Answer: D (It involves carrier-mediated transport).

Explanation:

Tubular reabsorption transports nutrients back into the blood. Tubular reabsorption of nutrients such as sodium, glucose, lactate amino acids, and other organic substances occurs via carrier membrane proteins to the proximal tubule.

Most of the substances that are reabsorbed via the proximal tubule require the use of carrier membrane proteins, for facilitated diffusion, active transport and secondary active transport.

Example of secondary active transport is the sodium-dependent glucose cotranspoter.

Schizogony is an important aspect of which of the following diseases?A. Chagas diseaseB. schistosomiasisC. toxoplasmosisD. plagu

Gwar [14]

Answer:

E. Malaria

Explanation:

Schizogony refers to the process of asexual reproduction through the process of multiple fission. The malaria parasite, Plasmodium species, enters the human body through the bite of female anopheles mosquitoes.

These mosquitoes carry haploid sporozoites in their saliva which are released into the bloodstream of human. The haploid sporozoites enter the liver cells where they multiply and increase their number through the process of multiple fission.

The process of schizogony in sporozoites of malaria parasite produces merozoites which are then released from the liver cells.

Scientists think that dolphins and whales may have evolved from a common ancestor. What evidence supports this hypothesis

ikadub [295]

These animals may share common characters and structures.

Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are evolved from a common ancestor; cetacean.

The animals that evolved from cetaceans are all aquatic, primitive cetaceans were amphibians too.

Thus, They have similar anatomies.
