Answer: Option C) Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction is a process involving a gain of electron(s), while oxidation involves a loss of electron(s).

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane.
netineya [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is a back-pressure that opposes filtration. As the filtrate is forced into the capsular space, it meets 2 forms of resistance: the wall of the capsule and the fluid that has already filled the renal tubule.

This pressure drives fluid out of the capillary (i.e., filtration), and is highest at the arteriolar end of the capillary and lowest at the venular end.

2. True or False<br> Ice is less than dense than water.
seraphim [82]

Answer. True

Explanation:

When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
