 The nephron forms the basic functional unit of the kidney and comprises of various parts as shown in the picture.

Urine is formed by the process of ultrafiltration, and collected in the proximal tubule, from where it passes to the loop of Henle, the distal tubule and the collecting ducts, undergoing the processes of reabsorption and secretion to form the urine that is ultimately passed out. The concentration of urine so formed is governed by the water and elecrolyte balance of the body, and the required concentration is achieved by the processes mentioned above in the nephron

Which of the following is not a function of<br> Proteins
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:  

anything contrary to the information provided below

Explanation:

Proteins determine the shape and structure of cells and the direction of almost all vital processes. Protein functions are specific to each of them and allow cells to maintain their integrity, defense of external agents, damage repair, control and regular functions, etc. selective binding to molecules. Structural proteins agree with other molecules of the same protein to cause a larger structure. However, other proteins bind to different molecules: antibodies to specific antigens, hemoglobin to oxygen, enzymes to their substrates, regulators of genetic expression to DNA, hormones to their specific receptors, etc.

Dr. Graham exposes rats to a vanilla scent prior to receiving a food pellet in the left corner of their cage, but provides no fo
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a. ​food pellet

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus is the stimulus that naturally elicits an unconditioned response. The unconditioned stimulus is usually paired with a neutral stimulus, and after pairing with a neutral stimulus, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a conditioned response alone.

In the experiment described above in the question, <em>the unconditioned stimulus is the food pellet,</em> which naturally elicits the response of the rat to wait at the far left corner of the cage. The neutral stimulus which is paired with the food pellet is the vanilla scent, which now becomes the conditioned response, when paired alone.

Students are modeling mRNA during the process of protein synthesis. Which answer choice correctly describes the model of the mRN
ivanzaharov [21]

The mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of thymine is paired with adenine.

<h3>What is RNA?</h3>

This is referred to as ribonucleic acid with its base adenine being paired with uracil.

The  mRNA strand which is known as messenger RNA is complementary to the DNA template strand and carries protein information from the DNA to cytoplasm for appropriate translation.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Genes coding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Explanation:

Chiasma is the connecting link between two non sister chromatids from homologous chromosomes. At chiasma chromosomal crossover takes place in which the genetic material is exchanged between the chromatids. During meiosis aneuploidy occurs if chiasma is absent or impaired due to a mutation in genes encoding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Aneuploidy is characterised by presence of abnormal number of chromosomes in cells. They can be 45 or 47 in number apart from the usual 46. Due to impaired chiasma, chromosome pair fails to separate and is passed on to the egg or sperm as it is hence there is one gamete with an extra chromosome and one gamete with a less chromosome. Aneuploidy can result in many genetic disorders like three copies of chromosome 21 can result in Down syndrome.

Plants adapted to the desiccating effects of the land environment and increased ultraviolet radiation with the evolution of ____
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

e. ​cutin

Explanation:

Plant exhibit many variations to withstand the temperature variations, desiccation and increased UV exposure which are some of the factors associated with land habitat. Cutin is a waxy substance that is found in the outer walls of the epidermal cells of plants. Cuticle in plants serves to make the outer most covering of aerial parts of the leaves and non-woody stem of herbaceous plants. The cuticle is made of cutin.

Cutin serves to protect the plant’s aerial surfaces from excess water loss. It also filters the excess UV light and thereby protects the underlying plant parts. The thickness of the cuticle varies in different plants depending upon the environmental conditions. The leaves of plants adapted to hot, dry climates have thick cuticles. The thickness of the cutin layer also varies in different parts of a plant. For example, the upper epidermis of leaf generally has a thicker cuticle than the shaded and relatively cooler lower epidermis.
