How many kidneys do you have?

About 200 quarts of blood filters through the kidneys each day, which creates about 2 quarts of waste and water that becomes urine and drains to the bladder. The kidneys are connected to the vascular system via the renal arteries and receive approximately 20 percent of the blood pumped by the heart every minute. The kidneys are important in regulating the body's fluids, blood pressure, calcium level and electrolyte balance.

How many phosphate groups does ATP contain?

Energy is released when carbohydrates and proteins are broken down within the cell. This energy is used to add a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate to convert it to ATP, where it is stored until needed. When the cell requires energy, ATP is hydrolyzed to release a free phosphate group and the lower-energy ADP. This reaction is spontaneous, or exergonic, releasing energy that the cell uses to drive nonspontaneous reactions. The ADP produced during the hydrolysis is then available for use the next time it is needed to help capture energy.

What elements make up carbohydrates?

One important characteristic that is common to carbohydrates is that there are always twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms. For instance, maltose has 11 oxygen atoms and 22 hydrogen atoms.\nCarbohydrates are types of sugars, but they come in many sizes and forms. Some, such as glucose and fructose, are simple sugars used as energy sources. Polysaccharides, or starches, are large combinations of carbohydrates. Some are also found in foods such as potatoes and pasta. Cellulose is a polysaccharide found in plants that helps support their structures. Another polysaccharide, chitin, is foun..

How many petals does a sunflower have?

The number of spirals in the center of a sunflower corresponds to a specific Fibonacci number. The head of the sunflower is made up of small seeds that are produced at its center and then migrate towards the outside of the flower. Each seed appears at a specific angle in relation to the one that came before it.\nThe petals of the sunflower are formed at the extremity of one of the seeds at the edge of the spiral. This is the reason the petals correspond with a Fibonacci number.

What is an anteverted uterus?

The position of the uterus may change due to conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroid tumors, surgery, pregnancy and aging, according to Women's Health, but normal life, including sex, does not change its position. A uterus that tilts toward the back is called a retroverted uterus. BabyCenter notes that this position is not considered an abnormality since it describes the position of the uterus rather than its structure.\nA retroverted uterus can make sex uncomfortable or painful, and it can cause back pain during intercourse and minor in..

What are the ionic radius trends?

As one moves down a group on the periodic table, the ionic radius increases because additional electrons are being added to the atom. Within a period, the radius trend is dependent on whether the ion is positive or negative. When moving across a period among positive ions, the number of protons increases. This decreases the ionic radius because the protons pull the negatively-charged electrons closer to the nucleus. Among negative ions, additional layers of electrons are being added, which increases the radius.

At what temperature does paper burn?

While Ray Bradbury's science fiction classic "Fahrenheit 451" got its title from what Bradbury believed to be the auto-ignition point of book paper, modern experiments indicate that the true combustion point is higher. The actual temperature at which paper burns depends on its volume, composition, density and shape and on the length of exposure to high temperature. In an oven set to 480 degrees, a sheet of paper would catch fire and burn much faster than a thick book.

What do H2O and NaCl yield?

The water of the world's oceans has a salinity generally around 35 parts per thousand. This is equivalent to 35 grams of salt per 1 kilogram of water, which occupies roughly 1 liter of volume.\nPurified and sterilized sodium chloride in water at a ratio of 9 grams of salt per kilogram of water is known as a saline solution. It is used to rinse eyes and clean contact lenses. As a treatment it is administered intravenously, in cases of dehydration.
