You are a physiologist on a space flight to a distant planet. You discover intelligent human-like aliens on the planet. You discover that the alien's kidney handles the sugar alcohol mannitol just like our kidneys handle inulin. The data from that experiment are: • Plasma level (constant over 24 hrs): 6 g/dL of mannitol • 24 hr. urine sample: volume of 2 L, containing 144 g mannitol What is the alien's glomerular filtration rate (in units of ml/min)?
