why did you divided 125 by 700 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what about the 1200 ?
That was the total unfiltered volume as far as I remember the question!! we were supposed to find the % of plasma in the glomerular filtrate! The total G.F was 700 and the G.f which passes was 125 cm^3.So (125/700 *100) gives us 17.97%. Also the question was only worth 2 Mks

im pretty sure it was just 125/700 x 100...

This formulae doesnt make sense, you're multiplying percentage by amount.
if u read the statment well u will get it
multiplying the percentage by 125 means that
58.3 per cent of blood was plasma
so 58.3 percent of the 125 is 72.9

Heres some answers:

pupfish seperated -> allopatric speciation

when rejoined -> directional selection, survival of the fittest

plasma percentage -> 125/700 x 100

why calcium2+ comes in -> because voltage gated channels open upon depolarization

what does turtles ion channels closing do -> prevents depolarization by keeping ion conc. constant

no :)
its total non sense to divide 125 by 700
because it 125 cm3 of 1200 passes
and out of the 1200 blood 700 is plasma !
would not be fear to ignore thwe other substances in the blood !

think about it....does the whole of the blood pass into the renal capsule??....only the plasma of the blood passes through rite???....no red or white blood cells.....there was 750cm3 of plasma.....and 125cm3 passed into the renal capsule....so percentage is 125/700 *100

Total plasma 700 , fluid passed 125. All.we have to do is calculate the %. How do we do that? Fluid passed/total fluid x 100

No i got that, but what i dont understand is why would you make 58.3 percent of the 125? considering the examiner has already told us 125 cm3 has gotten through? and 1200 was the volume occupied by plasma fluid and also OTHER compounds e.g protiens which cant get through basement membrane
