What is the driving force for the filtration of blood by the renal corpuscle?

Biology
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule.

Explanation:

The renal corpuscle is composed of the capillary glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule that covers it, there is a space inside the capsule, Bowman's space, where the filtered liquid from the glomerulus passes. The glomerular pressure must be higher than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule, so in that way it forces the filtration and tends to expel fluid from the glomeruli, allowing the passage of water, small molecules of solute and ions.

The principle of competitive exclusion states that A. two species cannot coexist in the same habitat. B. competition between two
larisa86 [58]

The principle of competitive exclusion states that two species cannot coexist in the same habitat.

<h3>What is competitive exclusion?</h3>

The competitive exclusion principle, often known as Gause's law, is a theory in ecology that holds that two species competing for the same scarce resource cannot coexist at constant population levels. One species will eventually outnumber all others if it has even a modest edge over the others. This results in the weaker competitor's extinction or an evolutionary or behavioral shift in favor of a different ecological niche. The adage "complete competitors cannot coexist" is a paraphrasing of this idea.

Although he never created it, Georgy Gause is traditionally credited with coming up with the competitive exclusion principle. The natural selection theory put forward by Charles Darwin already incorporates the concept.

The status of the principle has fluctuated during the course of its history between

During the cross-bridge cycle in muscle cells, myosin motors hydrolyze ATP as fuel to create a pulling force on actin fibers. Pl
exis [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When the muscle fiber membrane depolarizes, the action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane and releases calcium into the sarcolemma. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin heads bind to the uncovered actin-binding sites forming cross-bridges, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin.  Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
