Answer:

Negative feedback

Explanation:

Dehydration stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to release vasopressin hormone in blood which in turn makes kidneys to reabsorb more water. vasopressin prevents water loss by stimulating the formation of concentrated urine and release of more salts from the body. Since the hormone is released to bring about change in the hydration level of the body (to restore the controlled condition again by reversing the change), it is an example of a negative feedback system.

The fluid that enters vertebrate nephrons is called the filtrate. What is the source of the filtrate
Alecsey [184]

the source of the filtrate is Loop of Henle.

The Henle loop is surrounded by tissue fluid with a high ion concentration. Osmosis causes water to move out of the descending limb. As a result of the more concentrated filtrate, ions move out of the loop in the thin ascending limb.

The nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus. Using hydrostatic pressure, plasma is forced through the walls of the glomerulus, becoming filtrate as it crosses, and then collecting within Bowman's capsule. The fluid that enters vertebrate nephrons is called the filtrate.

<h3>Which part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle?</h3>

A million nephrons are the filtering units of the human kidney, which is a complex and highly vascular organ. Each filters water and solutes from the blood that flows through it into the surrounding space and is the cavity between the cup's walls. The other part resembles a U-shaped loop that transports the filtered fluid deep into the medulla.

<h3>Functions of Nephron</h3>

The primary function of the Nephron is to flush out waste products from the blood, which include solid waste and other excesses. This blood is transformed into urine through secretion and excretion.

The nephron, a basic structural unit of the kidney, is a microscopic structure composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.

Codons form a unit of the genetic code that determines a specific .
DiKsa [7]

Answer: The correct answer is- Amino acid.

Codon represents a unit of genetic code, which determines a specific amino acid.

It is a sequence of three nucleotides that are present in DNA/RNA sequence and codes for a specific amino acid ( like UUU codes for phenylalanine) during the process of translation. Codon also generates a start signal or stop signal during protein synthesis ( such as AUG is a start codon and UGA is a stop codon)
