Answer Concisely. Much Obliged. Climate change is an increasing threat that scientists are trying to not only combat but prepare for future increases in temperature and rainfall. One of the effects of climate change is the warming of ocean and air temperatures. The sex of sea turtle offspring is determined by temperature during development. Temperature over 87° Fahrenheit will result in female offspring. In 3-5 sentences, describe how organisms like the sea turtle might adapt to the rise in ocean and air temperatures. In your explanation, describe the correlation between environmental factors and natural selection.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
