Distal Convoluted Tubule and Collecting Duct are parts of the nephron does ADH act on to regulate water reabsorption. ADH acts throughs G-protein coupled receptor in order to increase transcription and the insertion of Aquaporin–2 channels for the apical membrane of the CD and DCT cells. Therefore, the permeability of CD and DCT cells to the water increases.

A Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) is a short nephron segment, a portion of kidney nephron between Henle or macula densa and the collecting tubule loop. It plays an important role in regulating extracellular fluid volume and electrolyte homeostasis. In DCT, Sodium absorption occurs, which is mediated by the hormone aldosterone.

1. Atmosphere and ecosystem

2. Carbon/CO2 is absorbed by the plants and then released as oxygen.

3. Carbon is used in the cellular respiration process to make ATP.

4. Decomposers break down dead material and release CO2 in that process into the atmosphere for plants to use that carbon for photosynthesis again.

When lions prey on a herd of antelope, some antelope are killed and some escape. Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selec

Rufina [12.5K]

According to Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, each generation produces more individuals than the ecosystem can sustain. However, not all individuals are identical and phenotypical variation exists.

Due to this variation, some antelopes are better at escaping lions, perhaps due to speed and/or stamina. Thus, the individuals that are slower and thus less fit will be killed and eliminated from the herd. The antelopes with heritable traits that makes them better suited to the environment, will escape and thus, survive and reproduce.

In Darwin's Theory predation is an evolutionary force.
