Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 13TYK
Cells lining kidney tubules function in the reabsorption of water from urine. In response to chemical signals, they reversibly insert additional aquaporins into their plasma membranes. In which of these situations would your tubule cells have the most aquaporins: after a long run on a hot day, right after a large meal, or after drinking a large bottle of water? Explain.

Two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable only to water. The two solutions are: Solution A = 150 mM KCl Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide) Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation?
- water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side
- water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side
- The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side
- Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane
- There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sides
Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
Which process—diffusion, osmosis, or filtration—is utilized in the following situations? a. Injection of a drug that is hypertonic to the tissues stimulates pain. b. The urea concentration in the dialyzing fluid of an artificial kidney is decreased.

- When two chambers are separated by a membrane permeable to water but not solute, if water is free to move in either direction without limitation or pressure, then water will move until the concentration of solute on both sides of the chamber is equal move until there is no water on the dilute side move until there is no water on the concentrated side move until the concentration of water on both sides of the chamber is equalarrow_forwardA solution of water and dissolved ions is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not small ions.

- When the kidneys filter plasma, the filtered glucose is reabsorbed from the renal tubules and is not passed in the urine. However, glucose can appear in the urine when the blood sugar is exceptionally high. Given that glucose is reabsorbed by carrier-mediated transport, what functional aspect of carrier-mediated transport does the appearance of glucose in urine demonstrate? Explain.arrow_forwardA student designed an experiment to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion through dialysis tubing. Four different solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested under identical conditions. Twenty mL of each solution was placed into separate dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, Cl-, and water. Each bag was placed in a separate beaker and covered with distilled water. The concentration of NaCl in the water outside of each bag was measured at 40-second intervals. The graph below shows the results from the 5% bag: Concentration of NaCl Outside of Dialysis Bags Concentration of NaCl (mg/L) 400 320 240 160 80 0 40 80 Time(seconds) 120 5% Solution 160 a.
