Why is K plus more concentrated in the urine then filtrate?
K+ is more concentrated in the urine than filtrate because while other substances are reabsorbed into the capillaries through the large pores, the potassium mostly stays in the urine, which increases its concentration. Also, the pH of the body needs adjustments, which needs a large amount of K+ to be excreted through the excretory system to adjust to the optimum pH for the body.
Plasma contains a much greater concentration of what than glomerular filtrate?
Proteins is the right answer.
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 is a solution that has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentration then another solution?
Hypotonic is the term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration than another solution Hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration compared with another solution.
Is the concentration of ozone in polluted areas typically much higher than it is in the ozone layer?
No, concentration of ozone in polluted areas typically aren't higher than it is in the ozone layer.
What causes the concentration of urea to be higher in the urine than in the filtrate?
During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.
Which would be in a greater relative concentration in the urine than in the glomerular filtrate?
Phosphate ions, sulfate ions, potassium ions, urea, uric acid, creatine.

Can you test the amount of opiates in somebodies urine test?
Possible but it is extra testing and more money (not part of standard urine testing). Standard urine tests use cut off concentration for detection , higher concentration in your urine is "positive " lower than cutoff is "negative ".

How does concentration compare and contrast with solubility?
Substances of a higher concentration (or with higher level of water molecules) are more soluble than lower concentration liquids.
What terms describes A solution that has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentration than another solution?
Hypotonic is the term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration than another solution Hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration compared with another solution.
If you have a lot of water in your body what is the concentration of the urine?
It's lower than average...
What is the normal constituents of CSF?
Water. It's an "ultra filtrate" of plasma - and thus (normally) has a much lower concentration of proteins, sugar, and salts than plasma.
What happens to rubisco when o2 concentration is much higher then CO2 concentration?
When ther is a higher concentration of O2 than CO2, rubisco can bind O2 in place of CO2.
What term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentrate than another solution?
Hypotonic is the term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration than another solution Hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration compared with another solution.
