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.

Answer:

"rubbed together"

Explanation:

Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The correct option is B. The stage of a virus where it is activated to perform the function for which it was intended is referred to as the triggering phase.

Explanation:

The life cycle of a virus consists of the following stages:

The Dormant phase:

In this phase, the virus doesn't take any action. It just manages to get into the system or software.

The Propagation phase

In this phase, the virus makes copies of itself.

The Triggering Phase

In this phase, the virus performs its function.

The Execution Phase

In this phase, the destruction made by the virus can be seen.

Answer:

The Answer is, B, C, And E. I just took it on USATESTPREP.

B) G3P can be used to form the backbone of triglycerides. Glycerol combines with fatty acid tails to form lipids.

C) Two G3P molecules can be combined through anabolic processes to form glucose, a six-carbon sugar required by cells.

E) G3P can be used in to synthesize amino acids, which contain a central carbon, a carboxylic acid group, and a variable R group. These amino acids can then combine to form proteins.
