Answer:

Lysosomes

Explanation:

Death is a process that consists of different phases that lead to the decomposition of the body. One of the first phases, which occurs minutes after death, is the process known as autolysis, which begins once the cells are deprived of oxygen.

During autolysis, the body's enzymes begin to digest the membranes of the cells, breaking down the whole cells. This process is initiated by organelles known as lysosomes, which are in charge of releasing these enzymes that are involved in the 'digestion' of the human tissues.

Which of the following statements is true?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) The kidneys are paired organs that regulate water and electrolyte balance in terrestrial vertebrates.

Explanation:

The kidneys are the organs that control, for example, the volume of body fluid compartments, acid-base balance, and electrolyte concentrations. These organs are also key to eliminate the toxins from the body.

The kidneys are always two (when not is because of a pathology or the surgical removal of one of the two) and are present in vertebrates.

The kidneys do not regulate blood glucose. That is the job of the pancreas through two hormones called insulin and glucagon.

The kidneys do not remove nitrogenous wastes (urea) from the urine, instead they filtrate these wastes from the blood for these to be excreted through urine.
