Answer:

Net filtration would decrease.

Explanation:

Net filtration pressure may be defined as the pressure present at the glomerulus. The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure existing at the kidney.

The net filtration pressure is affected by the osmotic pressure as well. The osmotic pressure always opposed the filtration. This might result in the increase in osmotic pressure. This will ultimately decrease the net filtration pressure as both oppose each other.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Two protein kinases, PK1 and PK2, work sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway.You create cells that contain inactiva
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. PK2 activates PK1

b. no response would be produced

Explanation:

Kinases are enzymes known to phosphorylate different substrates, thereby activating/inactivating them. In this case, a mutation that produces a constitutively (permanently) active PK1 kinase is itself able to continue the signaling pathway, independently of whether or not PK2 is present. This constitutive mutation shows that PK1 is recruited to continue signaling events within the cell and, therefore, PK1 activation is downstream in the signaling pathway. Conversely, cells containing active PK2 and inactive PK1 would be unable to continue the signaling pathway since PK2 activation is upstream of the induction of PK1, and thereby these cells cannot respond to the signal (PK2 activation).

Photosynthesis uses energy from the Sun to make sugars such as glucose. What has to happen to the glucose before it can be used
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Respiration occurs when glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to produce useable cellular energy. This energy is used to fuel growth and all of the normal cellular functions.

Which of the following best describes a difference between the nonspecific and specific immune responses?
mestny [16]

The correct answer is C. 

(The nonspecific response provides an immediate response, while the specific response involves a delay between exposure and response.)

 - The non-specific immune response is the first line of protection from different types of pathogens and microbes such as skin (physical barrier). It is immediate response however, it is not specifics and it does not involve the recognition of pathogens.

- The specific immune response depends on pathogen recognition and therefore is long-lasting immunity and it takes time to be effective. This response includes B- cells, T-cells, phagocytic cells and NK cells.
