Sometimes the microvilli on the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule are destroyed. What effect would this have?

Biology

Answer:

Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.

Explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.

The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.

You have to find the acceleration first. so you would use the equation a=Vf-V0/t.
This would be 0-20/0.5 which equals to be a=-40. then you plug this in to the force equation wich is F=ma. F=55 x -40.  F= -2200

Hope this helps!

Despite the fact that your body has enough fat reserves, leptin resistance makes you feel hungry and make you eat more.

How do baroreceptor reflexes would respond to a fall in blood pressure?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Barroreceptors are specific type of receptors that are present within the membrane or wells of the blood vessels and monitor the changes occur in blood pressure.

The major and important barroreceptors are located in carotid sinus and the aorta for detecting fluctuation in the blood pressure. If blood pressure falls these receptors firing rate decreases and barroceptors reflexes act to increase heart rate in order to restore blood pressure in an individual.

Thus, the correct answer would be - increasing heart rate.
