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.

wariber [46]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Beryllium is used in alloys with copper or nickel to make gyroscopes, springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools. Mixing beryllium with these metals increases their electrical and thermal conductivity.  Other beryllium alloys are used as structural materials for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and communication satellites.  Beryllium is also used in nuclear reactors as a reflector or moderator of neutrons.
