Nephrons are the basic unit of the kidney that produce urine. Their processes involve filtration, reabsorption and secretion in different places. The main part of the nephron that is involved with secretion is the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). There is very little secretion in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). Usually when you refer to secretion in the nephron, it will be in the DCT.

Which scenario is most likely to occur if the mitochondria in the kidney cells were to decrease in function?

If the mitochondria in kidney cells were to decrease in function, it would likely lead to reduced ATP production, impairing the cells' ability to perform essential functions such as filtration and reabsorption. This could result in decreased kidney efficiency, leading to fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and potentially causing renal dysfunction or failure. Additionally, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species due to impaired mitochondrial function could further damage kidney tissue.
