Which molecule is secreted from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules?

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is H+.
Secretion from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules is a process called tubular secretion. This is an important process for both waste removal and acid-base balance. The secretion step is usually used to remove drugs, toxins, and poisons, or other molecules such as potassium (K+) and hydrogen (H+). The secreted molecules come from the peritubular capillaries and pass through the interstitial fluid before going through the wall of the tubule into the lumen of the tubule.

____ [38]

Answer:

Adult anteaters compete for food and many young anteaters die

Explanation:

As there are not many predators and the number of ants is abundant, the population of anteaters should grow on a large scale, however, this is not what happens, since the size of the population is the same for twenty years. This shows that the anteater population itself is regulating the size of the population through internal disputes, where anteaters, due to the high birth rate, end up competing for food and shelter, causing the most young and inexperienced individuals to be killed.

PLSSS HELP Do you think an international orbiting space station is a good idea? Why or why not?

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Yes it is (we already have one)

An international orbiting space station would be a great idea! We could use the space station as a refueling point for passing spaceships. This could helps us achieve things such as space exploration, mars/moon colony, or even contact with other unearthly organisms. This could also allow us to conduct space research.

No it isn't

An international orbiting space station is a horrible idea! The first thing to think about is the money. This would put the entire area in stasis as we try to raise money for the space station. We also need contact with the humans/robots in space! Building a space station would confuse other nations as to what we plan to do with said space station. This could cause a war of some sort.

Alcohol inhibits the release of ADH from the pituitary gland. This would produce which of the following effects?

natka813 [3]

Alcohol inhibits the pituitary secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which acts on the kidney to reabsorb water. Alcohol acts on the hypothalamus/pituitary to reduce the circulating levels of ADH. When ADH levels drop, the kidneys do not reabsorb as much water; consequently, the kidneys produce more urine.
