In the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls.
<span><span>
The glomerulus receives its blood supply (that need to be filtered) from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation and the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles. The glomerular filtration rate is a rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli.</span> </span>
Answer:
Genetic, geographic & cultural factors that cause sickle-cell anemia. It is important to note that even genetic diseases are caused by multiple social, environmental and biological factors. This is particularly true in the case of sickle-cell anemia, a genetically inherited blood disorder usually found in people with West African ancestry (PBS 2001).
The second one
One gene for a particular trait
Alcohol
may positively affect the cardiovascular system of people over 50 years old by
reducing the risk of clot formation.
<span>Just like with the other body systems, excessive alcohol can have lethal
effects on the cardiovascular system. Chronic alcohol use can upsurge the
workload of the heart which can then lead to arrhythmia's or what is called an irregular
heart beat, inflammation of the heart muscle or myocarditis, weakening of the
heart muscle or cardiomyopathy, increased cholesterol, and even hypertension.
Other problems are prominent with blood clotting and an increased workload of
the heart that is linked to cirrhosis of the liver.</span>
The answer is B because:
Cell walls are made of cellulose and proteins (hence II).
Animal cells don't have cell walls (only cell membrane) but plant cells do so IV
They must be semipermeable since materials for example carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis have to go into the cell <em>some</em> way.
