How are trees and alike?
They are both alive, both need the sun, both need nutrients and water.
What are the similarities between the distal tubule and the proximal tubule?
- proximal tubule : • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport. • Within proximal tubule, pH is controlled by secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32). - distal tubule • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport. Distal tubule helps regulate potassium (K1) and salt (NaCl) concentration of body fluids. • As in proximal tubule, pH is controlled by tubular secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32).
How do animals absorb nutrients and water?
Animals absorb nutrients through their digestive system, where food is broken down by enzymes and absorbed in the intestines. Water is absorbed primarily in the colon. Both nutrients and water are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells where they are used for various functions in the body.
What are the similarities between the small intestine and a vacuole?
they're both in your body, they're both intestines they both absorb nutrients and water
Why does water follow sodium and not potassium in the human body particularly in the kidney nephrons?
Water follows sodium because of the osmotic gradient created by the reabsorption of sodium in the nephrons. Sodium is actively transported out of the nephron, creating a concentration gradient that drives the passive reabsorption of water. Potassium is reabsorbed in a different segment of the nephron and does not create the same osmotic force to drive water reabsorption.
Do seed plants have roots or stems?
Seed plants have both roots and stems. Roots anchor the plant in the ground and absorb water and nutrients, while stems support the plant and transport water and nutrients between roots and leaves.
How are herbaceous and woody stems alike?
Both herbaceous and woody stems are part of the plant's structure that provide support and transportation of nutrients. They both have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) for conducting water and nutrients. Additionally, both types of stems can produce lateral branches and leaves for photosynthesis.
What are integral and transmembrane proteins?
the proteins that protrude from both surfaces of the bilayer
Do insects absorb nutrients through their anus?
In insects important salts and water are re-absorbed by both the hindgut and rectum.
What process occurs across the wall of small blood vessels pushing both water and dissolved nutrients into the tissues of the body?
DIFFUSSIONDiffusion
What grows on both of roots and helps absorb nutrients and water?
Root Hairs A+
What is the process of reabsorption as it occurs in nephrons?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
