the tube that the filtrate flows through is called a nephron
the juxtamedullary nephron extends deep into the medulla in mammals and helps make hyperosmotic filtrate
in the proximal tubule the filtrate volume decreases
in the proximinal tubule the filtrate's osmolarity stays the same
in the descending portion of the loop of henle the filtrate becomes more concentrated because water is lost osmotically
if the filtrate in the descending loop of henle is 300 mOsm/L and the interstitial fluid around the loop is 400 then the net movement of water will be out of the filtrate
if the filtrate in the ascending portion of the loop of henle (still in the inner medulla) is 1200 mOsm/L and the surrounding interstitial fluid is 1000 mOsm/L the salts will move out of the filtrate
in the ascending portion of the loop of henle in the inner medulla salts move out of the filtrate
in the ascending portion of the loop of henle in the outer medulla salts move out the filtrate via active transport
in the distal tubule the filtrate becomes more concentrated and the volume decreases
the filtrate is most concentrated in the bottom of the loop of henle
the interstitial fluid is the most concentrated in the inner medulla
antibodies in bodily fluid are an an example of humoral and adaptive immunity
the net movement of water through a permeable membrane will be from the hypoosmotic solution to the hyperosmotic solution
do freshwater fish need to drink water?
no
what form of nitrogenous waste is most common in animals with an amniotic egg?
uric acid
antibodies are part of the adaptive immune response
vaccine stimulate b cells to make antibodies and create a memory of the antigen
vaccines prepare your body for exposure to a pathogen and reduce disease
vaccines can be full dead viruses, particular antigens on a pathogen, rna to make the antigen, or not the pathogen itself
ancestral antigens are used in vaccines when information about the genomes and genes of specific strains of flu
if the earth were a flat disk there would be a lack of variety of biomes
air and water particles are moving west to eat at a faster velocity at zero degrees
warm wet biomes are located at zero degrees
deserts are located at thirty degrees latitude on western sides because dry air cells return to earth and create a high pressure system
latitude is not the best predictor of climate in oceans
warm ocean currents run past the east side of continents
in a temperate lake dissolved oxygen in the benthos will be the lowest in the summer
in a temperate lake dissolved nutrients in the surface will be the lowest in the summer
deep water hypoxia in a temperate lake is found in the summer
populations grow when births>deaths and immigration>emigration
when death rate>birth rate, r<0
as N approaches zero, dN/dt=rN
as N approaches K, dN/dt=0
humans show exponential growth
the logistic model has a carrying capacity
the logistic model has intraspecific competion
example of a community
all trees on campus
the logistic model accounts for limiting resources
