The answer is; D

Radioactive waste poses a serious challenge to the environment. Any leakage of the waste is risky because the radioactivity can flow up the food chain and it also takes time for it to decay and become less harmful. Therefore, its effect can be felt over many generations. Therefore, safe storage of radioactive waste is a challenge (and can be very expensive) and a deterrent for pursuing the potent energy source.

How do the nephrons handle nitrogenous wastes such as urea uric acid and creatinine?
masya89 [10]
According to sources, the most probable answer to this query is that nephrons found in the kidney are responsible for filtering out waste in the blood cells. The resulting product is urea. 
This is then excreted to the body.

What energy carriers can enter the electron transport chain in mitochondria to generate ATP?
ElenaW [278]

Answer: The electron transport chain consists of complexes which are the proton pump for the hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial membrane which allows the synthesis of the ATP (energy currency).

Explanation:

The electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondria. ATP synthase present in the inner mitochondrial membrane is a carrier of electron. FADH2 AND NADH two molecules supply high energy electrons from the citric acid cycle from the electron transport chain at complex I (NADH coenzyme Q reductase) and II (succinate dehydrogenase)respectively.

What specific changes in rachel’s muscle cells and kidney function are leading to elevated plasma k levels?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Intracellular Potassium Shifts and Impaired Potassium Excretion leads to elevated plasma K levels.

What is Hyperkalemia?

  • Hyperkalemia, a potentially lethal condition, develops when serum potassium levels rise above 5.5 mmol/l.
  • Potassium is the most common intracellular cation and is crucial for many physiological functions, at a concentration of 100-150 mmol/l. The digestive system quickly and usually fully absorbs potassium.

Causes:

  • Increased Potassium intake: In adult patients with normal renal function, increased dietary potassium intake is a very rare cause of hyperkalemia, but it can be a significant factor in people with kidney disease.
  • Intracellular Potassium Shifts: Large amounts of intracellular potassium can be released into the extracellular area as a result of cellular damage. Excessive activity, rhabdomyolysis after a crush injury, or other hemolytic processes can all be to responsible for this. 
  • Impaired Potassium Excretion: The most frequent cause of hyperkalemia is acute or chronic renal disease. Hyperkalemia may also result from tubular dysfunction brought on by aldosterone insufficiency or insensitivity.
