Dafna1 [17]3 years ago
7 0

The region known as the macula densa is part of excretory system.

More precisely, macula densa is a structure located in the kidney, in the wall of the distal tubule. The macula densa is composed of tightly packed specialized cells on the place where the distal tubule touches the glomerulus.

The role of this structure is to detect changes in concentration of sodium chloride and to send a signal to the afferent arterioles (to change blood pressure) or to the juxtaglomerular cells (renin release).

Name two ways that water can enter the atmosphere.​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:ways Water enters the atmosphere evaporation, transpiration, excretion and sublimation:

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from plants (via their leaves).

Sublimation is when ice or snow transforms directly into water vapour without going through a liquid phase (i.e. they do not melt).

Animals excrete water by respiration and by passing urine.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.

A certain bacterium was cultured for several generations in medium containing 15N, transferred to medium containing 14N, and all
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

On seeing the question, it is clear that it is based upon the concept of semi-conservative theory for the replication of DNA. It is mentioned that when the bacteria were grown on N-15, the mass was 55 fg. Now, after two generations, the DNA would comprise N-14 and the mass of them will be 5.4 fg.  

The average mass would be = 5.4 + 5.5 / 2 = 10.9 / 2 = 5.45 fg. The mass of the bacteria isolated from the culture would possibly contain both the masses. That is, the mass of DNA with N-14 only would be 5.4 fg, and the mass of DNA with both N-15 and N-14 would be the average, that is, 5.45 fg.
