Question

How does the metabolism of glutamine by the tubular cells contribute new HCO3 2 to the blood and ammonium to the urine?

Chemical pathways by which living things function, especially those that provide cellular energy, such as the transformation of energy from food into the energy of ATP. Metabolism also focuses on chemical pathways involving the synthesis of new biomolecules and the elimination of waste.
