In the kidneys, the countercurrent mechanism involves the interaction between the flow of filtrate through the loop of Henle of

the juxtamedullary nephrons (the countercurrent multiplier) and the flow of blood through the limbs of adjacent blood vessels (the countercurrent exchanger). This relationship establishes and maintains an osmotic gradient extending from the cortex through the depths of the medulla that allows the kidneys to vary urine concentration dramatically.

Bond [772]

Answer:

1. Cells are composed of chemicals and both the structure and function of cells are regulated by the basic principles of chemistry. true

2. Scientists have successfully sequenced the entire genome of humans but have not yet sequenced the entire genome of any other species. false

3. Living systems are the most complex chemical systems on earth. true

4. Living systems are governed by the same principles of chemistry and physics that govern non-living systems. true

5. Living organisms contain unique chemical elements which are not found in non-living systems. false

6. An input of energy is required to maintain the complexity of living systems. true

7. The energy conversions that take place in living systems are governed by the same laws of thermodynamics that govern non-living systems. true

Explanation:

Cells are the basic unit of life which differentiate a living thing from a non- living thing. Although a living system, is made of the same chemical elements from which a non-living t=might be made, yet they are different from the non-living things as living things carry out the seven basic principles of live.

All living things carry genetic material from which their genome is made. Scientists have currently been able to sequence the genome of humans as well as many other organisms.
