Nephrons are structures that are part of the cortex and the medulla of the kidney. A nephron consists of an intricate epithelial tube that is closed at one end and open at the distal portion. A kidney is made up of numerous nephrons that converge in the collecting ducts, which in turn form the papillary ducts and eventually empty into the renal pelvis.

They have the function of cleaning the blood plasma of waste substances as it passes through the kidneys. Among these substances that must be eliminated are certain terminal products of metabolism, such as urea, creatinine, uric acid and urates, which are expelled through the urine. Nephrons eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and pressure, control electrolyte and metabolite levels, and regulate blood ph.

"A nephron is used to separate water, ions, and small molecules from the blood, filter out wastes and toxins, and return needed molecules to the blood."

As there are no answer choices, I'm going to answer this just based off my knowledge

Analogous structures suggest convergent evolution because they have both evolved from a set of species but for different reasons and from different causes.

The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years. You measure a rock sample and find that it has trace amounts of Carbon-14. 1/2408 rema
hram777 [196]

Given :

The half life of Carbon-14 , t_{0.5}=5730 .

Trace amounts of Carbon-14 1/2408 remains.

To Find :

How old is the rock .

Solution :

Let , initial concentration of Carbon-14 is C .

Quantity remains , \dfrac{C}{2408} .

Rate constant is :

k=\dfrac{0.693}{t_{0.5}}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.693}{5730}\\\\k=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ years^{-1}

By first order equation :

kt=-ln(\dfrac{[A_t]}{[A_o]})\\\\t=-\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{[A_t]}{[A_o]})}{k}\\\\t=-\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{[A_o]}{[A_o]\times 2408})}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}\ years\\\\t=-\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{1}{2408})}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}\ years\\\\t=64887.9\ years

Therefore , the rock is 64887.9 years old .

Hence , this is the required solution .
