<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 nation would be CLOSEST to the command side on this economic
Alina [70]

Answer: D) North Korea

==============================================================

Explanation:

The United States, the United Kingdom, and France are all countries that have capitalistic economies. This means that (for the most part) private industry and the market determines what products are produced and who gets those products. I said "for the most part" because these countries don't follow a purely capitalistic structure. There are some elements of government regulation to ensure that no breakdowns occur. The regulations are also to ensure some level of fairness as well, in addition to preventing things like fraud.

On the other hand, countries like North Korea are known as command economies because the government determines what products are to be made and they determine who gets the products. This means that they set the prices as well to whatever they feel is correct (even if the market may disagree otherwise). The term "communism" is often strongly connected to the term "command economy".

Explain ATP in detail
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP, is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It is the main energy currency of the cell, and it is an end product of the processes of photophosphorylation (adding a phosphate group to a molecule using energy from light), cellular respiration, and fermentation.

It is made up of the molecule adenosine (which itself is made up of adenine and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. It is soluble in water and has a high energy content due to having two phosphoanhydride bonds connecting the three phosphate groups

 Its main function is to store energy within the cell. ... ATP hydrolysis is an exotermic reaction, releasing energy which is used by the cell.sphate groups.
