How much blood does the heart filter a day?

No. The heart undergoes cleaning in the Kidney. In the kidney the blood is filtered and re-filtered many times to remove most impurities that the blood does not need. Research the kidney and you will get your answer! All the heart does is pump the blood around the body! Hope this helps!


Cells of plant make A 120 molecules of glucose an hour cells of plant B make half as much glucose as plant doeshow much glucose does plant B make every minute?

Plant B makes 60 molecules of glucose every hour. To find out how much glucose plant B makes every minute, divide the amount of glucose made per hour by 60 minutes. Therefore, plant B makes 1 molecule of glucose per minute.


What are some materials that are filtered from the blood?

When blood is flowing through your kidneys and getting filtered a lot of things that go through the filter are salts, water, urea, glucose and some amino acids go through. Later on much of the water, salt and some glucose and amino acids get reabsorbed. So much of what your urine is composed of is urea, water, salt with extremely small amounts of glucose and amino acids.


How much energy is extracted from one glucose molecule?

about 36 to 38 ATP molecules are produced for every glucose molecule.


What happens if you have too much glucose in your body?

Having too much glucose in your body can lead to health problems like diabetes. High levels of glucose can damage organs and blood vessels, causing complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. It is important to maintain a balanced level of glucose in the body to prevent these issues.


Should ketones or glucose be found in urine?

One of the most common diseases associated with glucose and ketones in the urine is diabetes mellitus. Normally glucose in the blood is filtered and fully reabsorbed by the kidney so that no glucose appears in the urine. In diabetes mellitus, blood glucose is so high that an excessive amount of glucose is filtered -- so much so that the kidney cannot fully reabsorb it. Consequently, the excess glucose winds up in the urine, a condition called glucosuria. In normal individuals, blood glucose is kept at a stable level by the actions of insulin. When insulin is present and the body's cells are sensitive to it, glucose from the blood is taken up by the cells, decreasing blood glucose. In diabetes mellitus, however, either insulin is not present, or the body's cells are insensitive to it. Consequently, the cells do not take up glucose. As glucose is one of the cell's major substrates for energy, the cell must use alternative measures to generate energy. One of the major mechanisms is through the metabolism of fats. One of the produces of fat metabolism is a molecule called acetyl CoA, which can be further metabolized to form energy. But in fat metabolism, so much excess acetyl CoA is produced that it overwhelms the enzymes that convert it into energy. As a consequence, the excess acetyl CoA is shunted to alternative pathways that take care of it. One of the pathways is the production of ketone bodies. As a result, ketone levels rise and ultimately can end up in the urine just as glucose did, as described above.

How much does kreb cycle produce?

One turn produces 1 ATP. So 2 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose (because it happens twice for every glucose molecule)


What is the role of creatinine?

Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism that is excreted at a constant rate by the kidneys. It is a useful indication of kidney function and can be used to calculate the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) that indicates how much fluid is filtered by a glomerulus (filtration unit of the kidney) per minute/hour etc.


How does the kidney work with these system?

I not sure what you are referring to as these system. Just think of your kidneys as a filter for your body, it filters out the things it does not want, or maybe you have to much of. For example had a patient once who had to much magnesium in her TPN, her kidney filtered it out thru urination. She all of a sudden started putting out large amounts of urine. Having said that if you had kidney issue, your body could not do this and you die. With out at least one working kidney, you are on a dialysis machine. The machine acts just like your kidney do if they were working it filters out the bad stuff and put clean blood back in your system.
