Kidney stones form due to the crystallization of minerals and salts (such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid) in the urine. Dehydration, excessive salt intake, and metabolic disorders increase the risk of stone formation. Related Questions: Why is excretion necessary? Name some waste products of plants. How are carbon dioxide and oxygen removed from plants? … Read more

Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment, ensuring proper enzyme function, temperature regulation, pH balance, and fluid levels. It allows organisms to survive despite external changes. Related Questions: How is homeostasis maintained in plants? Why is excretion necessary? Name some waste products of plants. How are carbon dioxide and oxygen removed from plants? Name the structures … Read more
Carbon dioxide is removed through stomata during respiration. Oxygen is released through stomata during photosynthesis. Some gases also diffuse through the surface of leaves, stems, and roots.

Explain osmotic adjustment in plants.vc Write the role of skin, lungs, liver, and kidney in maintaining homeostasis. Describe the structure of a nephron. Explain the process of urine formation in humans. Discuss the disorders of the human excretory system. … Read more
Excretion is necessary to remove metabolic waste products like urea, carbon dioxide, and toxins from the body. If these substances accumulate, they can cause poisoning, disrupt homeostasis, and impair organ function. Related Questions: Name some waste products of plants. How are carbon dioxide and oxygen removed from plants? What is the importance of homeostasis? Name … Read more
a. Identify X and Y components. X = Blood cells and proteins Y = Urea and other waste products b. Why does blood component X not cross the dialysis membrane? Blood cells and proteins are too large to pass through the dialysis membrane. The membrane has microscopic pores that allow only small molecules like urea, … Read more
Homeostasis in plants is the process by which they maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. Several mechanisms help plants regulate internal conditions, ensuring they survive and thrive: Water Regulation (Transpiration and Stomatal Control): Plants regulate water loss and absorption to maintain water balance. Transpiration is the process of water evaporation through stomata (tiny … Read more
