Explain how water is reabsorbed in the kidney?

Biology

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.

Iteru [2.4K]
Because the recessive trait might not show, but its there, lets say B is brown eyes and b is blue eyes, BB is brown, Bb is brown, and bb is blue, if B is present, brown will always show, but as long as the little b is there, there is a chance of the kids having blue eyes, sure most people would have brown eyes, but a lot of the people with brown eyes would be Bb

True or false: In a gel electrophoresis gel, a DNA fragment containing 100 bp (base pairs) would travel faster (and further) tha
vova2212 [387]

Answer: true

Explanation: In gel electrophoresis, the smaller the size/molecular weight of DNA the faster it moves across the gel and vise versa. This is as a result of the pore size of the gel which is usually prepared 1g of agarose in 100ml of distilled water. So a DNA fragment with 1000 base pairs will "struggle" its movement across the gel pore making it mive less faster and further. Movement and molecular weight of DNA are inversely proportional.
