What are the nephron?

Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney. There are about two million nephrons in each of our kidneys. Each nephron has a network of glomelural capillaries called  glomerulus where blood filtration occurs, and the renal tabule which is where the filtered fluid is converted to urine.

How they work?

The nephrons act as a filter, cleaning our blood. Unwanted metabolites like urea and creatinine are taken from the blood, as well as high amounts of sodium. The filtered fluid flows from inside Bowman's capsule (epithelial cells surrounding the glomerulus) and from there into the proximal tubule (see attached figure at the end). From the tubule, fluid flows into several other ducts until it reaches the ducts where collectors will empty into the renal pelvis.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

1. transcription of Tau DNA in different directions.

4. different chemical modifications of Tau protein.

Explanation:

Tau gene transcribe in different direction which depends upon the animal age. This happens because at different age and developmental stage, animal produce different RNA binding proteins which leads to formation of alternative splice forms. This reaction is strengthen by the addition of phosphate and sugar molecules which again depending on developmental stage and time.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D. The system provided an organized way to classify living things and it has been able to grow and develop. There is a place to enter new organisms as they are discovered or new evidence occurs

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus is a Swedish Botanist is universally referred to as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY because of his contribution to the development of a system of naming and classifying species, which is still globally recognized today. Linnaeus proposed the binomial nomenclature system which uses two of the hierarchical classification to name organisms i.e. genus and species. For example, humans are Homo sapiens; Homo (generic name), Sapien (specific name).

Modern scientists later modified Linnaeus classification by adding new ranks in order to accommodate new species and removing incorrectly classified organisms but Linnaeus classification remains the foundation. One important modification was the inclusion of a new taxon called DOMAIN.

What tissue contains large amounts of fluid and transports nutrients wastes and gases?
Elza [17]

Blood is the connective tissue that contains large amounts of fluid and transports nutrients wastes and gases.

Blood is considered a connective tissue as it has the same origin as other connective tissues like cartilage and bone cells. Blood also connects the whole body together and transports the needed oxygen, hormones, other nutrients and blood throughout the body and also expels out wastes.

The map shows an island arc in Alaska named the Aleutian Arc. What does the arc suggest about its surrounding geographic region?
nexus9112 [7]
We see that this is a region near the continents, so it is probable that there is the boundary of a tectonic plates around there. Since there are islands there, it is quite probable that there is a subduction zone near them which means that the oceanic crust is going below the continental one and the continental is slowly elevated. This also shows that the boundary is convergent, since transform boundaries do not lead to elevation. Near convergent boundaries, there are frequently volcanoes and shallow earthquakes. Finally, the climate near Alaska is cold and this does not depend on whether islands are near a boundary or not. So, 2 4 and 5 are correct.
