys have strong compensatory ability and by that as long as its still 50 percent functional, creatinine level won't be that high. Which leads us to a conclusion that, the lesser the kidney function level is, the higher the creatinine level.

On the other hand for the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the most stable blood constituent following death as it reaches antemortem (before death) levels and even after moderate decomposition.

Therefore, as long as the kidneys are functional, regardless of other factors such as the patient's condition/ diagnosis, these blood constituents are nearly normal.

Why do animal cells have centriole but plant cells do not?
Mamont248 [21]
<span>Animals have centrioles to form spindle fibers during prophase. The centriole divides cells. Plants do not have them because they have microtubules instead; they do not need centrioles. Plants are capable of forming a circular loop of microtubules around the future plane of division prior to prophase called the preprophase band, rather than centrosome. Basically- plants don't need it. They have a different way of cell division.</span>
