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

Substance A and substance B are mixed together. To separate the mixture, water is added, and substance A is filtered out. Then,
Sveta_85 [38]

The correct answer would be that substance A is rice, and substance B is sugar.

For substance A to be filtered out, it means that A is a water-insoluble substance and for substance B to be recoverable by evaporating off the water, it means that B is water-soluble.

Thus, A can neither be sugar nor alcohol because neither can be recovered by filtration. Also, B can neither be coffee nor alcohol because they can not be recovered as residue through evaporation of water.

Therefore, the only correct answer is that substance A is rice, and substance B is sugar because rice can be filtered out from water while the water-soluble sugar can be recovered by evaporating the water.
