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.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Changes occurs in the environmental conditions directly affect carrying capacity of the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of the ecosystem refers to the capacity of the environment which adjust plants and animals in a specific atmospheric condition. Suppose in harsh winter, the temperature of the ecosystem is very low which is unbearable for most of the plant and animal species, so very low number of plants and animals are able to live in that environment. In the ecosystem where the winter is harsh and the spring is cold, the population of living organism are more decreasing. If the ecosystem has Harsh winter, Cold spring, and Hot summer, this type of environment hold very low number of living species due to high variation in the environment.
