What will happen if the glomerular filtration rate is too low?

Biology

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c. Wastes will build up in the blood  

Explanation:

Glomerular filtration rate is a measure of renal function that can be calculated from a simple blood test that measures blood creatinine levels and takes into account age, ethnicity, gender and other factors. Through the glomerular filtration rate, your doctor can determine the stage of kidney disease and plan treatment. The lower the GFR, the more severe the renal failure.

Since kidney failure is the slow loss of kidney function, its main function is to remove waste and excess water from the body. We can conclude that if the glomerular filtration rate is too low, debris will accumulate in the blood.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The correct macthing of the organs with their organ systems is as follows.

1. Digestive system - intestines.

2. Central nervous system - brain.

3. Respiratory system - tracheal system.

4. Excretory system - bladder.

Digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal consisting of the digestive organs and the glands. Among the digestive organs, the intestines play a major role in the process of digestion. The small intestine is the site of complete digestion which is associated with the pancreas and liver. The large intestine is involved the absorption of water from the digested food and remaining waste material is stored and thrown out of the body during defecation.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain makes the largest part and the functional of the central nervous system. It controls most of the activities of the body. It is made up of three parts called the cerebrum, cerebellum and medualla oblongata and is protected by the skull.

The respiratory system is divided into the upper respiratory tract consisting of the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli. The trachea or the wind pipe is a cylindrical tube infront of the oesophagus, supported by 16-20 C-shaped hyaline cartilage. It serves as a passage for air to move in and out of the lungs.

The excretory system is made up of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, an urinary bladder and an urethra. The urine produced by the kidney flows through the ureters and is collected in the urinary bladder. A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.

The immediate energy system (ATP-PC) relies on:
swat32

Answer:

c. the high-energy phosphates stored in muscle cells

Explanation:

Phosphocreatine (PC) or creatine phosphate is a compound rich in energy. It has energy stored in it which can be used to phosphorylate ADP into ATP. The phosphocreatine is stored in muscle cells when muscles are not working. The produced ATP serves as an energy source for muscle contraction. The creatine produced during ATP production is phosphorylated again into PC using ATP when muscles are resting.

Which of the following is a change from a more condensed to a less condensed state of matter?
777dan777 [17]
By the term "condensed", this refers to the density of a state of matter. As a rule of thumb, solids are the most dense because their molecules are very close together. Next is liquids because they flow compared to solids. The least dense are gases. Therefore, a change from a more condensed state to a less condensed state is boiling (liquid to gas).
