Can reabsorbing of solutes influence the reabsorption of water from the tubule fluid?
Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.
In which segment of the nephron does tubular fluid have the highest osmolality?
Henles loop
Does isotonic mean a fluid containing salt and minerals?
If you meant an isotonic solution, an isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration of solutes as the cell it is being compared to. This creates dynamic equilibrium, as the amount of solutes entering the cell and leaving the cell is the same.
In nephron what is the fluid that precedes urine?
The fluid that precedes urine in the nephron is called tubular fluid.
Is the distal convoluted tubule more permeable to water than solutes?
No, The DCT is impermeable to water. Solutes (Na and Cl) are absorbed from the DCT. As a consequence the osmolality of tubular fluid DECREASES as it moves through the distal convoluted tubule, from ~100mOsm/L at it exits the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to around 70mOsm/L as it enters the collecting duct.

What fluid in the body has the highest hydrogen ion concentration?
Gastric juice.
What is hyper tonic and what is hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
If the concentration of sodium ions in the fluid surrounding cells decrease and the concentration of the solutes inside the cell remain constant what will happen?
The cell will expand until the ionic concentration is the same inside as out (or the membrane fails and the cell "explodes").
Which electrolyte has the highest concentration in the intracellular fluid?
The electrolyte with the highest intracellular concentration would probably be considered to be sodium chloride (NaCl), or at least Na^+ cation.

The process that transports substances out of the tubular fluid and back into the blood of the peritubular capillary is known as?
Tubular secretion

The movement of materials from the blood to the tubular fluid is called?
dialysis
