As filtrate moves through the Ascending segment of the loop of Henle in mammals, it generally undergoes a dramatic decrease in osmolarity.

The ascending limb of the loop of henle is direct continuation from descending limb of henle, one of the structure in the nephron of the kidney.This segment of ascending limb has thin and thick segment.

The descending loop leads to sharp bend, in which ascending loop continues.This loop has thin and thick portion. Thick ascending limb is called distal straight tube. Thin-segment is permeable to ions and impermeable water.25% of sodium and potassium is absorb by the wall of ascending limb of the loop of henle.

a researcher proposes a model of an enzyme catalyzed reaction in which reactant is converted to a product. The model is based on

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The enzyme's active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, which decreases the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation:

Enzymes are complex multi-folded forms of proteins - they promote chemical reactions in biological processes.

Typically, molecules collide at random, and complex chemical reactions require the right molecular orientation and energy to react (breaking and forming bonds).

Enzymes lower energy needs by providing an alternative reaction pathway and stabilize and maintain the molecules in their intermediate forms called transition states.
