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.

Which term describes the example below?A child with no freckles has a mother who has freckles and is heterozygous and a father w
Natali5045456 [20]
It is C as to have freckles you have to have a dominant and recessive gene (can be worked out using a punnett square) as the child has 50% of not having freckles like his dad or 50% having freckles like his mom. 
                     male genes(homozygous recessive)
                     f            f

female    F    Ff           Ff
genes
              f     ff             ff

so ff is not having freckles and being homozygous recessive, or Ff having freckles and being heterozygous.

So the child is heterozygous  so C

The spinal cord is like an information highway that connects the _____ nervous system to the brain.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Peripheral

Explanation:

The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) & peripheral nervous system (PNS). The brain and the spinal cord comprise the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system serves the rest of the body and they branch from the spinal cord. Ii is in the peripheral nervous system that you'll find motor and sensory neurons. The sensory neurons take information to the CNS to be processed. After processing information, the CNS sends back information through the motor neuron of the PNS indicating which action to be taken based on the ‘input’ information.
