One substance has no membrane transporters to move it but can diffuse freely through open leak channels if there is a concentrat

ion gradient. Initially, this substance's concentrations in the filtrate and extracellular fluid are equal. Later, however, the active transport of Na+ and other solutes creates a gradient by removing water from the lumen of the tubule where it is located. What substance is this?

<h2>Urea </h2>

Explanation:

Urea is a small nitrogenous compound which is the main end product of protein catabolism in mammals

  • Urea is a nitrogen-containing substance normally cleared from the blood by the kidney into the urine
  • It is made predominantly in the liver from ammonia and bicarbonate and is one of the main components of urine
  • The rate of synthesis varies from 300 to 600 mmol/day depending on the protein intake
  • All of this urea eventually finds its way into the urine
  • Because urea makes up a large part of the obligatory solute excretion, its osmotic pressure requires significant volumes of water to carry the urea
  • Urea passively crosses biological membranes, but its permeability is low because of its low solubility in the lipid bilayer
  • Some cells speed up this process through urea transporters, which move urea by facilitated diffusion
  • Urea is passively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, but its route of transport is not clear
  • Urea transporters have not yet been identified for the proximal tubule

Which is an abiotic factor that affects a freshwater ecosystem apex?
mina [271]
My guess is that fat-soluble toxins that may occur in freshwater ecosystems would most affect apex species in these ecosystems. This is because fat-soluble toxins are stored in the fat reserves of animals, and then bioaccumulate up the food chain. So in this case, most of the toxin is not secreted, but stored within the food chain, and bioaccumulates, with the concentration becoming higher the further up the food chain.

How did the results of Meselson and Stahl's experiment confirm that
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: Meselson & Stahl reasoned that these experiments showed that DNA replication was semi-conservative: the DNA strands separate and each makes a copy of itself, so that each daughter molecule comprises one "old" and one "new" strand. The semi-conservative model, in which each strand of DNA serves as a template to make a new, complementary strand, seemed most likely based on DNA's structure. ... From the patterns of DNA labeling they saw, Meselson and Stahl confirmed that DNA is replicated semi-conservatively.

During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown b
DIA [1.3K]

Answer: Option B) No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

Since the triplet codon ACG codes for the amino acid threonine, so also ACA codes for threonine, the single base change of Guanine (in ACG) to Adenine (ACA) is insignificant due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.

Thus, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur

What happens to the functionality of a protein if the temperature changes?
Sedbober [7]
Proteins can denature at extreme temperatures, or denature when inhibits are present. When this happens their functionality is dramatically reduced.
