What organs are involved in caring out these functions?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The human brain is the body's control center, receiving and sending signals to other organs through the nervous system and through secreted hormones. It is responsible for our thoughts, feelings, memory storage and general perception of the world.

The human heart is a responsible for pumping blood throughout our body.

The job of the kidneys is to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood. The kidneys take urea out of the blood and combine it with water and other substances to make urine.

The liver has many functions, including detoxifying of harmful chemicals, breakdown of drugs, filtering of blood, secretion of bile and production of blood-clotting proteins.

The lungs are responsible for removing oxygen from the air we breathe and transferring it to our blood where it can be sent to our cells. The lungs also remove carbon dioxide, which we exhale.

(1) Electric current is defined as the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit. It is measured in Coulombs/second, also called Amperes. In DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to voltage and resistance by Ohm's law, which is:

V = I*R
Where V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance

(4) Renewable energy is the energy which is generated from the natural sources i.e. sun, tides, wind etc. Examples are: Solar Energy, Wind energy( windmill) etc. for electricity generation.
Advantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is available in abundant quantity.
2) It is free to use.
3) It has low carbon emissions, therefore it is considered as green and environment friendly.
Disadvantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is not easy to setup plants and machinery for renewable energy.
2) Initial costs for setting up those plants and machinery is quite high.
3) The energy from the natural sources is not available 24/7. In Solar energy case, energy can be used during the day time and not during night or rainy season etc.

Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity. Sources may be fossil fuels, natural gas, oil and coal etc.
Advantages of Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
1) They are easy to use.
2) They are cheap.

Disadvantages:
1) They will expire some day (as they are limited).
2) The speed at which such resources are being used can have serious environmental changes.
3) They release toxic gases in the air when burnt which are the major cause for global warming.
4) Since these sources are going to expire soon, prices of these sources are proliferating day by day.

Now you should judge all by yourself which is the better energy source.
