Question 11 (1 point) What prevents backflow of urine into the kidneys? O

Biology
1 answer:
Greeley [361]3 years ago

Answer:

#Mitral valves

There is a valve at the meeting point between each ureter and the bladder to prevent the backflow of urine into the kidneys.

Urinary reflux means that one (or both) of these valves is not working properly.

If you have urinary reflux, during urination the urine travels up the affected ureter to the kidney instead of flowing out of the body.

Urinary reflux most commonly occurs in babies and children.

In most cases, the valve will correct itself as a child grows and matures.

In severe cases, surgery may be needed to remodel the valve.

#Urine flows from each kidney through tubes called ureters and into the bladder. When the bladder is full, it squeezes and sends the urine out through the urethra. No urine should flow back into the ureter when the bladder is squeezing. Each ureter has a one-way valve where it enters the bladder that prevents urine from flowing back up the ureter.

Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?
nydimaria [60]
Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.
