2 answers:
❅ Structure of Kidney —
Length: 10-12 cm.
Width: 5-7 cm.
Thickness: 2-3 cm.
Location: both sides of the vertebral column.
<h3>EXPLANATION:</h3>❅ Hilum —
The hilum is a notch which is present on the inner surface towards the centre of the kidney. This notch allows the entrance of blood vessels, nerves and ureter in the kidney.
❅ Renal Pelvis —
Funnel-shaped structure towards the inner hilum. It has two zones. The inner zone is known as the medulla, and the outer zone is known as the cortex.
❅ Medulla —
It is divided into small medullary pyramids which are conical in shape. These are projected through the calyces.
❅ Cortex —
It is a structure which is present between the renal columns and the medullary pyramids. Columns of Bertini is another name of the renal columns.
❅ Nephrons —
These are particularly important and functional units of a kidney. They are complex tubular structures present in the count of millions. There are two parts of a nephron which include glomerulus and tubule. The glomerulus is responsible for the filtration of blood and toxic substances like nitrogenous wastes and ammonia.
➜ Kidneys are bean-shaped and located at the back of abdomen, one on either side of backbone. Its inner concave surface has a depression called hilum through which renal artery enters and renal vein leaves the kidney. Kidney has two regions: outer cortex and inner medulla. Each kidney has a large number of filtering units called nephrons.

Answer:
The word Glycosydic linkage summarizes the dehydration of carbohydrate.
Explanation:
Dehydration means elimination of water. During glycosydic linkage two Monosaccharides are linked with each other by the elimination of one molecule of water.
For exam in maltose two glucose molecules are linked with each other in which the -OH group of C4 atom of one glucose molecule interact with the -OH group of C1 carbon of another glucose molecule resulting in the formation of Alpha 1,4 glycosydic bond.
