Answer:

Nitrogenous wastes,  acid-base, fluid balance.

Explanation:

  • Kidneys are bean shaped organs present in pairs i vertebrates. These are an excretory organ. Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of kidneys. It excretes the nitrogenous wastes in the form of urine which is continuously formed.
  • Kidneys are also play major role in body homeostasis by maintaining the electrolyte, acid-base and fluid balance of the blood.
  • Kidneys are act as a hormone because it produces the erythropoietin hormone which help in the formation of red blood cells in the human body.

Non-protein coding DNA in eukaryotes contains repetitive elements that include (select all that apply): Group of answer choices
Olegator [25]

Answer:

interspersed, transposon-derived repeats, simple sequence repeats.

Explanation:

In the human genome, not only the protein coding genes are present, in fact these genes make up just a very little portion of the human genome about 1.5-2% of the entire human genome. Repeats make up about 48% of the human genome which is the largest and the rest include, conserved non coding sequences (43.5%), heterochromatin regions etc.  

Some of the repetitive elements includes LINEs, SINEs, DNA fossils tranposoon, Retrovirus like elements. all these are transposable elements which are  mobile DNA sequences that can migrate to different  regions/areas of the genome.

Microsatellites (simple sequence repeats) are tracts of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs are repeated normally 5-50 times.

Where does energy first come into an ecosystem?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:B. Sunlight provides energy to producers

Explanation: photoautotrophs (plants) produce energy from sunlight by photosynthesis. This is the only energy production based on an external source of energy. Plants, whether alive or dead, are consumed by heterotrophs - bacteria, fungi and animals. The nutrients and energy from dead heterotrophs (and some live ones) are recycled by both autotrophs and heterotrophs.
