Answer:

D. stabilizes the position of the kidneys by holding them in their normal position

Explanation:

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue and is therefore called by some adipose connective tissue. As we saw in the article “Connective Tissue Cells”, adipose tissue is made up of adipose cells, also called adipocytes. Fat tissue specializes in fat storage and is found well below the skin.

Some of our internal organs like kidneys and heart have a layer of adipose tissue lining them. This layer of fat around the organs gives them greater protection against mechanical shock. In addition, in the kidneys, adipose tissue fills the voids between other tissues and helps keep these organs in their normal positions.

How are energy inputs and outputs related to chemical reactions
GREYUIT [131]

The large number of areas covered by the chemical energetics can be explained by the different forms in which chemical energy can be released: heat and combustion work, electrical energy in electrochemistry, radiant energy in chemiluminescent systems.

The chemical energy provided by a reaction reflects the energy balance associated with the electronic modifications suffered by the species involved.

From an energy point of view, a chemical reaction between molecules can be schematized in two stages. The first requires a supply of energy and corresponds to the rupture of the bonds of the reactant molecules with release of the atoms which constitute them.

The second releases energy and concerns the creation, by recombination of these atoms, of new bonds entering the structure of the reaction molecules.

As a general rule, the energy released in the second stage is greater than the first. We are talking about exothermic reaction. The difference between these two energies (reaction enthalpy) measures the amount of chemical energy transferred to the external environment.

It is conceivable that this quantity translates, not only the number, but also the strength of the connections involved.

Chloride ions, Cl-, follow actively transported Na+ ions from the nephrons into the blood. Would you not expect the Cl- concentr
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Bicarbonate ion, HCO3- (which has a similar charge to chloride ions) also follow sodium ions into the blood. Also, potassium ions, K+ are transported into the nephron so some chloride ions and bicarbonate ions remains in the nephron to balance the charge.

Explanation:

Sodium is the primary positively charged electrolyte in extracellular fluid. Most of the solute reabsorbed in the proximal tubule is in the form of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride. Water is also reabsorbed in order to balance osmotic pressure

When sodium ions are reabsorbed into the blood, few of the substances that are transported with Na+ on the membrane facing the lumen of the tubules include Cl- ions, Ca2+ ions, amino acids, and glucose. Sodium is actively exchanged for K+ using ATP on the basal membrane.

In the distal convoluted tubule, K+ and H+ ions are selectively secreted into the filtrate, while Na+, Cl-, and HCO3- ions are reabsorbed to maintain pH and electrolyte balance in the blood.

Some chloride ions remains in the nephron to balance the charge of the secreted K+ ions and also due to the bicarbonate ions that are removed.

What are the products of light-dependent reactions? Why are they important in light-independent reactions?
tamaranim1 [39]

The products of light-dependent reaction are ATP and NADPH. They are essentially required to fix carbon dioxide and make glucose in light-independent reactions.

Light-dependent reactions are those that use the direct sunlight energy to make usable forms of chemical energy i.e., ATP and NADPH. For this, a pigment called chlorophyll is essential that has the ability to the capture the sunlight.

Light-independent reactions are those that do not directly depend on the sunlight energy to complete their process. Instead they are dependent on the products of light reactions so that they can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide and make glucose for the plant. Calvin cycle is the main process of light-independent reaction.
