Answer: Option C) proximal convoluted tubule
Explanation:
The nephron has the proximal tubule where some water, amino acids and salts which are useful to the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries against concentration gradient by active transport.
Thus, the process of selective reabsorbtion takes place in the proximal convoluted tubule
Answer: B boiling point
Explanation: To determine the mixture what given component is separated out from the mixture by its boiling point.
Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.
1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.
2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.
3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.
4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.
b) some bacteria reduce nitrate ion
