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.

Answer:

         A plant based diet is clearly more nutritious. In fact, all protein orginates in plants. This is because it does not contain cholestrol, has very little amounts of fat, and is the only source of fiber. The science also bears this out. A plant based diet requires less recourses because it does not require the feeing of animals. The grain, fruit, vegtables, etc. goes directly to huaman, rather than being given to a imprisoned animals first. People should not only eat less meat, the should eat no meat. This is due to the three pillars of veganism. Ethics, envirnonment, and health. It is unethical to keep a animal in a cage it's short life and murder it. It is not envronmentally safe to raise trillions of animals a year all of whom produce methane, which is 16x more potent than CO2. And for health. It is increadable unhealthy to eat animal products. T. Colin Campbell has found a connection between cancer and dairy. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has found a undeinable link to heart disease. There are may more connections like this, which are very clear in their message: Humans can not handle the saturated fat, HEME iron, cholestrol, sugars, inflammatory substances, and everything else that comes with eating animals. Humans basic biology says we should not eat meat. We cannot murder animals with the tools that nature gave us.

Consider a gene with three alleles controlling coloration of a flowering plant. There are 3 possible phenotypes, corresponding t
Andrews [41]

Answer:

C. A1A2, A1A3

Explanation:

This question depicts a gene coding for coloration in a flowering plant. The gene is controlled by multiple alleles, three specifically. The alleles are labelled A1, A2, and A3, with each coding for it's own respective trait.

According to the question, A1 is dominant over A2 and A3 i.e. A1 will always mask the phenotypic expression of A2 and A3 and express itself. Also, A2 is dominant over A3 i.e. A2 will always mask the phenotypic expression of A3. This overall means that the trait encoded by allele A3 will only be expressed when the same alleles are present.

To the question; since A1 is dominant over the other two alleles (A2 and A3), it will be phenotypically expressed ahead of them in a heterozygous state with both alleles. That is, A1A2 genotype will give rise to a phenotype encoded by A1. Also, A1A3 will produce a phenotype encoded by A1. Hence, genotypes A1A2 and A1A3 will express the same phenotypes.

A2A2 and A3A3 will express different phenotypes since they are both in a same alleles condition. Likewise for A1A1 and A3A3. A2A3 and A1A3 genotypes will express different phenotypes encoded by A2 and A1 respectively since they are both dominant over A3.
