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."

Nat2105 [25]

Answer options:

  • The nucleus was unable to provide instructions for the other organelles in the cells.
  • The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.
  • The lysosomes were unable to remove waste from the cells.
  • The cell membrane was unable to allow substances to enter and exit the cells.

Answer:

  • The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration. This is the process that produces energy in the form of ATP. ATP provides energy for all cellular processes. Without this energy, the cell cannot carry out its functions and will quickly die.

Aerobic respiration requires a good supply of oxygen, which the grasshopper would not have had in a sealed container.
