Explain how water is reabsorbed in the kidney?

Reabsorption of water and specific solutes occurs to varying degrees over the entire length of the renal tubule. Bulk reabsorption, which is not under hormonal control, occurs largely in the proximal tubule. Over 70% the filtrate is reabsorbed here.

Answer:

Water is reabsorbed in the kidney with the help of nephron.

Explanation:

Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of kidney. It has 3 main parts, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule. Absorption of water mainly occurs in the descending limb of loop of Henle, although it is absorbed in all three parts of nephron.

Initially, the water is absorbed from descending limb, which makes the urine concentrated. Then, from the ascending limb, Na and other ions are absorbed to make urine more concentrated. This high concentration eases the absorption of water from distal convoluted tubule.

The expression 40x2 – 65x + 50 represents the sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon in degrees. If the interior angle
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

2(8x^2-13x+10)

Explanation:

There are 5 angle s in a pentagon and we are assuming are pentagon is a regular one so the angles are all congruent.

Let's let A represent the measurement of one of the those angles in our pentagon.

The sum of our angles in our pentagon would then be A+A+A+A+A or 5A.

But we are also given that this equals 40x^2-65x+50.

So that means 5A=40x^2-65x+50.

If we divide both sides by 5 we can find what one of our angles is in terms of x.  So let's do that A=8x^2-13x+10.

So we want to know the sum of two our angles, we want to know what is A+A or 2A.  2A=2(8x^2-13x+10).  To obtain that I just multiplied both sides of A=8x^2-13x+10 by 2.

The end product of transcription is _____ and the end product of translation is _____.
ANTONII [103]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C. And the full statement is:

The end product of transcription is <u>__mRNA___</u> and the end product of translation is _<u>_Proteins_</u>__.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Translation and the transcription are the two main process of central dogma of life.
  • DNA is the nucleotide sequence for the protein production. In this process DNA is first converted to RNA and then RNA moves to the cytoplasm for the production of proteins in the ribosomes.
  • So the transcription is process in which DNA is converted into mRNA in the cytoplasm.
  • In cytoplasm production of proteins by the mRNA is known as translation.
