What is the difference between a countercurrent multiplier system, such as the one involving the loop of Henle, and the counterc

urrent systems that maximize oxygen absorption by fish gills or reduce heat loss in endotherms?
A. A countercurrent multiplier system, such as the one involving the loop of Henle, involves movement of ions rather than movement of oxygen or heat transfer.
B. Unlike the other countercurrent systems, a countercurrent multiplier system, such as the one involving the loop of Henle, expends energy in active transport.
C. A countercurrent multiplier system, such as the one involving the loop of Henle, includes a capillary bed.

Answer:

The CORRECT ANSWER IS B.

B. Unlike the other countercurrent systems, a countercurrent multiplier system expends energy in active transport.

Explanation:

The countercurrent multiplier system involving the loop of Henle uses up energy in the form of ATP to actively conduct NaCl out of the filtrate in the upper region of the ascending limb of the loop. This energy in the form of ATP that is being used uniquely differentiates a countercurrent multiplier system from the different forms of countercurrent systems.

After the ovules are fertilized what happens to the ovary
3241004551 [841]

Answer:ovary develops into fruits

Explanation: fertilization occur after the fusion of a haploid male and female gametes to give a diploid zygote. The male sperm fuses with the female egg in the ovule to give an embryo. For angiosperms the male sex cell is located in the pollen in the anther which is carried to the stigma where the female sex cell is located either of the same plant or different plant. For gymnosperms the male pollen is found in the cone from where it is then transfer to the female cone. The ovule developed into the seeds after fertilization and the ovary develops into fruits.

Why does water form large round drops as it falls from a faucet with a slow leak
jarptica [38.1K]
Water molecules are polar. This means that one end of the molecule is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged. Opposite charges attract. Water molecules on the faucet that are eventually pulled away from the others by gravity will themselves pull together and form round drops because the charged portions of molecule attract the oppositely charged portions of another.
