Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Simple diffusion can be defined as a transport method, which involves movement of non-polar, uncharged substances across the lipid bilayer without help of membrane proteins.

Simple diffusion is unsaturated, unlike facilitated diffusion. This is because membrane proteins are not required for simple diffusion, while during facilitated diffusion, membrane proteins become saturated at maximum rate of diffusion.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

Which scba limitation would a firefighter be able to overcome through physical fitness and regular medical evaluations?
Reika [66]

<u>Insufficient </u><u>lung </u><u>capacity</u> is scba limitation would a firefighter be able to overcome through physical fitness and regular medical evaluations.

<h3>What are the limitations of respirator?</h3>

Full-face respirators are bulkier than half-masks and are frequently less pleasant to use. Full-face air purifying respirators cannot be utilized for all sorts of air contaminants because the type and capacity of the filters and cartridges used limit their use.

<h3>What is the capacity of SCBA?</h3>

SCBA Cylinders are available in five sizes to accommodate all <em>Self Contained Breathing Apparatus</em> (SCBA) and Emergency Escape Breathing Devices: 2L, 3L, 6.8L, 9L, and 10L. (EEBD).  

The SCBA delivers compressed oxygen from the oxygen cylinder to the wearer via cylinder valves, pressure reducers, demand valves, and other components. The absorbing canister absorbs carbon dioxide from exhaled air, and the breathing bag resupplies oxygen.

Describe the osmotic gradient in the kidney and explain how the
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The osmotic gradient in the kidney typically in the medulla is a process that generates urine that is 5 times more concentrated so as to reduce the loss of water from the body.

The countercurrent multiplication is a process that uses energy to produce the osmotic gradient in the kidney, this process facilitates the reabsorption of water from the tubular fluid. This mechanism moves the sodium chloride from the tubular fluid to the interstitial space of the kidneys. The osmotic gradient can be developed in two ways:

1. The single effect: This involves the transport of sodium chloride from the tubular fluid and moved to the ascending limb then finally to the interstitial fluid. As a result of this, the water moves passively down to the concentration gradient out of the tubular fluid than to the descending limb of the interstitial space, until the equilibrium is achieved.  

2. Fluid flow method: The tubular fluid enters into the descending limb. This pushes the fluid into high osmolarity typically down the tube. This way the osmotic gradient develops.
