What is the significance of the Loop of Henle's length in different animals?
Longer loops are associated with greater water reabsorption and more concentrated urine.
Shorter loops are associated with greater water reabsorption and more concentrated urine.
Longer loops are associated with more dilute urine.
The length of the loop does not affect urine concentration.

Explanation

Longer Loops of Henle enable greater water reabsorption, leading to more concentrated urine, essential for water conservation in animals.
