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.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1990.

Explanation:

From the graph and year - population size table it is clearly understood that the population of grizzly bear is reduced by 39 number from year 1988 to 1989.

But after 1989 from 1990 onwards population of grizzly bear is consistently rising.

Now, let us analyse the data given in question number 2 .

No. of grizzly bear deaths in Alberta from 1976 to 1988 = 581

No. of grizzly bear deaths in Alberta from 1988 to 2000 = 281

From the above data we can clearly say now that the grizzly bear population deaths starts increasing from 1990.

So, the prediction made in question no. 1 that " the government of Alberta introduced the hunting lottery award in 1990 because in 1989 it decreases and then it starts to go up again in 1990",
