The rate of kidney filtrate formation would normally be dependent upon all of the following factors except __________.

Biology

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.

What is the difference between Genes and Alleles?
Vanyuwa [196]
Genes is found in the DNA. It decides a specific characteristic. Genes can transform and take two or more option structures and these structures are called Alleles. Presently allele happens in an altered spot in a chromosome and in people we have two arrangements of chromosomes.

There are 46 chromosomes in the human. 23 from the dad, 23 from the mother = 46 chromosomes.

Which pattern describes the levels of biodiversity across the fossil record?
Leto [7]
Biodiversity generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. According to the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level.[1] Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator,[2] which seems to be the result of the warm climateand high primary productivity.[3] Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics. These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than 10 percent of earth's surface, and contain about 90 percent of the world's species.[4] Marine biodiversitytends to be highest along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest, and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans. There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity.[5]Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots,[6] and has been increasing through time,[7][8] but will be likely to slow in the future.[9]

Rapid environmental changes typically cause mass extinctions.[10][11][12] More than 99.9 percent of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species,[13] are estimated to be extinct.lstimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million,[f which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described] More recently, in May 2016, scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of one percent described.[18]The total amount of related DNA base pairson Earth is estimated at 5.0 x 1037 and weighs 50 billion tonnes.[19] In comparison, the total mass of the biosphere has been estimated to be as much as 4 TtC (trillion tons of carbon).[20] In July 2016, scientists reported identifying a set of 355 genes from the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) of all organisms living on Earth.[21]

The age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years.[22][23][24] The earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates at least from 3.5 billion years ago,[25][26][27] during the Eoarchean Era after a geological crust started to solidify following the earlier molten HadeanEon. There are microbial mat fossils found in 3.48 billion-year-old sandstone discovered in Western Australia.[28][29][30] Other early physical evidence of a biogenic substance is graphite in 3.7 billion-year-old meta-sedimentary rocks discovered in Western Greenland.More recently, in 2015, "remains of biotic life" were found in 4.1 billion-year-old rocks in Western Australia.[32][33] According to one of the researchers, "If life arose relatively quickly on Earth .. then it could be common in the universe.
