<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Glomerular filtration is the process which kidneys uses to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so that they may be eliminated from the body
  • The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
  • The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus, this is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
  • The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure

Which answer best explains the difference between protists and bacteria?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct option is A. Bacteria are prokaryotes and protists are eukaryotes

Explanation:

The major difference between BACTERIA AND PROTISTS is the Bacteria are PROKARYOTES in nature and they dont have what we called nucleus reason been that their microbes are single celled microbes while protists on the other hand are EUKARYOTIC in nature and they have nucleus and they can either have a single-celled or have more than one celled.

The Second difference is that protists can only be found in the area or surrounding that are mostly moisture while bacterial on the second hand can be found in every area, environment or surrounding.

Therefore the answer that best explains the difference between both protists and bacteria

Is option A which states that Bacteria are PROKARYOTES while protists are EUKARYOTES.

Imagine that you are observing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the lab. Every time you add more enzyme, the reaction rate increa
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

<u>All the substrates are bound to the enzyme</u>, thats why the reaction rate stopped increasing.

Explanation:

Actually an enzyme works by binding a substrate molecule to its active site, producing a product  , resulting in an increase in the rate of reaction.

            Enzyme + substrate = Enzyme + product

Whenever enzymes are added , reaction rate increases as the substrates are being bound to the enzyme's active sites but then occurs a stage where further addition of enzyme cannot increase the reaction rate because all the substrates have bound to the enzyme and <u>there are no substrates left.</u> Hence the reaction rate stopped increasing.
