Answer:
The correct answer is glomerular capsule.
Explanation:
The glomerular capsule or the Bowman's capsule refers to a cup-like sack at the initiation of the tubular part of a nephron in the kidney of a mammal, which performs the initial step in the filtration of blood to produce urine. In Bowman's capsule, the blood filtration process is termed as glomerular filtration or ultrafiltration.
The usual rate of filtration is 125 millimeters per minute. Any small molecules like glucose, water, amino acids, salts, and urea can pass into the Bowman's space without any hindrance, however, the platelets, cells, and large proteins do not passes through.
During the second trimester, energy needs of pregnant women are 340 more kcalories per day than those of nonpregnant women.
Answer:
If a plant cell is placed in distilled water, water will enter the cell and the cell contents will expand. However, the elastic cell wall exerts a back pressure, which will limit the net gain of water.
Explanation:
a. The Calvin Cycle: is a cyclic pathway that produces three carbon molecules from CO 2.
Answer:
a) Most alcohol is metabolized in the small intestine.
b) Food in the stomach slows the absorption of alcohol.
c) Alcohol inhibits the release of anti diuretic hormone, which can lead to dehydration.
Explanation:
About 80 % of alcohol is absorbed by the stomach while 20 % of alcohol is absorbed by stomach. Food materials such as lipids etc slow down alcohol absorption by the intestine because the valve that is present between stomach and small intestine is closed if food is present in the stomach. Alcohol decreases the release of anti diuretic hormone, so low water is removed from the body and reduce dehydration.
