1.) The document provides 10 examples of unit conversions between metric and other systems of units. It converts between meters/seconds and km/h, meters and nanometers, nanometers and femtometers, amps and milliamps, hours and seconds, kilograms/meters cubed and micrograms/cubic centimeter.
2.) The conversions use dimensional analysis and involve multiplying or dividing by powers of 10 to account for the different metric prefixes like milli, micro, and nano.
3.) Examples include converting 10 m/s to km/h, 0.000000007 m to nanometers, 1.5x10-5 A to milliamps, and 19,300 kg/m

This document discusses the structure and function of the kidney. It describes the basic unit of the kidney, the nephron, and its role in filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Specifically, it explains how glomerular filtration occurs to remove waste from the bloodstream and how certain transport proteins and hormones like antidiuretic hormone and aldosterone regulate water and electrolyte balance. Kidneys are essential excretory organs that exist in most animal species to maintain homeostasis.
