1 answer:

8 0

There are 3 main processes in urine formation. These are Filtration, reabsorption and secretion.
Filtration
Blood enters the afferent arteriole and goes to glomerulus where blood is filtered and it will sip inside the glomerulus and nonfilterable components will go into efferent arteriole.

Reabsoprtion
Molecules and ions will be reabsrobed into the system. The fluid will pass into the proximal, distal and convoluted tubules, loop of henle, as water an ions are removed as the fluid osmolarty changes. Last is secretion of substance that is not filtered.

How do chloroplasts get energy from sunlight?

OLga [1]

When the energy from the Sun hits a chloroplast and the chlorophyll molecules, light energy is converted into the chemical energy. Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.

Which of the following is a codon that codes for the same amino acid as the codon AGC?

Levart [38]

Answer:

UGA

Explanation:

There are 64 different codons in the genetic code and the below tables; most specify an amino acid.[7] Three sequences called stop codons, UAG, UGA, and UAA,[note 1] do not code for an amino acid but instead signal the release of the nascent polypeptide from the ribosome.[8] In the standard code, the sequence AUG—read as methionine—can serve as a start codon and, along with sequences such as an initiation factor, initiates translation.[3][9][10] In rare instances, start codons in the standard code may also include GUG or UUG; these codons normally represent valine and leucine, respectively, but as start codons they are translated as methionine or formylmethionine.[3][10]
