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.

Explain the role of a hypothesis in a scientific investigation.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A hypothesis is a testable proposition

used to explain scientific phenomena. It

may be based on previous observations

(a sort of educated guess) or it may

simply be a hunch. Most scientific

hypotheses are combinations of

observation and intuition. The important

thing is that the hypothesis be testable.

If the hypothesis is disproved through

testing, then it is discarded and a new

hypothesis is proposed. If the hypothesis

stands up to rigorous testing, then our

faith in the hypothesis is increased.

This system of careful, rigorous, and

unbiased testing of a hypothesis is what

characterizes the scientific method.

Hope it helps!
