Answer:

The correct answer is both are produced in red bone marrow.red blood cells transport oxygen while white blood cells protect the body against disease.

Explanation:

Red blood cells or RBC contain hemoglobin protein that helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from our body.

   Where as white blood cells provide defence to our body against various invaded pathogens.There are many types of White blood cells such as eosinophyll, basophyll,neutrophyll,monocyte and lymphocyte.

  Both RBC and WBC are generated from red bone marrow.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging?
tigry1 [53]
<span>The body is constantly changing, no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis, or balance at all times or illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened, it then becomes harder to maintain this state. If one component goes out of balance; ie, water content, it affects the whole body. Swelling(edema) CHF(serious heart problem) kidneys may be overtaxed/unable to release the extra fluid. As the body ages organs naturally become less efficient, therefore making homeostasis more challenging.</span>

1. Excretion is the process of (1 point)
ycow [4]
Q1. The answer is removing metabolic wastes from the body.
Excretion is the process through which metabolic wastes are removed from the body. Skin, lungs, and greatly kidney, which are the part of the excretory system, are responsible for excretion of metabolic waste in vertebrates. Invertebrates have special systems (insects, for example, have Malpighian tubules) or use skin to excrete metabolic wastes while single-celled organisms use the whole surface of the cell.

Q2. The answer is some animals live in dry or salty environments.
Kidneys are important organs in maintaining water balance. Some animals that live in dry and salty environments must preserve water in order to maintain homeostasis. They drink and eat food with more salt in it. If they lose that precious water in such conditions, the amount of different salts in the organism will increase and it will affect a normal functioning of the organism.

Q3. The answer is simple diffusion across the skin. 
Ammonia is very toxic substance and a lot of water is needed for its neutralisation and excretion. Therefore, animals that live in water excrete ammonia directly in the water. Many freshwater invertebrates eliminate ammonia through skin. In animals that do not live in the water, kidneys and liver help conversion of ammonia into urea which is then excreted.,

Q4. They both actively pump salt across their gills. 
Both saltwater and freshwater fishes use gills to eliminate nitrogenous wastes while kidneys have a little role in the elimination of this kind of the waste. Salt that is lost is replaced by active transport of salt ions into the body by the gills.

Q5. The answer is They both convert nitrogenous wastes to uric acid. 
A garden spider and a sparrow are terrestrial organisms. They do not live in the water and do not excrete metabolic wastes in the water. It is known that ammonia is toxic nitrogenous substance and a lot of water is needed for its excretion. For water organisms this is not a problem, they are surrounded by water, but terrestrial organisms, such as the garden spider and the sparrow, have no such amount of water in the environment, so their kidneys and liver must convert ammonia into urine which can then easily be excreted.

What type of food properties do not allow harmful bacteria to multiply rapidly?
user100 [1]
<span>Foods that are highly acidic tend to inhibit bacteria growth. Many times, bacteria do not acclimate well to acidic environments, so having a food with a very low pH will help to make sure that the bacteria can't thrive in such an environment. Fruits and vegetables are good examples of these types of food.</span>
