Answer:

Nephron is the functional unit of kidney. The kidney contains around 4 to 5 million of nephrons in their structure. These nephrons helps in the blood filtration.

The loop of Henley passes down the filtrate for the production of urine. The excess salt is removed from the loop and deposited in the medullary part of the kidney. This is important as the nephron can now become hyperosmotic  medullary concentration and helps in the urine production.

ATP hydrolysis _______.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is to ADP and Pi is the most common mechanism for transferring free energy to drive endergonic reactions.

Explanation:

Many endergonic reactions(the free energy change of these reactions are highly positive) proceed in a thermodynamically unfavorable manner.

     To make those reactions thermodynamically favorable,these reactions are coupled with hydrolysis of high energy compound such as hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi.

    As a result the free energy change of those reactions becomes negative which allow those reactions to proceed in a thermodynamically favorable manner.

1) A plant gets 628.3 kcal of energy from the sun, what energy is left at the quartenary consumer level?
Jobisdone [24]

1. The energy left in the Quaternary consumer level is 0.06283 kcal.

2. 0.65 units of energy  is still available at the tertiary consumer level.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Energy flow in an ecosystem obeys the ten percentage law According to which ten percentage of energy from a trophic level gets transferred to the next trophic level. In the given question plants belong to the trophic level , producers  and it transfers 10 percentage of its energy to the primary consumer level.

In the question 1 the energy that the producers have is 628.3 kcal. Ten percentage of this i.e 62.83 kcal gets transferred to the primary consumer level. Ten percent of that which is 6.283 kcal gets transferred to the secondary consumer level.  Ten percent of 6.283 kcal i.e  0.6283 kcal energy is transferred to the tertiary consumer level.

Thus the Quaternary consumer level gets ten percentage of 0.6283 kcal i.e 0.06283 kcal. In question B the initial energy at the primary level is 650 units. Ten percentage of 650 i.e 65 units reach the primary consumer  level. Ten percentage of this 65 units then reaches the secondary consumer level. Thus the secondary consumer level has ten percent of 65 i.e 6.5 units of energy.  

So the energy that reaches the tertiary consumer level is ten percentage of 6.5 i.e 0.65 units.
