Answer:

distal convoluted tubule

Explanation:

This is the region  of the nephron downstream the macula densa ,which extends the  to convulence of the collecting duct.Due to response to  mineralocoticoid aldosterone they can be categorised as Distal Convoluted 1 and Distal convoluted 2. This steroid hormones is responsible for homeostatic control of hyperkalemia.

The DCT cells are simple cuboidal epithelium.The stained or  pointed part of the image represented this possess this shape,they are therefore portion of DCT. Besides the stained cells are located above the glomerulus ()in  the cortex as indicated,therefore they can not be the proximal which must be  below the glomerulus, based on the  shape ascending and descending loop of Henle (despite  located in the cortex too).

The functions of the DCT is  in the absorption and secretions of ions(majorly ca+,Na+ and chloride ions.By secreting hydrogen and reabsorbing  HC03 ions ,the pH of the urine is maintained.

Explanation:

  • Option a. states that both, the nuclear and the cell membrane have two layers. This is only true for the nuclear membrane that consists of two lipid bilayers whereas the plasma membrane only contains one layer.
  • c. Only the nuclear membrane has nuclear pores that connect the two bilayers. The pores act as protein channels or passages that allow transport of materials. The cell membrane does contain channel proteins or transmembrane proteins but not protein channels.
  • d. The nuclear membrane separates nuclear contents from the cytoplasm whereas the cell membrane separates cellular contents from the extracellular environment.
