Biology
1 answer:
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).

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) RNA and Proteins.

Ribosome is a molecular machinery, which is located in all living cells. It is formed from proteins and complexes of rRNA ( ribosomal RNA). That is why, it is also called as ribonucleoprotein.

Ribosome serves as the site for protein synthesis. It is primarily divided into two subunits, a larger ribosomal subunit and a smaller ribososmal subunit, which together assist the process of protein formation ( translation).

Thus, the components of ribosomes are RNA and proteins.
