What connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules?

Biology
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago
7 0
I believe that the loop of Henle is the hairpin structure that connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle is composed of the ascending and the descending limb. The descending loop of Henle connects the proximal convoluted tube with the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, while the ascending loop of Henle connects the descending limb of the loop of Henle with the distal convoluted tubule.

Which advance in biology resulted from developments in cell technology?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Immortal cell line

Explanation:

An immortalised cell line is a population of cells from a multicellular organism which would normally not proliferate indefinitely but, due to mutation, have evaded normal cellular operation and instead can keep undergoing division. The cells can therefore be grown for prolonged periods in vitro

Immortal cell lines are a very important tool for research into the biochemistry and cell biology of multicellular organisms. Immortalised cell lines have also found uses in biotechnology.

Explain how individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors.
irga5000 [103]
Individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors is a statement which reflects reality. Firstly, susceptibility to certain diseases usually or often runs in a family so that if there is say, diabetes in the father and grandmother for example, the son or daughter has more chances of getting it so this is a genetic susceptibility.. Also, some families are more prone to cancer so that given the right circumstances, cancer can develop. So it is usually a combination of both genetic and environmental causes that results in a disease. An example of public health could be when smallpox was deliberately introduced to the First Nations people in British Columbia, Canada back in the 1800's to decimate them and remove their resistance to the gold mining hordes. Since the First Nations had no anti-bodies to counteract such a disease unlike the white men who introduced it to them, then they easily fell prey to it and died within days of contracting it.

You are conducting a case control study to determine if an association exists between melanoma and indoor tanning. From a statew
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a. Odds ratio = 1.58

b.  Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning

Explanation:

For case  study                                                  

Let 'a'  represent the total population of people with melanomia = 696                                                      

Let 'b' represent the total number of people with melanomia exposed to indoor tanning  =  1107 – 696 = 411 people

For  control study

Let 'c' represent the total population = 1500

Let 'd' represent the total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning = 1500 - (0.428 * 1500)

                                                          =  1500 - 723

Total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning   = 777 people

                                                       

a. Odds ratio = (a/b) / (d/c) = (696/411) / (777/723)

                                                = 1.69 / 1.07 = 1.58

b. Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning.

Which class of organic molecules provides long-term energy storage. a. carbohydrates b. proteins c. starches d. lipids
Sphinxa [80]
Answer: D - Lipids
Lipids provide a long term energy storage because they contain longer C-H bonds compared to the other organic molecules, making it easier for them to store larger amount of energy. Moreover, upon burning they produce twice the amount of calories compared to that of the carbohydrates.
