The Transport of Water and Nutrients - Results Tables

Exploring the transport of nutrients in the body, a results table is used to document the effect of varying salt concentrations on the length of a certain sample. The table is structured to record the initial length of the sample in centimetres, the final length after exposure to salt, and the change in length, also noted in centimetres. An additional column is dedicated to the average change in length, providing a consolidated view of the sample's response to different salt concentrations, measured in teaspoons. This data is crucial for understanding the osmotic balance and nutrient transport within biological systems.

Another results table delves into the functioning of the kidneys, specifically illustrating the filtration process. The table lists the number of filters used and the corresponding time taken to filter a substance, recorded in seconds. A descriptive column provides qualitative observations of the filtrate post-filtration. This table aids in comprehending the efficiency and characteristics of the filtration process as the number of filters is varied. The filtration time and the nature of the filtrate are key indicators of how the kidneys purify blood and regulate the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.
