Question

Nephron is a unit of filtration in kidneys that filters waste material. It selectively reabsorbs or excretes water with the help of capillaries that surround it. What is the likely benefit of this?

It makes the process of filtration at Bowman’s capsule easier.
It helps keep the output of urine constant throughout the day.
It helps to uptake and store excess amount of water in the body for later use.
)It maintains the concentration of urine based on the amount of water present in the body.

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

It helps to uptake and store excess amount of water in the body for later use.

Answer 2

(c) It helps to uptake and store excess amount of water in the body for later use. Nephron is a unit of filtration in kidneys that filters waste material.It selectively reabsorbs or excretes water with the help of capillaries that surround it.

Explanation:

• Each of your kidneys is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons.
• Each nephron includes a filter called the glomerulus and a tubule.
• The nephrons work through a two step process the glomerulus filters your blood and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.
• Nephron is a functional unit of the kidney the structure that actually produces urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the blood.
• Each nephron has a glomerulus the site of blood filtration.
• The glomerulus is a network of capillaries surrounded by a cuplike structure the glomerular capsule (or Bowman's capsule).
