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.

55 Which of the following is an advantage of
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer</u>:

"It increases the mutation rate"  is an advantage of  sexual reproduction

<u>Explanation</u>:

The basic thing of evolution is fundamental, as it helps in generation of genetic variation on which the selection can act. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity, and this genetic diversity leads to increase the mutation rate. Genetic diversity occurs because of two various cells which are combining together and biological assortment which happens at the time of cell division. Neutral genetic diversity in the population leads to high mutation rate.

Write down chronological order stages of regeneration of a nerve fiber.
Korvikt [17]
The answer is Regeneration of Neural Tissues

Axon regeneration has three phases: sprouting, elongation, and maturation (McQuarrie, 1983). As Schwann cells dedifferentiate and proliferate, the proximal stumps of the axons sprout by the actin-driven formation of growth cones (Sinicropi and McIlwain, 1987).

Use the graph to describe the effect on temperature as depth increases.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

d. As depth increases, temperature decreases quickly at first, but eventually becomes constant.

Explanation:

As seen on the graph above, the<em> temperature decreased quickly as the depth increased</em>. It is seen between <u>200 meters to 500 meters</u> in depth. The change in temperature is from <em>26 degrees</em> to <em>8 degrees</em>, which is<em> </em>an<em> 18-degree difference. </em>After which, the temperature decrease<em> slows down </em>and becomes <u>constant</u> starting at <em>2,700 meters</em> going deeper to <em>4,000 meters. </em>The temperature is being maintained at <em>1 degree</em>.

The other three choices above<em> (a, b, and c) s</em>how <u>both an increase in temperature with an increase in depth</u>. <em>This makes the choices incorrect.</em>

This stadium can hold 100,000, or 1x10, people. The
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1 x 10^13 stadiums will be needed in this scenario

Explanation:

We are told that

1 stadium holds = 1 × 10^5 people and

Number of iron atoms = 1 × 10^18 atoms

If the stadium carries an equivalent number of atoms as that of people.

We can infer that 1 stadium will carry 1 × 10^5 atoms.

The calculation to determine the number of stadiums would then be 1 × 10^18 divided by 10^5 atoms/stadium which was gotten by dividing the total number of atoms by the number of atoms per stadium.

Number of stadiums = Total number of atoms ÷ Number of atoms per stadium

= 1 × 10^18 atoms ÷ 1 × 10^5 atoms/stadium

= 1 × 10^13 Stadiums

This means that 1 × 10^18 atoms would occupy 1 × 10^13 stadiums
