Answer:

The correct option is A

Countercurrent multiplication is the process whereby energy is used to generate an osmotic gradient in which water is reabsorbed from the tubular fluid to produced concentrated urine.

Explanation:

Countercurrent multiplication moves sodium chloride from tubular fluid into interstitial space deep within the kidneys. The concurrent multiplication process build up osmotic gradient interstitial fluid in a single effect. Here, sodium chloride is driven by active transport out of the tubular fluid in the thick ascending limb into the interstitial fluid, which becomes hyperosmotic. This result to water moving passively down its concentration gradient out of the tubular fluid in the descending limb into the interstitial space to a point where it attains a state of equilibrium.

Therefore,the correct option is A, where the ions leaves the ascending limb to make water comes out of descending limb.

What is the theory of natural selection, and why does it occur in an organism? Give an example.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

It occurs in organisms because an organism with a beneficial trait/mutation have a higher chnace of surviving compared to organisms that do not. So the organsims that do survive pass on their genes to the next generation, and the bext generation will pass on those genes to the generation after and so on. But all the organisms that do not possess a beneficial trait/mutations will not survive, therefore they cannot reproduce and pass on those genes to their offspring. This means that most of the population will posses that trait/mutation.

Example: Spotted moths camouflage with bark so they are seen by predators and eaten. Black moths are easily seen by predators and are eaten. Spotted moths then pass on their genes to the next generation of moths.
