Explanation

The nephron is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney

There are almost 1000000 of nephrons in each kidney in the human body

Explanation

• Rod cells are responsible for vision in low light conditions, such as at night or in dimly lit environments.
• They are more sensitive than cone cells and can detect even a single photon of light.

Explanation

Non-renewable energy sources:

• Oil
  
• Nuclear energy
• Petroleum
• Natural gas & coal

Renewable sources of energy:

• Solar energy
• Wind energy
• Hydroelectric power
• Biomass energy
• Geothermal energy
• Tidal energy

Explanation

• Replication is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA before cell division, ensuring that the new cell receives a complete set of genetic instructions.
• This process is crucial for the transmission of genetic information from one generation of cells to the next.

Explanation

• In space exploration, a spectroscope is typically used to analyze the light coming from stars, planets, and other celestial objects to determine their chemical composition.
• This helps scientists understand the formation and evolution of stars, planets, and galaxies.

Explanation

• The cerebellum is a structure in the hindbrain.
• It coordinates movement, balance, and learning.

Explanation

• Vitamin A (specifically, retinal) is necessary for the formation of rhodopsin, a light-sensitive pigment in the retina of the eye.
• Rhodopsin is responsible for black-and-white vision and is found in the rod cells of the retina.
• Vitamin A deficiency can lead to night blindness, a condition where people have difficulty seeing in low light environments.

Explanation

• The greenhouse effect refers to the way certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
• Such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, trap heat from the sun, keeping the planet warm enough to support life.

Explanation

• The Mole (mol) is the SI unit of amount of substance, representing 6.022 x 10^23 particles.
• It is used to measure the amount of a substance in a sample.

Explanation

The burning of substances in air or oxygen on heating, with the release of a large amount of heat energy and light energy, is called combustion

while

In conduction, heat transfer occurs between objects by direct contact.

In convection, the heat transfer takes within the fluid

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it's the opposite of evaporation
