Answer:
Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg. The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>
Explanation:
Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg
Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg
Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg
Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg
Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient - Oncotic pressure gradient
Hydrostatic pressure gradient = Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg - 0 mmHg = 30 mmHg
Oncotic pressure gradient = Capillary colloid osmotic pressure - Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure =25 - 2 = 23 mmHg
Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient - Oncotic pressure gradient = 30 mmHg - 23 mmHg = 7 mmHg.
Hence, The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>
Answer:
The effects of weathering disintegrate and alter mineral and rocks near or at the earth's surface. This shapes the earth's surface through such processes as wind and rain erosion or cracks caused by freezing and thawing. Each process has a distinct effect on rocks and minerals.
Both help the planet but algae can do it way faster.
The geosphere has four subsystems called the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere. Because these subsystems interact with each other and the biosphere, they work together to influence the climate, trigger geological processes, and affect life all over the Earth.
