Hydrogen ion excretion is the result of standard kidney (nephron) function, when processing fluids in the body. This is done at the bottom of the kidneys.

Which is the main site of fluid filtration in the kidney nephron?

The main site of fluid filtration in the kidney nephron is the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries located in the renal corpuscle of the nephron. Here, blood is filtered to form the initial filtrate that will eventually become urine through the process of ultrafiltration.


Which part of nephron contains more and less amount of glucose and urea?

The proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron contains the highest concentration of glucose, as it is the primary site for glucose reabsorption from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. Conversely, the concentration of urea is higher in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, as these segments are involved in the secretion and concentration of waste products, including urea. Thus, glucose is abundant in the proximal convoluted tubule, while urea is more concentrated in the latter parts of the nephron.


How many bonding points does a hydrogen atom have?

3 bonds


Why are site factors important?

A site factor is a benefit of being in an area or town and why it was built in that particular place instead of somewhere else. (For example, a site factor could be a river. You can get water to: Cook, Wash, Fish and to help with Transport.)


Why hydroxylamine reduces ability of enzyme to break down hydrogen peroxide?

Hydroxylamine is a competitive inhibitor. It fits onto the active site(the place where chemical reactions occur on an enzyme) of an enzyme, but it does not react. This causes the hydroxylamine to compete with the normal substrate for the active sites on the enzymes.

Why loop diuretics promote calcium excretion?

Loop diuretics act by competing for the chloride site on the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter. Inhibiting sodium chloride reabsorption also inhibits the backleak of potassium and the generation of the lumen-positive potential. As a result, calcium excretion rises.
