Why is reabsorption important

Biology
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
5 0
<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>

Why would an unprotected traveler's blood boil in the mesosphere?
eduard
An unprotected traveler's blood would boil at normal body temperatures because the pressure is so low. Temperatures in the mesophere decreases with altitude, because there are few gas molecules in the mesophere to absorb the sun's radiation, the heat source is the stratosphere below. The air in the mesophere has extremely low density and as a result the air pressure is very low.

Glycolysis occurs in cytosol, with the help of various enzymes, like hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and PEP etc. When glycolysis produces pyruvic acid faster than it can be used by the mitochondria, the pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.
