Biology
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Proximal convoluted tubule

Explanation:

The major work of re-absorption is carried out in nephron by the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). The PCT re-absorbs all the essential nutrients such as amino acid, potassium, glucose etc. and water driven by passive transfer based on concentration gradient. Along with gradient, pH of the urine also affects the re-absorption. Based on the pH of the urine (basic or acid), re-absorption of ionized acid increases or decreases.

Does hot water tend to rise or sink? Explain.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

When fluids (liquids and gases) are heated, they expand and therefore become less dense. Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water.

Explanation:

When you heat up water, the water molecules start moving around faster and faster. ... So hot water is less dense than cold water. When you put the two together with the hot water on the bottom, the hot water rises to the top.

SashulF [63]
Chromosome number varies from one organism to another. or example, humans have 46 chromosomes while bacteria have only one chromosome.

ESTOS ALIMENTOS DULCES AZUCARADOS NO SÓLO SON MALOS PARA LA SALUD,SINOQUE YANDIEN PUEDEN SER E________.AMENUDO SE DISFRASAN CON
Semenov [28]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, no anexaste opciones o incisos para responder la pregunta. Sin embargo, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

ESTOS ALIMENTOS DULCES AZUCARADOS NO SÓLO SON MALOS PARA LA SALUD, SINO QUE TAMBIEN PUEDEN SER ENGAÑOSOS. A MENUDO SE DISFRAZAN CON NOMBRES QUE PUEDEN SER SABROSOS.

Es muy importante que seas cuidadoso con los alimentos que consumes como parte de tu alimentación. Muchas empresas, a través de sus marcas, comparten publicidad engañosa para atraer más clientes bajo la promesa de alimentos sabrosos y nutritivos. Y la verdad es que no. Te están engañando.

No hay nada como basar tu dieta diaria en frutas, verduras y un equilibrio entre proteínas, carbohidratos, azúcares naturales y grasas.

Si es necesario, consulta a tu médico o a un nutriólogo para que te expliquen qué tan malo pueden ser los alimentos con muchos químicos.

¿Son sabrosos? Sí, pero también están llenos de sal, grasas, azúcares en excesos que le hacen mucho daño a tu salud.

En México ya existe una ley que obliga a todos los productos colocar unas etiquetas de color negro con blanco en todos los productos con la leyenda: "exceso de sodio," "exceso en grasas," exceso en azúcar."

Esto, con el propósito de que la gente se entere antes de comprarlos.

How does pH affect cells and cellular processes
wel
The slightest change in pH can destroy the substance or organism. The pH of a cell's interior helps regulate the cell's chemical reactions. For example, the pH of blood is 7.4, if blood falls to 6.8 or lower or 8.2 or higher, it results in death.
