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.

How does an increase in the use of coal affect biodiversity and air and water quality in a region?​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

by developing more efficient methods of mining coal  

Explanation:

Coal is a combustible black or brownish black sedimentary rock. Coal is produced by the dead plant matter. It is a fossil fuel that is used for generating electricity in the thermal power plants, used as cooking fuel, and fuel in automobiles. The burning of the coal results in the liberation of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide gases in the environment. These gases are responsible for causing the air pollution.

Developing more efficient methods of mining coal is not a conservation tactic related to coal consumption because the more the efficient mining will promote the excavation of the coal, which will further contribute to its extensive consumption and air pollution.

Ike is conducting a scientific experiment involving clear adhesive tape.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

see if the strips repel each other when brought close together

Explanation:

Electric fields can exert forces on objects, even if the objects involved are not touching. One way to demonstrate that electric fields exist around charged objects is to observe the effects of their forces at a distance.

Since Ike knows that each strip of tape carries a negative charge, he could see if the strips repel each other when brought close together.
