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.

What makes a tunicate more complicated than a sea sponge?
Umnica [9.8K]

Given what we know, we can confirm that in summary, what makes a tunicate more complicated than a sea sponge is cellular differentiation.

<h3>What is cellular differentiation?</h3>

This is what we call the cells ability to specialize itself into a specific cell type. Some examples of this in humans include:

  • Heart cells
  • Digestive cells
  • Reproductive cells
  • etc.

Due to this, tunicates have evolved different tissues, organs, and complete cell types, making them much more complicated organisms than sea sponges.

Therefore, we can confirm that due to the multiple tissues, organs, and systems developed through cellular differentiation, tunicates have become more complicated than sea sponges.

A bacterium and amoeba are placed in different domains because
12345 [234]
The correct answer is D.
 The domain is the broadest category in the classification of living organisms. All the living organisms are placed in three domains, which are archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes. The prokaryotes are separated into two groups, that is archaea and bacterial based on the differences in their 16S rRNA genes. Amoeba is classified as an eukaryotes because, its cell is more developed than that of bacteria.

If the integument of an angiosperm seed contains cells with 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the
OleMash [197]

Answer:

30

Explanation:

The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.

Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.
