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.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Taj Mahal is slowly losing its white color because of pollutants from vehicles and industries around it. It is a result of chemical weathering. Polluted air contains a large amount of nitrogen and sulfur oxide released from the industries in the area.  

These chemical comes down with the rain and called acid rain. This acid rain reacts with the marble which is made up of calcium carbonate thereby turning the Taj Mahal yellow.  

These environmental pollution cause the oxidation of marble constituents from which Taj Mahal is made up of and are responsible for the chemical weathering of Taj Mahal.

All embryos appear female during early development. <br> a. True<br> b. False
guapka [62]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Geneticists have discovered that all human embryos start life as females. In the early development in the embryonic stage, this is true both for humans and mammals. This changes only at the 2nd month (in the case of humans, since different mammals have different gestating periods) if the embryo can elaborate enough androgens (dominant male hormone) to offset the maternal estrogens (dominant female hormone) then, maleness develops.

Why are ecological pyramids shaped as pyramids?
REY [17]
The answer is A
This is because 90% of energy is lost when we go up one trophic level. This means that even the the consumers tend to be larger in size, they are fewer in number and need to eat more in order to sustain themselves.
