Question:

Which of these is not a property of the renal counter-current multiplier?

It is opposed by the vasa recta.

It exploits the structure of the nephron loop.

It depends on active ion transport to function.

It creates a hyperosmotic interstitial fluid in the kidney medulla.

Answer:

The correct option is;

It is opposed by the vasa recta

Step-by-step explanation:

Counter current multiplication is the process whereby energy is used to build osmotic pressure gradient in the kidney such that water is reabsorbed from the exit tubular fluids reducing the volume of produced urine by increasing the urine concentration while the vasa recta capillaries slows blood flow rate so as to keep the osmotic pressure gradient constant enabling water to be reabsorbed thus concentrating the urine in line with counter current multiplication.

D is halfway between A and B

so the coordinates of D are (2,2)

E is halfway between A and C so the coordinates of E are (-1,1)

now you need to find the gradient/slope of DE and BC using the formula:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

<h3>Gradient of DE: </h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF D AND E

$\frac{1 - 2}{ - 1 - 2}$

therefore the gradient of DE is 1/3.

<h3>Gradient of BC:</h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF B AND C

 $\frac{ - 2 - 0}{ - 3 - 3}$ 

therefore the gradient of BC is -2/-6 which simplifies to 1/3.

<h3>therefore, BC and DE are parallel as they both have a gradient/slope of 1/3 and parallel lines have the same gradient</h3>

If (x, -3) is on the line described by f(x)=-x+8, what is the value of x

qwelly [4]

The value of x that the given point of the function is 11.

<h3>Linear Function</h3>

An equation can be represented by a linear function. The standard form for the linear equation is: y= ax+b , for example, y=5x+3. Where:

a= the slope

b= the constant term that represents the y-intercept.

For the previous example: a=5 and b=3.

The question gives a point (x , -3) of a function f(x)= -x+8. Therefore, you can write

-3=-x+8

x=8+3

x=11

Thus, the x-coordinate is equal to 11.
