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

Biology

Setler [38]3 years ago

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:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

if a group of _____ species lived together in a small area, the carrying capacity of that area would probably collapse quickly??
alukav5142 [94]
The answer is K-selected.

The population size of K-selected species is fairly constant in time, unlike the population size of r-selected species. r-selected species are usually bellow carrying capacity and the population size is density independent. On the contrary, K-selected species are usually near or at carrying capacity and the population size is density dependent.
