Answer:

Proximal tubule is involved in reabsorption from blood to filtrate while Distall tubule is also involed in secretion from blood to filtrate.

Explanation:

Proximal Tubule;

It reabsorbs the important nutrients such as water, sodium, potassium, calcium, glucose, aminoacid etc. from the filtrate and send them back into the bloodstream.

Distal tubule;

Although distal tubule is involved in reabsorption of nutrients such as calcium, sodium chloride but it is also in secretion of blood wastes such as drugs into the filtrate. It also help in maintaining the pH of blood by secreting the protons into filtrate and absorbing the bicarbonate ions.

The antiparallel arrangement within DNA molecules refers to Select one:

mylen [45]

Answer:

c. one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction.

Explanation:

A DNA molecule has <em>two strands of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone each, but orientated on the opposite direction </em>allowing for the base pairs to complement one another, making it a more stable structure. <em>When two biopolymers run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignment) we have an antiparallel arrangement.</em>

I annexed an image of the DNA structure.
