What are the 3 substances which are reabsorbed from the nephron in the blood?

1 answer:

5 0

The main substance re-absorbed into the blood in the nephron are glucose, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and water.

Almost all the glucose is reabsorbed at the proximal tubule of the nephron. Sodium, potassium and chloride are reabsorbed at the ascending loop of Henle, and water is reabsorbed at the descending loop of Henle.

Other nutrients that are reabsorbed are magnesium, phosphates, carboxylate, bicarbonate, amino acids, some urea, proteins and oligopeptides.

Reabsorption occurs in two steps namely active or passive extraction of sustances from the fluid in the tubules of the nephron, and into the interstitium , then transport of these substances from interstitium and into the bloodstream.

Answer

<u>A) Segregation</u>

Explanation:

In Mendel's law of Segregation, each allele is inherited separately from each other within gametes- each gamete can only carry one gene.

Transposons refute this; here, variegation (regions of multiple colors) may occur due to "jumping genes" leading to multiple phenotypic variants like a multicolored seed,instead of a seed retaining one solid color. Mendelian ratios, thus, are not observed.

This is seen in instances such as Indian corn- these seeds may be purple, red, green and yellow. Variegation of seed color can occur to produce multicolored grains of purple and white.

Flower growth along the stems of pea plants (axial) is dominant over growth from the tips of the stem (terminal). The letters Aa

True [87]

B since axial is dominant the plant would show axial growth and the combonation of genes (Aa) is heterozygous not homozygous so it would show axial growth but with heterozygous genes
