Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the lumen in the pct is largely by means of: secondary active cotransport.

Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney associated with removing waste products from the blood. It achieves the function by performing filtration which results in formation of urine. A nephron is divided into two parts namely renal corpuscle and renal tubule. Renal corpuscle is associated with filtration and renal tubule mainly performs reabsorption.

Renal tubules are further divided into Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT), loop of Henle, Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) and collecting duct. PCT and DCT are mainly linked with reabsorption and secretion respectively. Reabsorption in PCT occurs via cotransport. Here, glucose is reabsorbed along with sodium ions via SGLT2 cotransporter. Specifically, the reabsorption method is termed as sodium-coupled secondary active transport.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

D. Mass extinction events separate the three eras from each other

Explanation:

The Phanerozoic is an eon, thus it is representative of the largest unit of geological time. It is further divided into three eras. The three eras of the Phanerozoic are the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. These three eras have been divided on the basis of mass extinction events. The Paleozoic ends with the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period, which is also the largest mass extinction ever, and it also marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The Mesozoic ends with the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period, occurring because of a large meteorite or comet impact, marking the beginning of the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic era is still going, and even though there have been extinction throughout it, none of them has been of a scale big enough to be considered as a mass extinction, so until something like that happens, this era will continue to exist.

Which examples describe how a plant might meet the challenge of getting and using energy? Choose all answers that are correct. A
SpyIntel [72]
<span>Assume: Energy = Sunlight.

grow lamps, etc.

A is definitely correct: Plants and trees that need maximum light MUST be able to grow as tall or taller than the other plants/trees around them. Plants that are more efficient at producing food (through photosynthesis) can live in the shadows of other plants. B doesnt involve getting or using energy. C is the function of food storage. The Energy was used to make the carbohydrates up in the leaves. D This should read New Leaves on the tree... If the tree was not deciduous, the leaves would stay on the tree and continue to perform photosynthesis throughout the year - as long as there was ample light. A is definitely correct and D is probably a correct answer also. FYI - Photosynthesis takes water from the plant, CO2 from the air and Energy from the Sunlight. Chloroplasts (the Green in the green leaves and stems) combine the molecules and light energy to produce 3 byproducts: O2, H2O, and Carbohydrates (mainly sugar or C12H22O11). The carbohydrates are then transported by the plants capillary system (by means of the Phloem which flows down to the roots) to the roots where it is converted as needed to be stored as some form of sugar or starch for use later in plant growth (leaves, stems and roots).</span>
