Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The phase in which the urine of the children contains the lowest level of malathion metabolite in the following experiment.
Given:
Levels of metabolites (breakdown products) of malathion and chlorpyrifos in the urine of children taking part in a study of effects of an organic diet:
Malathion metabolite Chlorpyrifos metabolite |
Study phase | No. of samples | Mean (µg/L) | Maximum (µg/L) | Mean (µg/L) | Maximum (µg/L) |
Nonorganic | 87 | 2.9 | 96.5 | 7.2 | 31.1 |
Organic | 116 | 0.3 | 7.4 | 1.7 | 17.1 |
Nonorganic | 156 | 4.4 | 263.1 | 5.8 | 25.3 |
Introduction:
Organic foods are produced by using methods that meet the standard of organic farming. These foods are produced without any chemical fertilizers; only green manure or plant debris is added to the fields. The chemicals get accumulated in the body and cause diseases, but organic food is considered ecofriendly as it does not have chemicals.

If there is 180 Liters of fluid passing through the glomerulus every 24 hours, then why doesn’t all of that 180 liters turn into urine for excretion?
1. Because most of that fluid is reabsorbe
2. Because most of that fluid is secreted into the blood
3. Because most of that fluid is absorbed back into the glomerulus
4. Because when the bladder fills up to its maximum capacity, water is absorbed back into the body directly from the bladder.
give two examples of how urine samples can indicate the health of the human body.
Which of the following statements is false regarding aging?
a) Decreased ability to contribute to vitamin D synthesis, leading to Ca2 + deficiency and bone fractures.
b) Numbers of glomeruli decrease and hence the ability to secrete and reabsorb.
c) Gradually increasing size of the kidneys
d) The ability to concentrate urine decreases and the kidneys respond to memories of ADH and aldosterone.
