What process cause salts and other wastes to move out of blood during filtration?

Filtration in the kidneys occurs in the glomerulus, where blood pressure forces water, salts, and waste products out of the blood and into the renal tubules. This process creates a filtrate that eventually forms urine after reabsorption and secretion occur in other parts of the nephron.

Describe how your kidneys remove waste from your body?

The kidney receives blood that it must filter. It has filtering chambers. It separates bad things and converts it to urea. Then it goes through small tubing after it is filtered. The good cleaned blood is sent back to the body and the urea is sent to the bladder.

What basic protein forms the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes?

Histones are the basic proteins that form the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes. These proteins help to package and condense the DNA within the cell nucleus.


What is a new nuclear membrane form and chromosomes become less tightly coiled called?

What does the combination of a magnetic field and a coiled wire to create?

The combination of a magnetic field and a coiled wire can create an electric current through electromagnetic induction. When the magnetic field changes within the coil, it induces a voltage that leads to the flow of current within the wire. This phenomenon forms the basis of how generators produce electricity.
