Answer:
The intercalated cells in the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron can cause and increase or decrease in body pH.
Explanation:
The renal collecting duct is the nephron segment where the final urine content of acid equivalents and inorganic ions are determined.
Two types of cells regulate the acid-base and volume homeostasis.
Intercalated cells, which express acid-base transporters and vacuolar H+-ATPase, maintain an apropriate acid-base balance and principal cells that express the epithelial sodium channel ENaC and aquaporin 2, regulate electrolyte reabsorption.
Filtered bicarbonate is predominantly reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule about 80% and the remaining bicarbonate is reabsorbed from the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, the distal nephron, specifically the distal convoluted tubule & the connecting tubule, and finally the cortical and both the outer and inner medullary collecting duct.
Intercalated cells are enriched in mitochondria, and express proteins involved in transport of proton equivalents such as vacuolar H+-ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II and bicarbonate transporters. There are two types of intercalated cells Type-A and Type-B.
"Water quality" may include the amounts of dissolved oxygen
and the levels of algal growth, pollutants which may be present and the pH level. Water quality effects also which types of organisms can
survive in a body of water.
Shellfish require a high level
of dissolved oxygen and their abundance is an indication of good water quality. Shellfish are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem and they cannot easily escape changes in the water quality. These are one of the reasons why shellfish are good indicators of water quality.
The correct answers are A and B
Producers <span>have the ability to make their own food using an energy source, like the sun. An example of this would be a plant.
</span>Consumers<span> are broken into two groups: primary and secondary.
</span>Primary consumers<span> are the herbivores that eat the producers.
</span>Secondary consumers<span> are the carnivores that eat the primary consumers.
Deer are herbivores and wolves are carnivores; they are both consumers.
</span>So the main difference between producers and consumer are that producers make their own food and consumers can't. They eat producers and other consumers.
The mantle is very hot. Thickness is 2885km.
