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.

How could activating a transcription factor cause long-term cellular changes?
valentinak56 [21]

The role of the effector(s) that result in a short-term cellular change in a changing the activation state of an enzyme going from inact to act this happens for instance when activating an enzyme to increase sugar metabolism while Long-term cellular changes are generally the result of changes in DNA transcription, i.e. a protein can be made to begin cellular replication by activating the cell cycle.

During the electron transport chain which process leads to the production of large amounts of ATP
MAVERICK [17]

Answer;

High-energy electrons pump hydrogen ions against the concentration gradient.

Explanation;

-The electron transport chain sets up a proton concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, with more protons outside the membrane.

-As a result of this gradient, the protons are waiting to get across the membrane. This happens through the transmembrane protein ATP synthase, which uses the energy moving protons through its pore to add a phosphate to ADP, thus producing ATP.

What is an energy source in the ocean
Nataly [62]
There are multiple energy source in the ocean. The one thats probably the most common one are Dams. Although Dams can cause some serious flooding. Another one is Tidal energy. Tidal energy is something that turns the energy of tides into energy through Kinetic motion.<span />
