What does phosphorus do in the body?

Biology
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Phosphorus assists in energy metabolism.

It helps in the usage and storage of energy in the body. Also, whenever, phosphorus levels in the blood get too low energy levels tend to drop. This could lead to weakness in the muscles and fatigue

What is diffusion? Include in your explanation "area of high concentration" and "area of low concentration". Does diffusion occu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process of small molecules moving from a high concentrated area to a lower concentrated area. For example, in a crowded train station, when a train arrives, people move from the high concentrated area, which is the platform, and move onto the lower concentrated area, which is the trian.

Explanation:

The process of diffusion does not cost any energy, as it happens naturally, and would cost energy to go against it, like trying to go from the train into the platform costs more energy than just going with the crowd into the train. And only small molecules can do this without using energy. Large molecules, like starch, can't do this without using energy.(ATP) hopefully, this helped you, and it would mean a lot to me if you could give me brainliest!

How does flouride cause kidney deasies
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Hepato- and nephrotoxicity of fluoride have been demonstrated in animals, but few studies have examined potential effects in humans. This population-based study examines the relationship between chronic low-level fluoride exposure and kidney and liver function among United States (U.S.) adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate whether greater fluoride exposure is associated with altered kidney and liver parameters among U.S. youth.

This cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013–2016). We analyzed data from 1983 and 1742 adolescents who had plasma and water fluoride measures respectively and did not have kidney disease. Fluoride was measured in plasma and household tap water. Kidney parameters included estimated glomerular filtration rate (calculated by the original Schwartz formula), serum uric acid, and the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio. Liver parameters were assessed in serum and included alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and albumin. Survey-weighted linear regression examined relationships between fluoride exposure and kidney and liver parameters after covariate adjustment. A Holm-Bonferroni correction accounted for multiple comparisons.

The average age of adolescents was 15.4 years. Median water and plasma fluoride concentrations were 0.48 mg/L and 0.33 μmol/L respectively. A 1 μmol/L increase in plasma fluoride was associated with a 10.36 mL/min/1.73 m2 lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (95% CI: −17.50, −3.22; p = 0.05), a 0.29 mg/dL higher serum uric acid concentration (95% CI: 0.09, 0.50; p = 0.05), and a 1.29 mg/dL lower blood urea nitrogen concentration (95%CI: −1.87, −0.70; p < 0.001). A 1 mg/L increase in water fluoride was associated with a 0.93 mg/dL lower blood urea nitrogen concentration (95% CI: −1.44, −0.42; p = 0.007).

Fluoride exposure may contribute to complex changes in kidney and liver related parameters among U.S. adolescents. As the study is cross-sectional, reverse causality cannot be ruled out; therefore, altered kidney and/or liver function may impact bodily fluoride absorption and metabolic processes.

hope this helps
