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.

Why does the human body produce gametes
Lady bird [3.3K]
The human sperm and eggs contain 23 chromosomes. The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is called meiosis. It is used to produce cells for repair and asexual reproduction. Gametes do contain different genetic information to each other and to the parent cell.

Creatine phosphate functions in the muscle cell by ________.
postnew [5]

Answer: promoting the rapid resynthesis of ATP, by the action of creatine kinase.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main form of chemical energy, its hydrolysis remaining highly exergonic. The maintenance of cellular homeostasis mechanisms, that adjust the generation processes of ATP, responds to the energy demand.

Creatine phosphate (CrP) was discovered in 1927 in the muscle tissue. Free creatine (Cr) is generated from the breakage of (CrP) during muscle contraction. Since the PCr / CK (Creatine kinase) system has a high rate of ATP generation, it is particularly important in situations of high metabolic demand, such as high-intensity physical exercise, when the ATP utilization rate exceeds its generation capacity by other metabolic pathways.

How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in terms of location and function?
Vlada [557]
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that lies in front of the windpipe trachea, just below the larynx. It uses iodine from food to make two thyroid hormones that regulate the way the body uses energy. The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located behind the thyroid gland. <span>The parathyroid glands produce a substance that helps control the amount of calcium in the blood.</span>
