What is the overall process that refines the filtrate and ultimately returns water and valuable solutes to the blood is known as?
reabsorption
How does urine differ from the original filtrate?
From the original filtrate, a lot of much needed electrolytes (Sodium e.t.c) are reabsorbed (absorbed back into blood), a few substances secreted further into the urine, then loads of water reabsorbed to fine tune body water to exactly how much you need(as much as possible), making urine far more concentrated than the original filtrate.
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
What has to happen for a disaccharide to be absorbed?
Hydrolysis must occur before a disaccharide can be absorbed into the bloodstream. A water molecule is added during this process.
Is the filtrate pure in the filtration of sand and water?
yes
What is the role of aldosterone?
Aldosterone promotes water retention and reduces urine volume
What is the roleof aldosterone?
Aldosterone will cause Na+ to be absorbed from a filtrate
What happens to the filtrate concentration of water as it descends the tubules?
As the filtrate goes down the hypertonic interstitum of the renal medulla, water leaves the filtrate into the interstitum. As such, the water concentration in the filtrate decreases.

What is the process by which water is absorbed by the soil called?
percolation
Filtrate is formed within the glomerulus by the process of?
The filtrate is formed as a liquid which is forced to pass through the walls of glomerulus. This is formed after the process of filtration.
Where is water absorbed in plants?
water is absorbed through the roots of the plants. they need it to process theyre own food
Define tubular secretion?
Process whereby selected molecules are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate Process whereby selected molecules are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate
What items can you filtrate in the kitchen?
water
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
When solid sodium hydroxide is added to water the solution gets hot is this endothermic or exothermic?
The hotness of water proves heat is absorbed by water so the process is exothermic which releases the heat and is absorbed by water.
