1.	The longest loop of Henle is found inA. kangaroo ratB. opposumC. rhesus monkeyD. porcupine.
Answer» Correct Answer - A Kangaroo rat lives in desert, therefore, it needs to conserve water in the body. In kangaroo rat, loop of Henle is significantly longer as it descends further into the medulla and produces a higher concentration gradient in the surrounding tissue so as to produce urine which is 18 times concentran than that of their blood. this gradient allows more water to diffuse into surrounding tissues to be reabsorbed.
