The macula densa cells monitor the NaCl content of the filtrate entering the distal convoluted tubule.

Define juxtaglomerular apparatus.

The juxtaglomerular apparatus, often referred to as the juxtaglomerular complex, is a kidney structure that controls how each nephron, or functional unit of the kidney, performs.

What are macula densa cells ?

According to the traditional paradigm, the distal nephron's macula densa cells serve as salt sensors and send chemical signals to the juxtaglomerular apparatus to regulate key kidney activities like renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and renin release.

as compared with the production of egg cells, sperm cell production A) involves a jellylike outer covering b) occurs at a slower
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is:  d) begins later in life

Eggs or female reproductive cells are formed well before birth in a huge number (primordial oocytes). But, the number of oocyte decreases after birth constantly (there are 2 million oocytes at birth and 40,000 of them in puberty). At menopause, no egg cells are left.

On the other hand, the first sperms are formed only from puberty, but the production of those cells never stops.

Which statement best describes the cell membrane?
vredina [299]

Answer:C). A phospholipid bilayer with proteins

Explanation: A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids are non polar and hydrophobic while the phosphate groups are polar and hydrophilic. The hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids interact with each by facing each other, forming a bilayer with a fluid interior. The polar head groups face outward interacting with the external environment of the cell. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer and they float in this sea of phospholipids. Proteins anchored to the membrane through interactions between the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids and the amino acid side chains of the proteins. These lipids and proteins swim laterally in each face of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.
