The organ responsible for filtering up to 95% of th
maintaining body pH is the
pancreas.
urethra.
kidney.
A pancreas
B urethra
C kidney
D gall bladder
Answer:
C. Kidney
Explanation:
The kidney is a vital organ in the human body. It is bean shaped and helps in the filtration of toxic substances and wastes from the body fluids which is then reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
The kidney also controls the level of water, pH and sodium levels. It however controls the blood pH by excretion of hydrogen ions and forming bicarbonate which ensures the blood pH is within its optimal and normal range.
Answer:
kidneys
Explanation:
The kidneys are the body's filtration system, and are responsible for filtering out the fluids in the body. The biproduct of this is called urine and is removed from the body

Swimmers push water backwards to propel forwards. In other words, swimmers push their hands and legs against water to move forward. This is stated in the third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Essential amino acids are amino acids that must be obtained through the diet. Non‑essential amino acids can be made biosynthetically. Classify the amino acids into either essential or non‑essential amino acids.
Answer:
Explanation:
There are at present 20 major amino acids produced in the body. These amino acids are important biological components in the body. They are the building blocks of proteins. Also essential in the synthesis of nucleotides including the DNA and RNA. There are different ways of classified these amino acids:
Essential and non essential. The essential amino acids cannot be synthesized from scratch in the body but has to be obtained from our diet, while non essential is produced by the body
Acidic, basic, neutral, polar, non polar etc.
The essential amino acids are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
While the non essential amino acids are: alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.

The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. eliminate waste products from the blood act as a reactant in carbohydrate storage catalyze chemical reactions maintain homeostasis maintain a neutral pH
Answer:
catalyze chemical reactions
Explanation:
An enzyme is a proteinous substance that acts as biological catalysts and increases the rate of biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are specific in nature which is as a result of the structure/shape of its building block (amino acid).
Enzymes speedens the rate of a chemical reaction in living systems, which would normally not occur or occur at a much slower rate, without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes acts on the reactants called Substrates by binding to them to form products but they are not used up in the reaction. Hence, enzymes are not reactants.
Angiosperms (flowering plants) and vertebrates obtain nutrients from their environment in different ways. a. Discuss the type of nutrition and the nutritional requirements of angiosperms and vertebrates. b. Describe 2 structural adaptations in angiosperms for obtaining nutrients from the environment. Relate structure to function. c. Interdependence in nature is evident in symbiosis. Explain two symbiotic relationships that aid in nutrient uptake, using examples from angiosperms and/or vertebrates. (Both examples may be angiosperms, both may be vertebrates, or one may be from each group.)
Answer:
a. Angiosperm are plants (autotrophs) that use photosynthesis to produce their own food, while vertebrates are animals (heterotrophs) that obtain their food from other organisms. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.
b. Adaptations in angiosperms include two reproductive structures 1- fruits (ovaries), whose main function is to disperse the seeds and 2- flowers that ensure pollination and protect the embryo sac during its formation.
c . Examples:
1- The mycorrhizal symbiosis between plant roots and symbiotic fungi plays a key role in nutrient uptake from the soil. Arbuscular mycorrhizal is a type of symbiosis where a fungus of the phylum Glomeromycota penetrates the cortical root cells of vascular plants to produce specialized structures named arbuscules.
2- Microflora in the vertebrate digestive tract. The microorganisms that live in the digestive tract of vertebrate species are beneficial for the absorption of nutrients. For example, in humans, Saccharomyces boulardii has shown to have a probiotic effect by increasing intestinal homeostasis, thereby enhancing nutrient uptake.
2. If a nucleus has 8 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present after Telophase I? 3. What advantage does crossing-over have in reproduction? 6. Compare and contrast spermatogenesis and oogenesis (where do they occur, how many gametes are formed, when do they develop, etc):
Answer:
Telophase I: 8 chromosomes composed of two sister chromatids
Crossing over refers to the mechanism of recombination, this process being characterized in that increases the genetic variation
Spermatogenesis refers to the mechanism of formation of male gametes (sperms), while oogenesis is the process of formation of female gametes (oocytes)
Explanation:
Telophase I is the final step in meiosis I. During telophase I, the nuclear membrane is formed around the decondensed set of chromosomes and the nucleoli reappear.
Spermatogenesis refers to the process by which haploid male germ cells (sperms) are generated within the seminiferous tubules in the testis, while oogenesis refers to the process of differentiation of the female egg cells (ova or oocytes) in the ovaries. Spermatogenesis is known to produce small and motile spermatic cells, while oogenesis is known to produce bigger non-motile oocytes.
Below are two chemical equations. One is for cellular respiration and one is for photosynthesis. Correctly place the reactants and products in the right location to complete both equations.

+02
Answer:
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
Hope that helps.
The correct equation for cellular respiration and one for photosynthesis are:
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
What is cellular respiration?Cellular respiration is a process of converting food into energy that can be used in many processes. It happens when oxygen is combined with food material and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
The correct reaction of photosynthesis is when carbon dioxide and water are combined with sunlight to form glucose and oxygen.
The correct reaction of cellular respiration is when glucose and oxygen react and release carbon dioxide and water and energy,
Thus, the correct reactions are:
Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Cellular Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Which of the following could be discovered by studying the gross anatomy of a cadaver?
The function of cells within the body
The types of cells within each organ
The function of the body's organs and systems
The structure of the body's organs and systems
Answer:
The structure of the body's organs and systems
Explanation:
In medicine, a cadaver is a dead human body dissected in order to study its anatomical structure. It is employed by medical students and other medical practitioners to study the structure of the human body.
Anatomy is a branch of science that has to do with the study of the structure of living organisms. Relating anatomy to cadaver, these dead bodies are dissected in order to view and study the structure of the different compartments of the body e.g organs, systems etc.
The uterine cycle describes the cyclic changes of thickening and degeneration that the endometrium goes through in a month. What is the order of events in one uterine cycle
Answer:
During the uterine month there are different phases through which the uterus passes, these phases are regulated by hormones and are responsible for producing the cycle necessary for fertilization.
Phase where menstruation occurs: This phase only happens if the woman was not fertilized and did not develop the diploid cell together with a sperm, since not being fertilized, all the uterine preparation that had been planned in the body for fertilization will be released as that we know "menstruation", in this phase estrogens and progesterone are low. The inner walls of the unfertilized uterus are released.
Follicular phase, in the follicular phase the ovaries prepare to release an egg and estrogen begins to rise. (From the first day of the period until ovulation)
Proliferative phase, in the proliferative phase, new vessels proliferate and the outermost layer of the uterus prepares itself for possible fertilization, is where spiral arterioles can begin to form again in the external cut of the myometrium.
Ovulation, here is where the mature ovum is called Graff's follicle, at this time estrogen reaches its peak and then descends.
Luteal phase, in the luteal phase the production of the luteal body is generated, at this stage progesterone takes center stage, and it is the range between ovulation and menstruation (if not fertilized)
Last phase, secret phase, in this phase there are two possible ends, if the woman is fertilized, the egg cell implants and begins the development of the embryo and if it is not fertilized, the entire external cut of the myometrium is prepared to be secreted.
Explanation:
A very important fact to clarify is that women are born with a quantity of ovules that at the end of this uterine cycle ceases to exist, this process is what we know as menopause.
That is to say that women have a quantity of ovules that will one day run out, and the body releases them from the menarche or the first menstruation, generating that in each released ovule a uterine cycle is completed, the day they end the woman will have reached menopause and would have no chance of being fertilized or completing the uterine cycle.
superficial layer of the endometrium is shed
basal layer of endometrium grows, forms gland and blood vessels
enriched endometrial blood supply
endometrial glands secrete nutrients into uterus
Which of these lymphoid organs destroys bacteria before it can breach the intestinal wall and generates "memory" lymphocytes for long-term memory?
Answer:
Peyers patches
Explanation:
Peyers patches are group of lymphoid follicles found in the ileum of the small intestine.
This part of lymphatic system form part of immune system that help to control bacteria population in the small intestine and prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the small intestines. It plays an important role in immune surveillance where it recognises pathogenic bacteria and destroy the bacteria.
It is a lymphoid organs destroys bacteria before it can breach the intestinal wall and generates "memory" lymphocytes for long-term memory because it form the part of the immune system which help to fight infection or foreign substances in the body, also by generating lymphocytes which is a white blood cells of the immune system which generate long term memory of foreign pathogens and destroying it.
Phytoplankton, shown on the left in the image below, are microscopic organisms that can be found in freshwater and salt water environments. They perform photosynthesis to get energy and act as an important food source for larger organisms, such as the whale that is shown on the right. Phytoplankton A large whale. Which characteristic describes the whale but not its food source, the phytoplankton? The whale is heterotrophic. The whale has cell walls. The whale is unicellular. The whale is a prokaryote.
Answer:
The whale is heterotrophic.
Explanation:
Energy is needed by organisms to perform their life functions. Organisms, in nature, feed on one another for energy source. Some organisms are, however, capable of synthesizing their own food or energy source via a process called photosynthesis. This is the case of the phytoplankton in the question. These organisms are, therefore, called AUTOTROPHIC ORGANISMS or PRODUCERS.
On the other hand, some organisms are incapable of this self-production of energy source. Hence, they rely on other organisms for it. These category of organisms are called HETEROTROPHIC organisms, which is the category the large whale fall into due to its dependence on phytoplankton for energy source.

In 1998, paleoanthropologist Rick Potts published an article in The Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, a peer-reviewed journal. The article was titled “Environmental Hypotheses of Hominin Evolution.” In his paper, Potts claimed that great variations in environmental conditions over time were responsible for the adaptability of humans and the success of our species. Which would most likely be found in his paper? a review of modern human anatomical structure evidence of changing environmental conditions, with references the reasons competing hypotheses are wrong his opinion of what will happen to the survival of the human race
Answer:
Dr. Potts used environmental data to support environmental hypotheses capable of explaining human evolution
Explanation:
In this paper, the author stated that environmental factors have been fundamental for the emergence of adaptive traits during human evolution. In consequence, Dr. Potts explained how particular environmental factors and habitats might have shaped human evolution. For example, it has been hypothesized that dry savanna vegetation might have been a key environmental factor associated to the emergence of human traits including, among others, bipedality, making of tools from stones, the development of human brains, etc. In order to prove this hypothesis, the author recorded environmental data from different regions in Africa (Olorgesailie, Olduvai, Turkana, Zhoukoudian, etc), where it is believed that first hominids evolved about 6-8 million years ago.

Answer:
Meiosis is the mechanism used for producing gametes in multicellular organisms whereas it does
unicellular organisms.
Explanation:
Meiosis is a kind of cell division used mainly by sexually-reproducing organisms, whether unicellular or multicellular, to produce gametes i.e. meiosis only occurs during gamete formation.
In sexual reproduction, gametes must fuse in a process called fertilization. This gametes, however, must each possess half of the chromosome number of the individual organism. Meiosis is the process that ensures that the chromosome number of the gametes is reduced by half i.e. diploid (2n) to haploid (n).
Therefore, meiosis is the process of gamete formation in sexually-reproducing unicellular or multicellular organisms.
a strand of dna contains the base sequence AGTT . What is the sequence of the complimentary strand of DNA
Answer:
The sequence is TCAA
Explanation:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two complementary chains of nucleotides. The nucleotides are in turn composed of one nitrogenous base, one deoxyribose sugar, and one phosphate group. The four different types of nitrogen bases found in DNA are thymine (substituted by Uracil during RNA transcription), adenine, cytosine and guanine. These bases bind by complementary base pairing to form an antiparallel double-strand. The complementary base pairing rule states that thymine forms two hydrogen bonds with adenine, while cytosine forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine.
Answer:
TCAA
Explanation:
A matches to T and G matches to C.

a, Organelles that have their own unique unique DNA and ribosomes
Organelles that have a double membrane
6. Organelles are in the same size range as free living prokaryotes
d. All of the above
Answer:
d. All of the above
Explanation:
The theory of endosymbiosis is important as it explains the evolution of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells.
This theory also explains the origin of chloroplast and mitochondria. Several evidences in support of the importance of endosymbiosis in the evolution of eukaryotic cells are as following:
Organelles have their own separate DNA and ribososme.Organelles that have a double membrane (inner and outer).Organelles are in the same size range as free-living prokaryotes.Chloroplast and mitochondria are the examples of such organelles.
Hence, the correct answer is "d".
