A possible consequence of staphylococcal infections is glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis affects the filtration membrane by causing the basement membrane underlying the glomerular endothelium to lose its negative charge. The negative charge on the basement membrane is what prevents plasma proteins from entering the filtrate. Thus, with this condition, proteins can enter the urine (proteinuria). What effect will this have on the glomerular filtration rate

Which of the following choices is not an effective solution to the energy waste related to inefficient lighting? a. using low-pressure sodium lighting sources b. pointing lights on billboards and street signs upward c. placing light sources on time controls d. shielding light to direct it downward

During the day, plants produce by splitting water molecules in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. at the same time, plants use cellular respiration to produce some of the needed by the light-independent reactions to make sugars. during the night, plants produce because takes place.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
