    Summary Introduction

    Introduction:

    In the body, kidneys are found as the pair of bear-shaped structure which are found below the liver in the peritoneal cavity. These bots structures play the functions of the major excretory system as it undergoes the ultrafiltration of the blood.

    Answer to Problem 1VCQ

    Correct answer:

    The correct answer is option (c) The cortex covers the capsule.

    Explanation of Solution

    Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

    Option(c) The cortex covers the capsule. Renal cortex is found as the outer region of the kidney which is formed by the outer extensions of cortical tissue. It is found as the outer portion present between the renal capsule and renal medulla. So it does not found as the covering of capsule only.

    Explanation for incorrect answer:

    Option (a). Renal pelvis drains into the ureter. The renal pelvis is found as the inner region of the kidney that enters into the ureter which is present outside the kidney. So, this is an incorrect option.

    Option (b) Renal pyramids are in the medulla. Renal Medulla is found at the medial region of the kidney which contains many renal pyramids. These pyramids are found as the pyramidal masses of tissues. So, this is an incorrect answer.

    Option (d) Nephrons are in the renal cortex. The renal cortex contains the millions of structure and functional unit of the kidney known as nephrons.

    Conclusion

    Renal cortex is found as the outer region other of the kidney which is formed by the outer extensions of cortical tissue. Hence, the correct answer in s an option (c) The cortex covers the capsule.

    Build a model of a prokaryotic cell using any material of your choice. In your model be sure to include all the structures appropriate to your cell. You may model a bacterial cell or an archaea. You will model at least 4 structures in any model. Next, build a model of a virus using the same type of materials. You may choose any type of virus but be sure you can illustrate the key features of a virus (head shape for example). Once complete, take multiple photographs of your models from all angles. Include these images in a document that also contains the following completed table format. You may need to add rows to your table depending on the type of prokaryote you model. Structure Model Key Found in Different in Function Virus Virus Once your model is complete, write a brief description of your cell and your virus. Emphasize features that are absent in viruses that classify them as non-living. You can refer to specific structures in your table in this explanation. Some suggestions for…
    (This is a 2-part work, Part 1 is done, only Part 2 is to be worked on at the bottom)Part 1 (Done): Describe the levels of structural hierarchy for the human body, starting with the organismal level and ending with the chemical level. In addition, you should make sure you link each level to the previous level, emphasizing the structural relationships. The human body is organized into a structural hierarchy that progresses from the macroscopic organismal level down to the microscopic chemical level. Each level builds upon the previous one, creating increasingly complex structures. Below is the hierarchy, from largest to smallest, with explanations linking each level to its predecessor:   1. Organismal Level The entire living human body.Relationship: All lower levels work together to sustain life at this highest level.   2. Organ System Level Groups of organs working together to perform major functions.Examples: circulatory, nervous, digestive systems.Relationship: The organismal…
