The transport of substance A from peritubular capillary into the fluid of renal tubule is Tubular secretion.

What is Tubular secretion?

Tubular secretion is the phenomenon of transfer of materials from peritubular capillaries to fluid of renal tubule. It is basically a process of toxins removal from blood capillaries and tissues and their active secretion into the nephrons. The nephrons are surrounded by peritubular capillaries and the exchange between nephron and blood occurs via peritubular capillaries. The tubular secretion is most active in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). Tubular secretion is an important parameter for measuring kidney function and excretion process. It also maintains the blood pH.

Hence, the substance A that is transported from plasma of peritubular capillary  into fluid of reanl tubule is said to be secreted.

How are variations in adaptation similar? how are they different?
AVprozaik [17]

All of the following would decrease the glycemic index of a food EXCEPT:
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b. adding butter. increasing the ripeness of fruit.

Explanation:

The addition of whole kernels helps to reduce the glycemic index (GI), because the larger the carbohydrate particle, the longer it takes the body to absorb it, decreasing the blood glucose peaks.

In addition, the addition of <u>lean</u> <u>protein</u> to meals helps to lower glucose spikes by reducing digestion time.

The addition of a fat like butter would not reduce the glycemic index due to its energy load (9 kcal per gram). In addition, increasing the ripeness of the fruit will also increase the GI.

How can we protect keystone species?
Andreyy89

A keystone species refers to the organisms that define the entire ecosystem. These organisms are important because without them the ecosystem will work differently. They are known to be low in functional redundancy that means if these so-called keystone species disappear, there are no other species who can fill in their role. We can protect them by preserving and protecting their natural habitat, avoiding hunting activities especially the organisms that are considered to be critically endangered, planting trees, and proper waste disposal. These are some of the activities that we can do to protect them.
