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

Biology
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
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.

I’m assuming you mean if the sun dies out. If so, then most things on earth would die within a few days due to lack of photosynthesis and to freezing temperatures (which is what would cause humans to die).

Compare and contrast light microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and transmission electron microscopes. Sort each statemen
podryga [215]

Answer:

<u>Light microscope</u>:

  • use a beam of light to produce magnified images
  • can be used to examine living cells and tissues

<u>Scanning electron microscope</u>:

  • use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
  • can be used to examine DNA
  • can be used to examine cells

<u>Transmission electron microscope</u>:

  • use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
  • can be used to examine DNA
  • can be used to examine cells

Explanation:

Light microscope: is a commonly used microscope also known as compound microscope. Magnifies images from 40X upto 1000X. It uses ray of visible light to produce a magnified image. The light microscope can be used to view specimen of both living and dead cells or tissues. However, it doesn't give a detailed view of a specimen like electron microscope.

Scanning electron microscope: It uses electron beam as an illuminating source. It has a much higher resolving power than light microscope because it uses electrons instead of light. It magnifies object upto 500000 times the actual size. Internal structures can also be viewed. However, only dead specimen can be used because the beam of electrons can kill the cells. They are of two types:

  1. <u>Scanning electron microscope(SEM): </u>an electron beam passes over the specimen's surface and displaces electrons which are then focused on  a screen to form an image. Images appear in 3-D
  2. <u>Transmission electron microscope: </u>electromagnets magnify the image by passing beam of electrons through a thin specimen. Images appear in 2-D

Answer:

1. The benefits include safer and more efficient nuclear power plants. The kind of energy that is produced is clean with no greenhouse gases and the cost of operating a nuclear power plant is inexpensive. 2.In terms of the disadvantages of uranium, it can have deleterious health effects and can lead to death because of its radioactivity. Radioactive waste is also an additional issue, if it is not disposed of at a safe place and not stored properly, it can leak radiation. Such emissions can last for centuries.

3. It produces no greenhouse gases or other waste and Tides are easily predictable. 4. High tidal power plant construction costs, Negative influence on marine
