The figure shown below represents a common type of dialysis called Haemodialysis. It removes waste products from the blood. Such as excess salts, and urea which are insufficiently removed by the kidney in patients with kidney failure. During the procedure, the patient’s blood is cleaned by filtration through a series of semipermeable membranes before being returned to the blood of the patient. On the basis of this, answer the following questions: Clean blood returned to patient Clean blood mA ‘Semipermeable membrane Fresh dialysate with waste (a) (i) Name the filtering units present in the human kidneys. (ii) Name the main excreting waste removed by kidneys from blood? (b) What are the two main functions of kidneys? (d) What are the major factors on which the amount of water reabsorbed in the part of nephron depends? 20. In the first activity, a student Rudra took some freshly prepared lime water in two test tubes marked A and B. He blew air through the lime water in test tube A. He then used a syringe or pichkari and passed air through the fresh lime water in test tube B, Pichkari 4 bt Tube | Rubber | | tube Test Tube rare. containing limewater (Ses 3) TestTubeA Test Tube B In the second activity, another student Siya took some fruit juice or sugar solution and added some yeast to this. She took this mixture in a test tube fitted with a one-holed cork and fitted thecork with a bent glass tube. She dipped the free end of the glass tube into a test tube containing freshly prepared lime water. sugar solution yeast. (a) In the first activity, what were the observations made by Rudra? What can be interpreted from his observations? (b) Siya performed the second activity by taking yeast powder and fruit juice, she observed that lime water turned milky after few hours.
