Answer:

The urinary system consists of the ureters, kidneys,  bladder, and urethra, also known as the renal system or urinary tract. It performs several functions including:

1. Regulate blood volume and pressure: change the amount of water lost in urine, EPO (more bone marrow activates RBC) and Renin

2. Regulate concentrations of plasma ions: monitors potassium, sodium, and chloride ions lost through urine and calcium ion levels by calcitriol synthesis (osteoclast activity and prevents urinary loss)

3. Helps to regulate blood pH: monitor hydrogen ion loss and bicarbonate ions in urine

4. Conserve essential nutrients: preventing nutrient excretion when excreting agricultural wastes

5. Help to detoxify toxins in the liver

miss Akunina [59]

Hi, the given question is incomplete, it is missing a diagram, the diagram is given in the attachment below,

Answer:

The correct answer is adaptive evolution.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, it is clear that it best illustrates the phenomenon of adaptive evolution. It is known that different species of finches exhibit an ancestor, which is common, however, all the species have shown adaptation based on the kind of food they are getting within their surroundings.  

The evolutionary modifications that arise by getting adaptive to the specific environment are termed as adaptive evolution. These changes arise due to the phenomenon of natural selection, which further enhances the tendency of reproducing or survivorship after going through some of the challenges presented by the surroundings.

Explain why a sound wave cannot travel in a vacuum?
Leto [7]
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.
