Why is the concentration of urea in urine much higher than its concentration in the glomerular filtrate

Biology
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

While passing through renal tubules, water and a lot of other substances are reabsorbed making filtrate concentrated. This also gradually results in an increase in the concentration of urea as it is not reabsorbed like water or glucose. Some substances like K+, H+ are also secreted (not urine).

What is an ecosystem
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

A place where plants and animals interact with each other and the physical environment.

If too many plant eaters were alive there wouldn't be any more plants so other animals eat the plant eaters, but if there is too many animals to eat the animals that eat the plants there would be too many plants so there is another animal to balance it out.

Hope this helps.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.

In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.
