Answer:

B. Systemic blood pressure will be lowered.

Explanation:

Glomerular capillaries serve to provide a large surface area for glomerular filtration as they are long and extensive. Mesangial cells serve to regulate the available surface area for the process of filtration. When mesangial cells are relaxed, the maximal surface area is available. This results in a very high rate of glomerular filtration. On the other hand, contraction of mesangial cells reduces the available surface area, and thereby, reduces the rate of glomerular filtration.

Systemic blood pressure is the blood pressure in the blood vessels of the systemic pathway. The contraction of heart chambers during the pumping of blood is the source of systemic blood pressure. Therefore, the contraction of glomerular mesangial cells would not lower the systemic blood pressure.

What part of the scientific method do you decide if your hypothesis was right?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

OBSERVATION is first step, so that you know how you want to go about your research. HYPOTHESIS is the answer you think you'll find. PREDICTION is your specific belief about the scientific idea: If my hypothesis is true, then I predict we will discover this. CONCLUSION is the answer that the experiment gives.

The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century (with notable practitioners in previous centuries). It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation. It involves formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings. These are principles of the scientific method, as distinguished from a definitive series of steps applicable to all scientific enterprises.

1 Make an observation.

2 Ask a question.

3 Propose a hypothesis.

4 Make predictions.

5 Test the predictions.

6 Iterate.
