<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Glomerular filtration is the process which kidneys uses to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so that they may be eliminated from the body
  • The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
  • The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus, this is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
  • The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure

Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is c. 3 ' hydroxyl of deoxyribose.  
<span>
During the DNA synthesis via PCR, polymerization occurs in 5’-3’ direction. This means that enzyme DNA polymerase which synthesizes a new DNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand (3’-<span>5’ direction). 5’ phosphate group of the free nucleotides which are added is attached to the 3'-hydroxyl group at the end of the elongating DNA strand.</span></span>

Scientists at Russia’s Vostok Station in eastern Antarctica drilled the longest ice core ever recorded. They compiled this graph
Wittaler [7]
The data supports the fourth choice, that increasing air temperature and CO2 levels correlate with a decrease in dust concentration.

The first choice is unlikely to reflect dust concentration, and is more likely to be for air temperature. The second choice is false, because the dust concentration is more of a decreasing trend. The third choice is not true, as the spikes in air temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations seem to occur simultaneously, implying a positive correlation.

How can using a dam as a source of freshwater also harm agricultural resources?
Snezhnost [94]

The dam acts as a barrier between upstream and downstream.  Dams are also built for irrigation, but it is also deliberately destroyed in favor of irrigated farming. Though it provides freshwater, and makes people be protected by droughts, but it can also damage the agricultural resources by limiting the water in some areas.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum.

Explanation:

The clavicle is an anterior bone whose sternal end articulates with the manubrium of the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint. The sternal end is also anchored to the first rib by the costoclavicular ligament. The medial end, also known as the sternal end of the clavicle, has a triangular shape and articulates with the manubrium portion of the sternum. This forms the sternoclavicular joint, which is the only bony articulation between the pectoral girdle of the upper limb and the axial skeleton.
