Answer:

Ammonification

Explanation:

The ammonification is part of the nitrogen cycle. This process occurs when the plants and animals die. The dead plants and animals start to decompose because of the organisms like the fungi and bacteria that manage to decompose them. As they are decomposed, the nitrogen is converted into ammonium by the decomposers. The ammonium is returned into the soil, thus becoming available for the living organisms that can extract it from it, and in that manner continuing the nitrogen cycle.

In which section of the nephron does the filtrate have a higher osmolarity than the blood when it enters and lower osmolarity th
Liula [17]
I believe it is the ascending loop of henle. In the ascending portion, the loop becomes impermeable to water and instead the cells of the loop, actively reabsorb the solute; thus water is not reabsorbed but ions are readily reabsorbed. As the ions are reabsorbed the concentration becomes more and more hypotonic until it reaches 100-150 mOsm/L. Therefore, the ascending loop is called the diluting segment of the nephron due to its ability to dilute the fluid in the loop from 1200 to 100 mOsm/L.

Vikentia [17]
The reaction being described is;            CO2 + H2O = H2CO3                            This reaction will be affected if carbonic anhydrase acts as a catalyst will be; that H2CO3 (carbonic acid) will be produced faster. Carbonic anhydrase enzyme balances the pH of the blood and also enables the breathing out of carbon dioxide. The reaction above catalyzed by the enzyme takes place in the red blood cells where carbon dioxide is converted into carbonic acid, which further breaks down into bicarbonate ions and protons.
