Answer:

Countercurrent flow met the goals due to difference in concentration gradient.

Explanation:

Countercurrent flow met the goals because it flows in opposite direction while on the other hand, parallel flow did not meet the goals because it flows in the same direction. For example. the blood flows in one direction and the dialysate flows in the opposite direction. The countercurrent flow of the blood and dialysate increases the concentration gradient between the blood and dialysate. The increased gradient helps to remove more potassium, phosphorus and urea from the blood. If we used parallel flow so less  concentration gradient of solutes is present and hence, less potassium, phosphorus and urea are removed from the blood

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

I'm a eukaryotic, plant cell. I would be the central vacuole that stores excess water, food, and waste. There's only one of me in a plant cell. If I weren't in the cell, it would collapse or burst, because it well lose its turgor pressure. Moreover, the cell won't have enough space to store all the water and molecules needed for conducting photosynthesis. I resemble the stomach in a human body; a stomach stores food and water for later use.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

This will happen in 39 years.

Explanation:

The population of the birds varies as A = A.e^kt

The population of birds fell from 1400 from 1000

Time it will take for the population to fall below 100 = x years.

when t = 0, population = 1400

t= 3; Population = 1000

Therefore:

1400 = 1000e^5k

e^5k= 1400/1000

k= (In 1.4)/5

we need to find x, such that

1400/1000= (e^xk)

14=(e^xk)

In(14) =kx

x= 5In(14)/In(1.4)

x= 39 years
