Answer: blood calcium level

Explanation:

There are several factors affecting the rate of kidney filtrate formation including filtration membrane integrity

, systemic blood pressure, and renal artery/arteriole diameters.

Filtration membrane integrity

: It regulates the filtration of small fitrates and large filtrates. It is very important to handle the osmotic pressure of salts, if it will get damage the filtration will not take place properly.

Systemic blood pressure: systemic blood pressure is very important factor as it affects the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Low blood pressure or volume due to dehydration can result in decreased GFR.

Renal artery/arteriole diameters: The filtrate move through the renal artery and if it's diameter will increase or decrease it will affect the movement of filtrate. if diameter will decrease it can block the renal artery and can cause a huge damage.

Blood calcium level do not have any role in the kidney filterate formation or renal regulation.

Hence, the correct option is blood calcium level.

The mass of an electron is

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

not significant to the overall mass of the atom

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is the combination of the mass of the protons and neutrons. Electrons are not included because their mass are so insignificant that is doesn't change the total mass much, therefore they are left out. The mass of an electron is about 1,830 times smaller than protons and neutrons.

disa [49]

Answer:

Option A, a compound that contains carbon atoms bound to other elements

Explanation:

An organic compound is one which has at least one carbon atom that is bonded to several other atoms (may be metallic or non metallic) by a single or double bond is termed as organic compound . The most common atoms with which carbon forms bond are hydrogen, nitrogen,and oxygen.

Some common examples are -

Methane - $CH_4$

Methanol - $CH_3OH$

Hence, option A is correct
