Answer:
Bicarbonate ion, HCO3- (which has a similar charge to chloride ions) also follow sodium ions into the blood. Also, potassium ions, K+ are transported into the nephron so some chloride ions and bicarbonate ions remains in the nephron to balance the charge.
Explanation:
Sodium is the primary positively charged electrolyte in extracellular fluid. Most of the solute reabsorbed in the proximal tubule is in the form of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride. Water is also reabsorbed in order to balance osmotic pressure
When sodium ions are reabsorbed into the blood, few of the substances that are transported with Na+ on the membrane facing the lumen of the tubules include Cl- ions, Ca2+ ions, amino acids, and glucose. Sodium is actively exchanged for K+ using ATP on the basal membrane.
In the distal convoluted tubule, K+ and H+ ions are selectively secreted into the filtrate, while Na+, Cl-, and HCO3- ions are reabsorbed to maintain pH and electrolyte balance in the blood.
Some chloride ions remains in the nephron to balance the charge of the secreted K+ ions and also due to the bicarbonate ions that are removed.
The answer to your question is B.
Answer:
D-all of the above
Explanation:
The answer is D because....
- Step one, It is not A Because although the statement is true it is not the best answer to fit the question. The soil does provide nutrients but it also does more, it provides temperature control, anchorage for the plant, and the soil contains oxygen in it to help the plant grow.
- Step two, lets look at B it provides them with water. Although this is true like A, it does more than provide them with water. It provides them a medium for growth.
- Step three, So this answer is not correct because based on the option choices for option D all of the above is correct. It provides them a medium for growth to the plants likings.
- Step four. This is correct because all of the above are true and best explain why soil is important to plants.
