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.

Which of the following statements is true?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The true statement is: "Spring tides are the highest, while neap tides are the lowest."

  • The range of difference in the level of water between high and low tide is always larger in spring tide.
  • Neap tides are the moderate tides. It does not have huge difference in higher and low tides because the bulging of the ocean ( by the sun)  balances the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon.
