Yanka [14]4 years ago
4 0

answer:

Passage of a solvent (such as water) from a lower-concentration solution to a higher-concentration solution

explanation:

Passage of a solvent (such as water) from a lower-concentration solution to a higher-concentration solution, by a semi-permeable layer (that enables the solvent to pass but not what is diffused in it) departing the two extracts. The flow of solvent ends when both solutions become even in concentration. In nature, osmosis is a primary source by means of which nutrients are carried to the cells.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: 1,2,3

Explanation:

1. One of the major function of the kidney is to excrete metabolic waste. When the blood is perfused through the Bowman's capsule, an ultrafiltrate of the blood is produced in the glomerulus, the filtrate in Bowman's capsule contains salt, glucose, amino acids, nitrogenous waste, etc while the cells and proteins are retained in the blood. The waste are excreted as urine or uric acid.

2. One of the function of the renal tubule is to maintain fluid and electrolytes balance. When the glomerulus filtrate is formed, it contains almost all the crystalloids of plasma which includes water, Na+, Cl-, glucose, amino acid and K+. The renal tubule reabsorb water and solute to the blood to maintain water and electrolytes balance.

3. The kidney secrete a hormone Renin, which control other hormones angiotensin and aldosterone that helps to control blood pressure.

Why does it make sense to have weak bonds holding one strand to the other but strong bonds everywhere else
Anni [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In the DNA molecule, that is formed by two strands of nucleotides, makes sense that each nucleotide is strongly bond to one another while the strands have weaker bonds, for one particular reason.

The double-stranded nature of the DNA is a key element in its correct functioning. <u>When the DNA needs to be "unzipped" for certain processes such as replication and transcription, the weak hydrogen bonds that connect the two strands are broken</u>. If the bonds between the strands were stronger, much more energy would be needed to perform the processes mentioned before, and that wouldn't be beneficial for the cells.

trapecia [35]

The nurse should withhold anticonvulsant medications for 24 to 48 hours before the test.

EEG  is electroencephalogram, a test that detects electrical activity in the brain via electrodes attached to the scalp. Brain activity is represented as wavy lines on an EEG recording.

EEG is safe and painless. On the day of test, anything with caffeine should be avoided because it can affect the test results.
