Darya [45]3 years ago

Answer:

It can and cannot be.

What is rickets?

Rickets is a bone-related disorder caused by the deficit of vitamin-D, phosphate or calcium.

How can you inherit rickets?

1. When a mother has traces of the rickets disease, the offspring can indeed have the same traces as the mother.

2. In the other hand, there is a type of rickets, the [hereditary] hypophosphatemic rickets (low phosphate levels and resistance to vitamin-D treatments), that does indeed have an inheritance pattern, according to the Genetics Home Reference.

2.1 There is a gene called PHEX that is found in the x-chromosome, and, when a mutation of this gene occurs, it can cause the so called hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets.

Hope it helped,

kogti [31]

Calcium is one substance that is secreted elsewhere but not in the proximal convoluted tubule.

<h3>Renal reabsorption and secretion</h3>

Renal reabsorption is defined as the movement of water and specific solutes from the renal tubule back into the plasma.

Renal secretion is defined as the process by which waste ions and hydrogen ions pass from the renal capillaries into the renal tubule to be excreted into the urine.

At the proximal convoluted tubule, calcium is reabsorbed but not secreted. Therefore, Calcium is one substance that is secreted elsewhere but not in the proximal convoluted tubule.

The electron transport chain is named for Select one: a. the removal of unnecessary electrons from the cell b. the conversion of
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. the passage of electrons from one energy-generating carrier to another

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is a series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Electrons pass from one member of the transport chain to the next in a series of redox reactions. The energy released in these reactions is captured as a proton gradient, which in turn is used to form ATP in a process called chemosmosis.

These transport molecules, in the inner mitochondrial membrane, are reduced and oxidized, accepting electrons and transferring them to the next molecule, electrons descending from high energy levels to lower ones, that is, from one energy-generating carrier to another. When lowering to other levels, energy is released that will be used in the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

b. they require more oxygen per unit of volume.

Explanation:

Large animals have a specialized organs for exhalation and inhalation of gases due to the requirement of large amount of oxygen for cellular respiration. Respiration is a process in which energy is released in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP) in the mitochondria of the cell with the addition of oxygen. The waste product such as carbondioxide is produced which is removed from the body body through lungs.
