Options are not provided in the question. The complete question is as following:

The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the

A. glomerular capsule.

B. nephron loop.

C. proximal convoluted tubule.

D. distal convoluted tubule.

E. renal duct.

Answer:

C. proximal convoluted tubule.

Explanation:

Reabposrtion of glucose is supported by the nephron present in the kidney which mainatain body fluid homeostasis. It maintains extracellular body fluid volume stable and also maintains the minerals and salts which are essential for body functioning. So, glucose reabsorption is a part of homeostasis.

The process of glucose reabsorption primarily starts through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. proximal convoluted tubule are covered in microvillii and are extensive in length which increases the surface area for absorption. it also contain densly packed mitochndria which provide energy for efficient reabsorption. and then they are tranposrted to proximal straight tuble fo rfurther filteration.

Hence, the correct otpion is C.

Yearly rainfall-12–30 inches; mild summers, cold winters - _________________

Fudgin [204]

Yearly rainfall-12–30 inches; mild summers, cold winters are considered as weather conditions.

Explanation:

To understand the basic difference between the weather condition and climate let’s look into the basic difference. Weather condition is the condition that is been experienced whereas the climate is a condition that is expected to be happening for a long period of time.

Here mild summer and cold winners are the weather condition of that place. Climate will be the average weather of that particular region. While weather is the condition observed during that particular period climate is the condition observed for years together.

Amphibians moved to a terrestrial environment; however, they did not evolve the ability to live their entire lives on land. Expl

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Amphibians are not totally adapted to live on land because the aquatic environment is needed for several life processes such as reproduction, respiration, and sometimes, feeding.

The eggs of amphibians are without any protective shells and will suffer desiccation in the terrestrial environment. Hence, water is needed in order to protect the eggs. In addition, the male amphibians shed their sperm in the water close to the female eggs.

The young ones of amphibians are essentially aquatic and may not survive out of water for a long time because they only breathe gills - the lung is yet to develop or poorly developed at this stage. They have to grow and develop to a certain stage in water before they can start surviving on land.

Describe the flow of glomerular filtrate from its formation in bowman's capsule till it exits the body as urine

SOVA2 [1]

There are 3 main processes in urine formation. These are Filtration, reabsorption and secretion.
Filtration
Blood enters the afferent arteriole and goes to glomerulus where blood is filtered and it will sip inside the glomerulus and nonfilterable components will go into efferent arteriole.

Reabsoprtion
Molecules and ions will be reabsrobed into the system. The fluid will pass into the proximal, distal and convoluted tubules, loop of henle, as water an ions are removed as the fluid osmolarty changes. Last is secretion of substance that is not filtered.
