I picked the hawk, because it is at the top of the pyramid and the farther up in the food pyramid the less energy from the sun it gets
Answer:
Because of the great deal of active transport that occurs here, the <u>proximal convulated tubules</u> of all the nephrons collectively account for about 6% of one's daily resting ATP and caloric consumption.
Explanation:
Proximal convulated tubule is responsible for transport of a very large number of substances mentioned below :
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Sodium Chloride
- Glucose
- Amino acid
- Organic solutes
- K ions are absorbed via paracellular pathway.
- Water is absorbed passively.
Transporters include :
- Na/K transporter
- Na/HCO3 transporter
- Na/glucose
- Na/Amina acids
As a large number or transporters are present in the PCT , large amouny of ATP is cleaved here, and about 6% of daily resting ATP and caloric consumption occurs.
Answer: This is an opinion question so I will give you the facts so you can form your own opinion for this answer.
Explanation:
<u>PRO GMO:</u>
Manufacturers use genetic modification to give foods desirable traits. For example, they have designed two new varieties of apple that turn less brown when cut or bruised.
The reasoning usually involves making crops more resistant to diseases as they grow. Manufacturers also engineer produce to be more nutritious or tolerant of herbicides.
Crop protection is the main rationale behind this type of genetic modification. Plants that are more resistant to diseases spread by insects or viruses result in higher yields for farmers and a more attractive product.
Genetically modification can also increase nutritional value or enhance flavor.
All of these factors contribute to lower costs for the consumer. They can also ensure that more people have access to quality food.
<u>CONS of GMO</u>
Because genetically engineering foods is a relatively new practice, little is known about the long-term effects and safety.
There are many purported downsides, but the evidence varies, and the main health issues associated with GMO foods are hotly debated. Research is ongoing.
Some of the cons include: Allergies, Cancer, antibacterial resistance, and outcrossing which refers to the risk of genes from certain GMO plants mixing with those of conventional crops.
A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.
Afferent nerve fibers carry signals from the somatic receptors to the posterior horn of the spinal cord or to the brainstem.
