List the advantages and disadvantages of the switch from persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides (such as ddt) to nonpersi

stent organophosphate pesticides. have the benefits of this switch outweighed the disadvantages? explain.

Persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides persist in the environment and accumulate in the foods chain causing harmful effects on the environment including posing a threat to humans health in the long term. Nonpersistent organophosphate pesticides are more toxic than the former but degrade after a short life span. Therefore they cause immediate harm in case one is in contact with them.
The fact that they do not accumulate in the environment, they are more favourable than chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides will affect several generations due to their accumulation in the environment. However they don't need to be re-applied hence are less expensive

The afferent arteriole is _____ in diameter than the different arteriole, so that glomerular _____ is relatively high.
Marina86 [1]

The afferent arteriole is larger in diameter than the different arteriole, so that glomerular blood pressure is relatively high.

The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism.

The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys. The afferent arterioles later diverge into the capillaries of the glomerulus.

The glomerulus (plural glomeruli) is a network of small blood vessels (capillaries) known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. Each of the two kidneys contains about one million nephrons.

The tuft is structurally supported by the mesangium (the space between the blood vessels), composed of intraglomerular mesangial cells. The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier, which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substances to a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. The filtrate then enters the renal tubule of the nephron.

The glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation. Unlike most capillary beds, the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles rather than venules. The resistance of the efferent arterioles causes sufficient hydrostatic pressure within the glomerulus to provide the force for ultrafiltration.

The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall kidney function, is the glomerular filtration rate.
