Biology

Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago

The microvilli (just like the microvilli in the intestines) in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron, functions to increase the surface area of the tubule leading to a more efficient reabsorption process (as the PCT functionally functions to reabsorb solutes such as sodium, potassium, and glucose).

A student analyzed a viral genome and found that the genome had the following nucleotide composition.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Option A) Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

Note that the presence of thymine, a pyrimidine nitrogenous base in the genome indicates the presence of DNA.

Then, the summation of 28% adenine + 20% thymine + 35% cytosine + 17% guanine to yield 100% confirms that the DNA is double-stranded.

Thus, the structure of the viral genome is Double-stranded DNA.

Which cells in the small intestinal mucosa secrete mucus?
dimulka [17.4K]
The cells in the small intestinal mucosa that secrete mucus are the Goblet cells. These cells are also found in other parts of the body such as the bronchi, trachea, larger bronchioles, large intestines and the conjuctiva in the upper eyelid where they are responsible for secreting mucin in tears. In the small intestine mucosa they secrete mucus that  ease the movement of feces and also protects the intestine from the corrosion by acids and gases produced by enteric bacteria.
