The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, bladder and ureters (tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder). The kidneys act as filters removing extra fluid and waste from your blood to make urine. Urine passes from the kidneys into the ureters, which drain into the bladder. When the bladder is full, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra. The ureters normally enter the bladder at a diagonal angle and have a special one-way valve system that prevents urine from flowing back up the ureters in the direction of the kidneys. If this system doesn’t work, urine can flow back towards the kidneys. This is called vesicoureteric reflux (also known as urinary reflux). Sometimes vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) can be associated with other 'plumbing' problems in the urinary tract and with small, damaged or malformed kidneys.

So I believe the answer is 1.

What strengthens and helps to maintain the fluid nature of a cell regardless of temperature?

Amanda [17]

Cholesterol in Cell membrane strengthens and helps to maintain the fluid nature of a cell regardless of temperature

<u>Explanation:</u>

All organisms are made up of one or more cells. Each cell is protected or differentiated by a covering called as the cell membrane. Phospholipids are the basic structure of the cell membrane. Cholesterol prevents the loss of fluid from phospholipids.

Cell membrane has a lipid layer and cholesterol which is placed between the phospholipids to maintain the fluid nature of the cell under different temperature. Cholesterol prevents the cell from solidifying and helps maintain the fluid. Cholesterol actually acts as a buffer between different temperatures.
