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.

ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm 

The Golgi body are the ones that slightly alter, organize and prepare so-called parcels to be delivered for all the organelles in the cell. They receive these packages mainly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These packages that set out by Golgi body are macromolecules that used and synthesized by cells in many operations. If ER is absent then it would only mean that Golgi body would have no use other than simply lysosomes but these macromolecules plays a dynamic role in many organelles –nutrients, ATP and cell metabolism. It'll have a ripple effect if ER is absent in the cell.

many pathogenic bacteria species are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Explain how such adaptations can develop through the pro

mihalych1998 [28]

There may be some strains of bacteria that are naturally resistant to these antibiotics, or there may be some that mutate to become resistant. This means that as antibiotics are used more and more, those that can be killed using the antibiotics die out, but those that are resistant will remain, and will reproduce. Over time, it will be the resistant species that predominate.

How to calculate your average grade in one class?

Vladimir [108]

Answer: Divide each weight expressed

Explanation: If your first test is 20 percent of your grade, divide 20 by 100 to get 0.2. If your second test is worth 30 percent and your final test is worth 50 percent, divide 30 and 50 by 100 to get 0.3 and 0.5.
