A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home. A habitat meets all the environmental conditions an organism needs to survive. For an animal, that means everything it needs to find and gather food, select a mate, and successfully reproduce.
Answer: I believe it was the Cenozoic period
Explanation:
Explanation:
The principal end-products of this oxidation are CO2, which is released from the cell as waste, and NADH, which is the main source of electrons for transport along the respiratory chain—the name given to the electron-transport chain in mitochondria.
Answer:
- Flow through the renal tubule increases when glomerular filtration rate <u>increases</u>.
- When filtrate flow through the renal tubule increases, reabsorption of sodium chloride by the tubule <u>decreases</u>.
Explanation:
Renal tubules are structures that form part of the nephron -a functional unit of the kidney - whose function is the reabsorption of glomerular filtrate and the secretion of waste products, in addition to regulating the balance of water and body electrolytes.
The renal tubules are divided into:
- <em>Proximal contoured tubule, where most of the reabsorption occurs.</em>
- <em>Henle's handle, which is involved in electrolyte balance.
</em>
- <em>Distal contoured tubule, responsible for the secretion of substances to be eliminated.
</em>
The renal tubules are capable of reabsorbing 99% of the glomerular filtrate. The rate of glomerular filtrate is about 120 milliliters per minute, and the tubular flow depends on it, so if the glomerular filtrate increases, the amount of filtered fluid increases as well as the amount that flows through the renal tubule.
The water excreted by the kidney contains electrolytes -such as sodium, potassium, and chlorine- which it carries to the kidney's tubules. In order to achieve equilibrium, the tubules are responsible for reabsorbing and secreting electrolytes to maintain homeostasis.
However, certain conditions cause the tubular flow to increase, which prevents the adequate reabsorption of some electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, decreasing their reabsorption and increasing their excretion, as happens with the use of diuretic drugs.
