The organs that are involved in the excretion of water from the body include:
1. Kidneys (Primary organ for water removal)
2. Skin
3. Lungs
The kidneys play a key role in maintaining the water balance of the body. The kidneys control the water levels in the body by conserve water when there is shortage, and they can expel excess water by diluting the urine.
The skin has water in it. This water gets lost to the atmosphere by the process of evaporation. This is independent of the process of sweating wherein the skin actively releases water in the form of sweat to cool the body.
Our breath has a lot of moisture in it. This moisture is present due to the evaporation process taking place within the lungs due to the heat of the body. Thus lungs also become a part of the water loss mechanism.
The amount of total energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through, so 90% is lost at each level. This means that only 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; and the rest is lost as heat.
In this case, if a plant ecosystem has 3000000 kilocalories (kcal) of energy, about 300000 kcal will be transferred to primary consumers (for example grass hoppers). If the red-tailed hawks are tertiary consumers, they will get 3000 kcal of energy.
The endosymbiotic theory which is also sometimes referred to as symbiogenesis states that all the organelles of the eukaryotic cells are prokaryotic cells that tends to live in a much larger host. This theory is important because it does explains how the eukaryotic cells are able to obtain the needed nourishment that is believed to be replenished by the prokaryotic cells.
I believe the primary determinant of basal metabolic rate is the Lean Body Mass. Basal metabolic is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by animals at rest. It comprises the processes that the body requires to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person need to keep the body operational at a state of rest.
The following options are attached to the above question:
A. Metabolism
B. Absorption
C. Oxidation
D. Excretion
ANSWER
The correct option is C.
Biological oxidation of alcohol is the process by which the liver handles the presence of alcohol in the body system. The liver is responsible for metabolizing the alcohol that are present in the body. The metabolism of alcohol occurs in two steps; the first step is the oxidation of alcohol to ethanal or acetaldehyde. This product is very toxic to the human body and is majorly responsible for the symptoms of hangover that drinkers usually experience. The liver oxidises ethanal to acetic acid as quickly as possible in order to prevent damage to the body system.
