Answer;

-PET scan

A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray

Explanation;

-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.

-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.

Some substances that were not initially filtered in the glomerulus, but must be eliminated from the blood, become a component of
dolphi86 [110]

Some substances that were not initially filtered in the glomerulus, but must be eliminated from the blood, become a component of urine through the process of urine formation.

Urine: A liquid excrement consisting of water, salts, and urea, which is made in the kidneys then released through the urethra.

The process of urine formation involves 3 major steps:

  1. Filtration:- Blood enters the afferent arteriole during filtration, flowing into the glomerulus where filterable blood components—such as water and nitrogenous waste—move toward the interior of the glomerulus and nonfilterable blood components—such as cells and serum albumins—exit via the efferent arteriole.
  2. Reabsorption: During this, ions and molecules will be returned to the bloodstream. As the fluid's osmolarity (ion concentration) fluctuates, water and ions are eliminated as it moves through the proximal/distal convoluted tubules, the loop of Henle, and the collecting duct.
  3. The process of secretion involves the removal of various substances from the blood into the collecting duct, including hydrogen ions, creatinine, and medications. Urine, the final result of all these procedures, is essentially a collection of chemicals that have not undergone tubular or glomerular reabsorption.

How do dung beetles help a carbon atom in animal dung to become part of a carbohydrate molecule within a plant?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Dung beetles lives in the animal dung and take nutrients from the undigested substances present in the dung. This dung is mixed with the soil by the beetle to increase the fertility of the soil. These nutrients is taken by plants with water through roots and makes their food in the form of carbohydrate from it in the process of photosynthesis.
