The answer is (D) Richter scale.

The pH scale is used to measure acid/alkalinity

The Moh's scale is used to find out how hard a mineral is.

The Kelvin scale is a unit of measure of temperature.

Therefore, the only answer is D.

Discuss and explain the correlation between thirst and kidney function​
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correlation between thirst and kidney function is the following:

Thirst is the regulator of the state of hydration, necessary to eliminate the osmotic load, it can help preserve kidney function.

The instantaneous perception of osmolarity in the blood allows us to generate the sensation of thirst.

In other words, this sensation is in turn caused by a high concentration of osmolytes (compounds that affect osmosis, or the way it is measured, osmolality or osmolarity) or by hypovolemia.

The receptors that control cellular dehydration are called osmoreceptors and are located in the lateral preoptic area.

Osmoreceptors detect this decrease in cellular water and trigger thirst, as well as the release of Anti-Diuretic Hormone into the bloodstream.

Antidiuretic hormone helps regulate the amount of water in the body by controlling the amount of water excreted by the kidneys.

Therefore, we can conclude that the sensation of thirst appears the sodium concentration is higher than normal, when drinking water, the concentration gradient is reduced, which allows the normal functioning of kidney function.

Which phrases describe radioactive elements? Check all that apply.
svp [43]

A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.

The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-

They have a consistent number of particles - the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.

They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.

Explanation for other options:

Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.
