Explain why countercurrent flow met the goals and why parallel flow did not meet the goals.

Biology
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]2 years ago
3 0

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

A4 kg object possesses 18 J of kinetic energy. What is its velocity?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

velocity = 3 m/s

Explanation:

kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass(kg) * velocity²

Using the formula:

                                     18 = 1/2 * 4 * velocity²

                                      9 = velocity²

                                     velocity = 3 m/s

What are the three main processes that make up aerobic respiration? Name each process, provide a brief description of the proces
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:  

Aerobic respiration is a process glucose produces energy in the presence of oxygen. In this process glucose is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy (ATP)

Three main processes that make up aerobic respiration are:

1. Glycolysis:  it takes place in the cytosol of the cell. Here, glucose is oxidized to form three carbon molecule pyruvate. This process produces energy in the form of 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules. These NADH molecules carries 2 energy electrons these electrons are utilized by the electron transport chain.

2. Kreb's cycle: it takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell. Here, the molecules of pyruvate produced during glycolysis is utilized to produce ATP.

3. Electron transport chain:  glucose is not entirely converted into ATP. The NADH molecules produce during glycolysis  produces 2 energy electrons these electrons are taken up by electron transport chain in the mitochondria inner matrix. A proton gradient develops across the matrix after donation of electrons to electron transport chain. This gradient in turn produces energy in the form of ATP.

Why DNA replicates from 5' to 3' ?​
Schach [20]
DNA replication goes in the 5' to 3' direction because DNA polymerase acts on the 3'-OH of the existing strand for adding free nucleotides. DNA replication can take place both the directions chemically. ... But these nucleotide triphosphates hydrolyze spontaneously under aqeuous conditions.
