In your own words describe the production of urine using the following terms: kidney, renal arteries, nephron, glomerulus,
Bowman's capsule, convoluted tubule, collecting tubule, and bladder.

Production of urine

Explanation:

The three major steps in urine formation in the urinary system are – glomerular filtration, reabsorption and secretion – all of which results in removal of waste and excessive water from the body.

Kidneys are the main organs of the urinary system which takes part in the formation of urine. The kidneys are supplied by the renal arteries and capillaries. Each kidney consist numerous functional units called nephrons. Each nephron has a renal corpuscular and a tubular structure.

The renal corpuscle holds the Bowman’s capsule which contains the tuft of blood capillaries called the glomerulus. Glomerular filtration of blood plasma flowing in its capillary systems filters filterable components of blood like water and smaller solute particles leaving behind non-filterable blood cells, large proteins, etc. The filtered components gets collected in the glomerulus and forms the glomerular filtrate.

This filtrate then travels through the tubular structure – convoluted tubule and Loop of Henle, where reabsorption of water and nutrient ions takes place.

The remaining waste ions, and hydrogen ions are then collected in the collecting tubule. This is secretion of urine which then passes to the urinary bladder through the ureters.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
