The minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur is known as the activation energy. It is the minimum amount of energy needed to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation.

The source of the activation energy needed to push reactions forward is typically heat energy from the surroundings.  Heat energy speeds up the motion of molecules , increasing the frequency and force with which they collide. It also moves atoms and  bonds  within the molecules slightly helping them reach their transition state.

Which structure does very little albumin escape from the blood during glomerular filtration?
aksik [14]

Answer:

b. Basement membrane

Explanation:

Together, the endothelial cells of the glomerular capillaries and the podocytes that completely surround the capillaries form a permeable barrier called filtration membrane or endothelial capsular membrane. This sandwich arrangement allows filtration of water and small solutes, but prevents filtration. of most plasma proteins, blood cells and platelets. The filtered substances move from the bloodstream through three barriers: a gIomerular endothelial cell, the basal lamina and a filtration slot formed by a podocyte.

1 The endothelial cells of the gIoméruIo are quite permeable because they have large perforations (pores) of 70 to 100 nm (0.07 to 0.1 ml) in diameter. These dimensions allow all solutes of the blood plasma to leave the gIomerular capillaries, but prevents blood cells and platelets from leaking. The mesangial cells, contractile cells that help regulate gIomerular filtration are located in the middle of the gomeromer capillaries and the groove formed between the afferent and efferent arterioles.

2 The <u>basement membrane</u> is a layer of acellular material between the endothelium and podocytes, which consists of fibruses in a gIucoprotein matrix; prevents filtration of large plasma proteins.

3 From each podocito thousands of extensions in the form of feet called pedicels that surround the glomerular capillaries extend. The spaces between the pedicels are called filtration cracks. A thin membrane, the crack membrane, extends through each filtration crack and allows the passage of molecules with a diameter smaller than 6 to 7 nm (0.006 to 0.OO7 mm), including water, glucose, vitamins, amino acids , very small plasma proteins, ammonia, urea and ions. Since the most abundant plasma protein, <u>albumin</u>, has a diameter of 7.1 mm, less than 1% of it crosses the membrane of the crack.

The southern migration of which african people may have led to a significant increase in the incidence of malaria?
Anvisha [2.4K]

The answer is Bantu. They had already developed immunity to malaria due to exposure in their native environment. As they migrated southwards to conquer more land, they met the pygmies and the Khoisan. The Bantus had carried with them the malaria vectors. When the mosquitos infected the pygmies and the Khoisan populations, who had no immunity against malaria, the disease reduced their populations drastically hence enabling the Bantus to conquer their land.
