Answer:
WATER REABSORPTION IN THE COLLECTING TUBULE OF TE KIDNEY
Explanation:
Antidiuretic hormone synthesized by the neurons in the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary allows for the reabsorption of water from the collecting ducts of the kidneys back into the circulation.
This therefore reduces the amount of water in the urine causing the formation of concentrated urine and reduced volume of urine.
It causes the increased reabsorption of sodium in the ascending loop of Henle adding to the counter-current mechanism which aids the further reabsorption of water from the distal tubules and collecting ducts.
It also allows the constriction of arteries thereby reducing arterial blood pressure.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C) P and Q have similar binding properties
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <u><em>Enzymes are biological catalysts that speeds up chemical reactions. Substrates are substances that are acted on by an enzyme to form a product.</em></u>
- <u><em>An enzyme catalyzed reaction occurs when the substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme to form and enzyme-substrate complex. </em></u>
- <em><u>Substrate P and Q are structurally similar which means they are in a position of binding and fitting in the active site of an enzyme. The strong structural similarity means that the binding properties of these two different substrates may be similar. </u></em>
- <em><u>Formation of similar products or results when acted upon by an enzyme mean they are similar in terms of their binding properties, and thus the production of similar product.</u></em>
Based on the given conversation above between Ben and his parents, the testable question for the hurricane research of Ben is option C: "Is the number of hurricanes increasing each year?" This is the testable question since they are arguing about the number of hurricanes in the past summers. Hope this helps.
Answer:
These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.
