Describe the adaptations of the mammalian kidney to selective reabsorption​

Biology
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: The tubule is long and highly coiled to provide a large surface area for selective reabsorption. The coiling of the tubule reduces the speed of the flow of the filtrate to give more time for efficient reabsorption. The tubule is well supplied with blood capillaries to increase a steep diffusion gradient for selective re-absorption.

Explanation: Selective reabsorption occurs because during ultrafiltration, important components of the blood are filtered out and they need to be reabsorbed into the body.

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.

Do you think you would have some genetic traits similar to your grandparents? EXPLAIN your answer.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Genes are passed on from generation to generation. When a male and a female produce an offspring, the offspring would get half of their genes from their mother, and the other half from their father.So your parents get half of their genes from their parents, (which in this case, are your grandparents) and they pass them on to you. Unlike your parents, you get traits from both sides of your family, some from your mother's side and some from your father's side.

This is why you share similar traits as your grandparents and at the same time,there is also a chance that you also share some (of course not all) traits with your direct cousins, because they also share some traits to your grandparents.
