3. To regulate blood glucose levels.

4. To remove various toxins from the blood.

5. To store a variety of vitaminss and minerals.

Answer 1

Question 1

2) Decreased.

when comparing the water permeability of the ascending and descending limbs of loop of henle the descending limb is permeable to water.

then in case of ascending limb of loop of henle it is impermeable to water. Where it permeable to the ions and molecules ike sodium

Question 2

2. to secret the enzyme amylase.

others are the function of liver

to regulate the blood glucose level, to produce bile to emulsify lipids, to remove various toxins from the blood, to store vitamins and minerals are the function of liver.
