Answer:
The correct option is A
Countercurrent multiplication is the process whereby energy is used to generate an osmotic gradient in which water is reabsorbed from the tubular fluid to produced concentrated urine.
Explanation:
Countercurrent multiplication moves sodium chloride from tubular fluid into interstitial space deep within the kidneys. The concurrent multiplication process build up osmotic gradient interstitial fluid in a single effect. Here, sodium chloride is driven by active transport out of the tubular fluid in the thick ascending limb into the interstitial fluid, which becomes hyperosmotic. This result to water moving passively down its concentration gradient out of the tubular fluid in the descending limb into the interstitial space to a point where it attains a state of equilibrium.
Therefore,the correct option is A, where the ions leaves the ascending limb to make water comes out of descending limb.
After 12 hours without eating, Seth is very hungry. It is likely that Seth's blood glucose level is LOW and his blood insulin level is HIGH.
A situation in which the blood glucose level is low is called hypoglycemia. In this situation, the level of glucose in the blood is much more lower than the normal level. This may be caused by a lot of factors. When the blood glucose level is low, the glucagon hormone mobilize the liver to release glycogen which is converted to glucose. The presence of glucose in the blood increase the level of insulin secretion which in turn increased the feeling of hunger in the individual.
Answer:
D. It absorbs photons from the sun and gives energy to electrons.
<span>This is continuous aerobic activity. While regular aerobic activity can incorporate rest periods, this style of activity does not. Activities such as walking, slow jogging, stair climbing, and swimming can all fit this definition, because they can be done without rest for long periods.</span>
Answer:
D variations in individuals are not heritable
Explanation:
Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.
Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.
Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
