Question
Chapter 33, Problem 13WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the descending limb of the nephron loop is different from the ascending limb. Also consider their roles in the transport of sodium ions, and the cells that have the most mitochondria, the cells lining the descending limb and the cells lining the ascending limb.
Introduction:
The descending limb of the nephron is permeable to water through osmosis. Since, osmosis is a passive transport process; a few numbers of mitochondria would be required. The ascending limb of the nephron causes the transport of salts out of the nephron through active transport. This needs ATP and many more mitochondria.
